Macbook M4 Pro makes noises while copying files (+-500 mb))

Macbook M4 Pro makes noises when i am copying files (+- 500 mb). And it is not fan, it is like there is hdd instead of ssd, may be it is coil whine or something else. You can here the noises in quiet room. I don't know if it is normal. Should i worry about this and return mac?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.3
