Hi Australiumator,

Do you have a cover on it? Take the cover off to see if that makes a difference.

Lay it in a hard, perfectly flat surface, in a perfectly quiet environment. Is it still making the noise? There are no moving parts on an iPad (the cooling is passive). Be absolutely sure the noise is coming from the iPad.

Is this happening when the iPad is under extreme use (lots of activity that would put heaviest use on the SOC).


If you have AppleCare+ I'd open a case with Apple Support. If you don't have AppeCare+ or warranty,, you can take it on to an Apple Store to have it examined by a repair specialist.
