Hi,
I know this sounds like a stupid question, but is it normal to hear high pitched buzzing, clicking and “electrical” sounds from the back of the iPad, especially during intensive tasks? If i place my head a couple of inches away from the back of the iPad I can hear it during these tasks. During normal tasks i can’t really hear it that much.
Are you sure the noise is from the back of the iPad - and not, possibly, from one of its speakers?
If the noise is definitely from the “internals” of the iPad, then the issue could be with one of the high-frequency power converters mounted on the logic board. Electronic power converters under high load can occasionally become mechanically noisy (a phenomena most noticeable with laminated inductor components).
Whilst annoying - and not “normal” - unless you are suffering other issues, this might not be a fault that should be cause for concern.
However, if you are within your warranty period, as a precautionary measure, I would recommend returning to your retailer. If the purchase was very recent, then I’d be inclined to insist upon a “new” replacement (if the consumer laws in your part of the world support this remedy). If returning to Apple outside of your 14 day “unconditional return” period, Apple might offer you an exchange for a “brown box” reconditioned unit - that, in theory at least, should be “as new”.
I hope this proves to be helpful.

I don't think its coming from the speakers.
Yeah the purchase was very recent, so I could get a replacement.
Thanks for the help.
