To be honest, I don't hear high pitched coil whine in this video.

My M1 is also silent, but he is complaining about an M2 ... Maybe different fan ware?
;JOOP!
Who's complaining? The video? I read in this forum that M2 Max fans are even more silent than M1 Max and run at 1100 rpm instead of 1300. Even Apple states in their documents that M2 Max is more silent. Can't say anything about coil whine. Hard to hear in that video even at max volume. Sounds just like background noise.
you have to up the volume ... the high pitched noise start from 4sec to 23sec ... it is just enough noticeable if I am using Mac without playing any audio
if you r talking about my video ... you have to up the volume ... start from 4sec till 23sec ... fan noise is only there because I put my phone very near to Mac Studio, other than that fan noise is totally silent. Only high pitched sound like cricket can be heard while I am using.
You will have to up your volume, there is a faint high pitched sound kicking in at 4sec last until 23sec. No sure my ear is super sensitive to that frequency, I can hear every time the whine kicks in and goes off while using it.
I think the issue here is age. With age people lose their ability to hear higher frequencies. I think that’s why some people say it’s totally silent while others say it’s terrible. I’ve been told that CRT televisions make a really high pitch whine that drive younger people crazy but I can’t hear anything 🤷♂️🤣
I did turn up the volume but I can’t here the high pitched sound, probably because I am too old.
Just got an M1 Max (4 days). Super quiet and no whine. This is replacing a trash can than seemed a little louder (but was also never a problem).
If your Mac is sounding anything like the YouTube videos you linked, please take it back to the Apple store for a full refund. I’m sure they won’t even question the return 🤣🤦♂️🤣🤣
Not suggesting it sounds as loud as that, I'm just giving a sample of a tone at the approximate frequency that it's been claimed the Studio makes to demonstrate that it's not especially high. If someone can't hear those frequencies, I'm sure they'll already know about it.
Oh, I hear those loud and clear but can't hear the whine in the previous video.

This is also the case with me.Oh, I hear those loud and clear but can't hear the whine in the previous video.
I have the base M2 Max and I hear the noise if I leave my Studio on for a couple of days. No change to performance but it does not bother me as much to be honest. Apple care+ for 3 years so I will take advantage of it.
You did more than 'dare', unfortunately
Mysogyny (or misandry, for that matter), really doesn't enter-into-it.
