Apple Studio Display - High pitched 'whirring' sound

Last week I received my new Studio displays, I have 2 setup and connected to my 2022 14" MBP. No issues with setup, they work great. However, one of the screens makes a rather annoying 'whirring' sound. It's relatively quiet but high pitched. My wife cannot hear it but its driving me crazy.


Anyone else had this issue. I watched a teardown video on YouTube and suspect its one of the fans inside.


Cheers

Darren

Thank you, when I connected the screens up the first time I was prompted to update. So both screens are up to date. I returned the noisier screen, ordered a replacement and its pretty much the same. All three screens seem to generate quite a bit of heat and its likely just the fans working to cool down the internals. It’s very quiet so you wont hear it in an Apple Store, but in a quiet home environment it is slightly annoying, especially compared to my 2022 MBP which is ice cold and silent despite running 12+ hours a day everyday.
