(Note: if you hear a distinct hissing or high-pitched whistling instead of a buzz or scratch, that might be the altogether different phenomenon known as “capacitor squeal.” This is something to be concerned about, since it indicates a failing component.)Sadly, there isn’t an easy fix for coil whine, like an updated driver or a Windows setting.

Your system isn’t losing any performance or longevity because of coil whine. It can be annoying, of course, but it isn’t like a rattling engine or a squeaking wheel-the noise is a byproduct of your PC and graphics card’s normal operation. Coil whine can be especially noticeable-not to mention frustrating!-on otherwise “silent” PCs, like low-power home theater PCs or gaming PCs with a liquid cooling system.Ĭoil whine is really nothing to be concerned about. It might be particularly noticeable when running a 3D game or high-intensity graphics application. In bad cases, you can actually hear the pitch of the coil whine change as the GPU draws more or less power, and the electrical frequency across various components shifts. This is especially true for anyone who’s sensitive to high-frequency noises.

& could it be Coil Whine?Yes it could come from the charger transformer or even from the GPU but, when you’re dealing with high end modern PCs, especially the graphics card and power supply, these vibrations can be audible.
