I hear a lot of electrical noise through my headphones when I'm listening to my Samsung S5 and it's charging. The electrical noise disappears when I unplug the charging cable.

I've tried two different cables and they both do the same thing.

Anything I can do to eliminate this electrical interference? Maybe put something over the charging cable or the headphone cable?

Don't listen when it is charging.

This usually only happens when charging from a car. As silly as it sounds, try plugging in to several different outlets around the house, you could have something with a bad ground on 1 phase. Also, maybe try a different charger.
