The buzzing sound while playing is likely due to system activity or background processes.
The buzzing sound while playing is likely due to system activity or background processes.
I've observed a periodic buzzing from my PC during gameplay, though it doesn't occur constantly. It happens intermittently over the past week, usually when the game is running but I pause the session. After about ten minutes, the noise subsides and resumes when I resume. The video on Imgur captures this sound clearly—you can hear it when I pause and it stops, then restart when I return. It seems to be related to the GPU, as the buzz disappears only when the GPU is inactive. I've also checked the fans and cables, but none are causing the issue.
Coil whine tends to increase with frame rate and power consumption. Consider limiting FPS or enabling V-Sync to potentially reduce it. You might also attempt using thermal pads or similar materials to dampen the sound. Some ASUS models address this by applying thermal paste over the coils.

Great, thanks. I understand it's happening but appreciate the confirmation and your suggestion to ease it.
