You said you had a recording of the sound. My surface pro 4 is making the same sound. Could I listen to the recording, please?

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?

as soon as possible. Do not exchange online as you will get a refurb.
