Hello!

In my new laptop I noticed that a "buzzing/squeaking" sound is coming out near the WSAD keys
Is this a problem with a squeaking coil or power supply? so do you have such a buzzing sound in your laptop?
it's normal? should i worry about it?


below I am sending a sound recording with a buzzing sound from the WSAD area

    I have the Nitro 5 AN515-55 2021 model having the same coil whine problem, no buzzing on battery mode when switched to the balanced and performance mode especially when gaming you can hear it but not a distinct level, fans cover up the noise. Maybe it will be reduced by the long term usage. Initially I bought a new Lenovo Region 5 and refunded it due to coil whine noise to compare with the Acer Nitro 5 it's nothing really important. You can use 1 mm thermal pads on the capacitors to reduce heat and noise.
