Macbook Air M1 Vibrating on touch when connected to external monitor and while charging

Hello everyone

I recently got a new Macbook Air M1 2020 and noticed that if I run my fingers through the back of the device or the area above the function keys I can feel a sort of electrical vibration. I noticed this happens on two scenarios. First I noticed it does this while charging with the charger included in the box but also when I connect my external monitor. For this I use a displayport cable connected to my Macbook with a displayport to USB-C dongle/adapter. There is no pass through charging involved here.

Would really appreciate if someone could confirm whether this is normal or harfmul to the macbook. Thank you for your help

MacBook Air (2020 or later)
