Hello,
Yesterday I bought a brand new Acer Nitro 5. Immediately I noticed that, when the AC is plugged in, there's a rather noticeable buzzing sound coming from under the left side of the keyboard. This sound becomes less noticeable when the AC isn't plugged in. Without AC though, if you put your ear closer to the keyboard, I can still however hear the typical HDD sound, but in the same rhythm. When it's quite even that sound is quite noticeable. I've tried to look for more information already throughout these forums but I couldn't really find anything as specific as my current problem.
My specs are:
OS: Windows 10 Home
Processor: Intel Core i5-8300H
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4GB dedicated RAM
Memory: 8GB DDR4
Storage: 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD
The buzzing sound corresponds mostly with the movement of my mouse and other activity of my laptop. For example on Chrome when on Discord, it buzzes in the rhythm of the | that blinks to showcase that you can type there. And whenever someone is replying to me and Discord shows someone is typing the buzzing corresponds with that text and keeps up until the person has send the message. On Youtube however, this buzzing sound seems to be more constant. It's important to tell that, this buzzing sound does not appear whenver using Word or whenever I use Microsoft Edge. On Chrome however, it becomes like a buzzing echo of anything I do. It's also more quiet whenever I'm on the desktop. The same thing also happens on Spotify and Steam. What's more, whenever Steam or Youtube are open in the background, the buzzing sound remains more constant even if I'm not on the webpage or have Steam completely in the background (so not opened, not minimized, simply active cause I opened it once). Whenever I change the Energy Plan to Balanced or lower, the buzzing still appears, but more infrequent.
I'm sadly very sensitive to these kinds of subtle sounds (and to add to mix, I suffer from anxiety) and I definitely seem to pick it up much easier than any other members of my family. I might get used to it, but I'm actually worried if this supposed to happen or that I should go back to the store and ask them to look at it. Or that perhaps someone here knows what it is and how to possibly combat it.
