The Mac Studio is a small computer with much CPU power. Some people say it's silent, others have complaints that it's too noisy. It seems that the Ultra is more silent because of the better cooling system. I have read that the fans run at 1325 rpm idle which is rather fast. What are the impressions of someone who bought the Mac Studio Max? (not the Ultra)
M1 Max. While much quieter than the large windows machine it is replacing I am very disappointed that the fan is always running. When I'm doing low power tasks such as browsing the web shouldn't the system use the low-power cores and be silent? My M1 Air seems fine with that. Hopefully Apple will address this with an update.
Since it is in the range of 2khz I'm sure you would hear this too. Age dependent high cut is in the range of 10khz.
Do you think Apple will fix the issue ? That would be great but from my experience they often ignore customers
I'm coming from a Mac Pro (and wife also using a mini too), so it's much quieter for me. The Studio fan noise is between a Mac Pro and Mac mini. So it really depending on what you're used to.
But this is a desktop computer. A Mac Pro is much louder.
I have the M1 Max version, and its whisper quiet.
Yep, I agree, the 2KHz whine is less pronounced at 1350rpm. My fan is set to 1150rpm, this is the sweet spot on my Studio.
That's not good news. Is the wailing coming out of one half or both? Just plug the holes properly with your palm, for a moment, and listen.

Apple = function follows form....
In this case they change the form for a better cooling. But it didn't went well either.
Mine (Max) is very quiet. The fans run about 1325 even when I render a short movie. Probably would be much higher in a longer editing task. The Ultra may be noisier.
I have it about a month. I got a replacement unit a few days ago, but I sent it back because it was exhibiting the same behavior. The noise seems to come from both sides.
I find your post helpful but when I click on "helpful" nothing happens.
Maybe blocked by Apple. Just kidding ;)
Apple deleted the link to my similar video. Hopefully this will hold up.
How noisy is the Mac Studio M1 Max?
