My second post in the forum, I've been discussing this issue with the Microsoft team for over a week now. They asked me to update my laptop and run the diagnostic test, which I did. After I sent the results (no fault in the system was the result), they simply sent the following to me:
"They sound that if the sound ig grinding sound that its no longer normal. If you wish to have the device replaced, they suggest to take it to the local MS Store so you can requeest for an exchange.
If the sound is a buzzing, then our higher support teamn said it is still normal for as long as its not too loud. If you find it very unpleasant, you can alwasy take it back to the local MS Store to request for an exchange.
For now, we will just close this case as we have already provided you all the information. Thank you so much for your time."
The following was my reply to them:
Hey Ian,
I'm not sure if you are reading your very own official Microsoft forum. There are many customers who got their laptop replaced and their replacements have also had this sound. What's the point of going through the entire process if you cannot guarantee me a niggle free laptop and please don't tell me the sound is normal. This is NOT my first laptop that I have owned, this is definitely the last Microsoft laptop I am purchasing though. One of the most valuable companies in the world and your great senior team cannot figure out the root cause for the problem. PATHETIC. On top of this, you have the audacity to close my complaint without solving it. You cannot close it without me telling you I'm satisfied with your service, which I'm clearly not.
What Pathetic customer service, very very DISAPPOINTED IN MICROSOFT. So much for trusting Windows/Microsoft.
