When an electronic device like laptop, tablet, phone, etc. is working, sometimes you
might hear a “beep” noise and it’s not coming from the speakers or the fans. This
kind of high-pitched noise is called “Coil Whine”. It may occur in the design of
today's high-power computer products, and is neither a hardware defect nor
affecting the device.

When the system loading changed, the electrical current changes under the low
performance of CPU. While the current flows through the electric components
inside the laptop, it causes resonance and then high-frequency noise happens. This
is the component characteristic, and it won’t affect the hardware.

How to prevent high-frequency noise (Coil Whine)?

The coil whine is easier to be heard in a quiet environment, or for the people who
are more sensitive of higher frequency sound. ASUS will reduce the noise as much
as possible, but this noise can’t be completely eliminated due to this sound is a
physical phenomenon produced by normal using a device.
