I've picked Surface Pro 4 m3 version becouse 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.
Surface Pro 4, annoying noise from the back!

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?

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.

2015-12-16T04:31:45+00:00 Same with my surface pro 4 128g. I thought it is a coil whine. Annoying in silent rooms. I am considering returning my device and exchange for a new one. Just don't know if this is common with everyone's surface pro.
