hey man, if both system are loud....but one is far better than the other in performance but you chose the slowest one...then good for you
exactly....i mean i think here are some people/users who dont use/need the performance of these devices , but they want a silent furniture with apple logo on it

I never place my frustrating before the money income/time ratio
I would understand IF both systems were at least close in performance but ...
We have someone who does production. Went from a 2018 i7 Mini to a M1 Max studio. The best thing he said was the silence. Just get one and test it for 2 weeks. Thats a decent return window.
That’s too bad, sorry to hear that. Will you get another o e?
Not 100% sure yet but considering it. I'd be very happy if I just got one that was normal.
I'm in the same situation.
M1 max studio is almost silent. Even when pushed to the max for hours. Just because there have been reports of a few faulty machines, it does not mean they are all noisey! If you got one with a noise issue then you could simply get it replaced. The only time I hear a tiny bit of fan is when I work at 6am and every thing is silent. Only the MBA is quieter. Probablyno other machine in the world has that amount of power with almost zero fan noise
Would there be a cabling issue if you had the Studio partitioned off in its own space?
Truly made me laugh 😅 Between all the seriousness in figuring out and meassuring sound levels and frequencies… an elf whistling random notes??
I can also tell you more directly 😉 I make buying decisions based on other people’s experiences. But yes, it’s not always easy to figure out what information is important/representative. But I can tell tou this: In the past, two of my Macs have had hardware and/or software faults that were widely reported by users in online forums. One of them (a 27” top of the line iMac) died due to a faulty graphics card - a specific issue reported by many other users on that very model. So, yes, I do take reported issues seriously 😊
I couldn't care less what people on the internet say about it. I see what it is on paper, I see what Apple says about it, and if its the right fit, I get it, and keep working. All of this time an energy spent evaulating what other people think...blah, was a terrible waste of time. Horrible thing internet culture has created.
My guess is that the whining noise is imperceptible to most and sorts itself out as the device get used at operating temperature. Either you need a new Mac to get done what you need to get done, or your simply an indecisive person who has screened themselves into the ground with the “What Ifs”, which is a terrible state to be stuck in. Bite the bullet or keep what you have.
As far as I understand, the whistle/whine noise recides in the 2-4000 hz range, which is well within the human hearing spectrum. Why it would sort itself out over time I wouldn’t know, but hope is always allowed. Other than that, yes, I will keep using the Mini as a stop gap for a few months over the summer and see where things stand by then. Hopefully, the noise reports die out as Apple fixes it on the hardware side (if it is indeed a somewhat broader problem), or maybe they’ll release a Mini with an M2 Pro and better I/O… like I said, hope is always allowed.
I haven’t heard about it either! Or actually experienced it. Tap-to-click on my 16” Pro M1 works wonderfully and the speakers are perfectly silent unless playing music while I work - and at a quality that I’ve never heard on any consumer computer.
It’s a high pitched noise. The expected noise from a fan would not be in this range, unless there was some sort of flaw or bearing damage. This is the noise everyone is complaining about and it’s a non-issue. But I can see how it might drive someone crazy that is driven crazy by this sort of thing. It is not loud enough to be annoying to a normal person. Anyone that thinks this impacts “production work” does not remember 2003 or the era of loud fan computing.
