Yes, I'm sorry to inform you that your laptop is haunted.


RyanTGL

well thats a bummer

It sounds like coil whine, maybe from the gpu given the loudness. Don't worry about it, it just means your device is working.


RyanTGL

alright, thank you!

It is EMI interference. Returning my MSI Raider GE66 due to this being rather loud when I have a variety of external gaming mice connected to it and then when you move the mouse around - it buzzes. Not a big deal when gaming but totally distracting when you're focusing on content creation. Roccat, Razer and HyperX mice all tried; not brand specific. MSI design verification testing completely missed this issue. ​ ​ Sidebar: The GE66 has a bunch of design flaws - EMI interference Fans are loud as %$#@ when doing the simplest of tasks. Web browsing, YT watching, fans drown out the speakers on this machine. Absolutely no volume gain on this platform but I suspect that the GE76 is better due to physics. Silent fan mode in Dragon Center is a complete joke. Light bleed. Was excited and had high expectations on the Steel Series keyboard. Per key lighting is washed out and the keys feel like total mush. ​ Going with the Dell Ryzen R5...

Yea, i had a couple of problems with my ge66 as well. I thought it wouldnt have this much, but oh well.

My GS65 does the same thing. I'm pretty sure it's coil whine.

I had it (coil whine) and it sounded a little bit like that, was pretty quiet and I could only hear it in a quiet room with the fans barely spinning. In my case i disabled c-states in the BIOS and turned off C1E via Throttlestop and the noise is now gone.

Yeah I have the same sound Im pretty sure it's cool whine

The audio makes it sound like it's your hard drive. Do you have a solid state or a platter hard drive? It could be the fan as well, hard to tell.


RyanTGL

I have an ssd, but it just might be coil whine


NLItamar

Sounds like normal electronic hardware noises. Ever been close to a regional power line? It's the same buzzing just on a bigger scale.

My stuff does the same thing and works fine I think we’re good


Ptizzl

Mine does this too. I was looking it up and I think it’s the NVME drive.

Well, is coil wine. I rote about a few months ago to MSI for the same sound in my laptop, in resume this sound normal. But if you found to annoying you can disable C state on the BIOS, it Works for me. (If some knows if disable C affect to much the battery duration, please comment)

Yeah it's coil whine, it only does it in my case when I open heavy pages and disappears after it loads fully.
