Can someone explain why the back of my surface pro 4 (only when the brightness isn't 0% or 100%) makes a noise?

For example, when it is on 25% of brightness it starts making a strange noise slight like a whistling...

Can someone help me?

    Noise from right corner above, sounds like coil whining / high pitched noise

    2 of my friends have the same problem with Surface pro 4 Core M

    How i can fix it ?

    Hi - same problem here, - definetley not acceptable for a premium machine. Maybe not audiable on models with fan due to fan-noise...?

    Seems related to backlight Control.

    I also noticed screen flickering at some situations, which I also read that other have noticed.

    I've picked Surface Pro 4 m3 version becouseĀ I wanted completly silent device. The noise is actually quite annoying. The registry change seemed to help. I hope battery impact won't be too big.
