SSD noise

[Reflexiste]

Hello
My new 15 is great but I just have a question:
When there is a disk access, I hear a little noise when I am in total silence. Is this normal?
Thank you

What type of noise?

It should be completely silent.

It's a bit like a hard drive that scratches but more discreet.

My 2013's SSD is audible too, but only in an extremely silent room.

Or it's a parasite in the loudspeaker that happens when the machine works

It's the VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules). Every motherboard has them. When your disk/cpu usage goes up then the voltage increases. It would be nearly impossible to make the VRMs totally silent when SSDs and microchips can transfer so much data in a split second these days. The thin chassis make it more audible.

Most people don't notice such noises because they don't focus on it.

Thank you, is exactly that. You found the right words.
In this case I will not make my difficult if it's normal as the rest of the machine is perfect.
