MacBookPro 16-inch has current noise, cpu turbo frequency noise？

Man some of the macbook pro 16 dont have coil whine - so i want exactly that machines)So you speech for me no make sense)Sory

No problem. I'll keep talking to people and make my point also)

BTW，I think maybe it's the poor i9 core design disaster，have you tried the i7 conf of 16‘’s ？

Okay so this has to be cpu related 100 %. I actually fixed it. i went into photoshop-Preferences-performance and enabled use graphics processor. closed and reopened the picture ( it said you had to do that). And now it is gone. If i shut it off again its back. like i really don´t want to send it back.

Fair point. Gonna try my luck with support. Guess if it’s not such a common issue it may be just certain machines.

Only reason added to original post was to flag that have noticed a similar problem with my machine.

Well, I hope there will be a firmware solution. I know we can't break the laws of physics with hardware, but I believe there is a way to configure the OS core to trigger these Turbo Boost spikes "smoothly". Flatten the curve, you know. As to me, it would be ok to get a completely silent device as a trade off for 5-10% performance. Not 40%, as with Turbo off.

Paradoxically, traditional Software Development is one of the few intensive activities that is still largely single-threaded.

At this writing, that single-threaded performance appears to come at the price of some noise.

Have you optimized everything else you can? Like I/O? Sources and Destinations on different drives, and both different from the boot drive?

The way to get Apple's attention on your issues is to be selfish. Contact support and ask thenm to help you solve these problems, and if the first responders can not provide a solution to escalate to a specialist for more help, or file a Bug report.

Apple acts on returned computers and Bug Reports.

I just want to add to the discussion here. I am certain at least for some of us, I don't think it's a SSD write/read or issue related to while the CPU is under load.

I own a MacBook Pro 16" (upgraded to 2.4Ghz 8 core i9, 64GB RAM, and Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB memory, in case it's one of the upgraded components that is contributing to the issue). The sound does not sound like the first YouTube video mentioned in this thread of a SSD being written to. It has more of an intermittent sizzling/hissing sound. It comes from under the keyboard area(not the edges near the speakers) but I can't seem to pinpoint where. For me, this happens while under no load whatsoever. Just having the Mac on will make this noise. Putting it under load doesn't seem to make the noise change.

Was on Apple's chat support troubleshooting this as well. One of the things Apple support and I found was that the sound is not tied to software as it makes this noise no matter where I am, normal macOS, recovery partition, even when just at the boot selection window when just holding down option on start up.

I can't tell or notice if there's a performance hit or anything because of this, but its enough to be distracting from working on the Mac in quiet places as its a very distinct and noticeable pitch.

Have exact recipe how to produce this noise - go to spotlight and recreate spotlight index - such operation as indexing gives you exactly this noise

article how to recreate spotlight index https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716 - there is folder selection in example - but you can select all mac disk for better and longer sounding 😂

It is not about cooling - the noise comes from bad quality inductors - `coil whine` it is not about cooling - actually in electronics world coil whine coud be fixed with changing inductors construction or with more glu inside coil - so Grant Bennet-Alder we are talking about different noise and this topic about coil whine noise but not about coolers

Thanks, that means you ignoring facts. Also I never once said ALL MacBook Pro's will have coil whine. I SAID it's common amongst all manufacturers. Trying to play the coil whine lottery by constant returns of the 16" will lead you into a refund. Companies generally issue you a refund after the 3rd exchange.

the most annoying thing about it is that if I work in IDE I hear a coil whine sound for almost every IDE action I take - that's the game action - sound.

then tell them about it here:

be concise, space is limited.

Decided to share audio which i sent to apple and they said that this this is normal. Audio by link
