Monitors and MemoryI recently bought a Samsung Viewfinity S9. Iām using it with my MacBook Air M3, connecting the MacBook via the Thunderbolt 4 cable that came with the monitor.
However, I have an issue with an electrical noise (probably coil whine) coming from the back. This problem occurs when I connect the monitor to the MacBookāa slight buzzing sound appears.
Thereās no noise when the mac is not connected or when itās in main interface of the monitor or in settings interface. The sound changes when I connect or disconnect the camera that came with the monitor. The sound changes when I remove the camera, and it changes again when I plug it back in.
Iām not sure if that sound is normal or not. Because, Itās very quiet, but in a silent room, itās quite disturbing.
Is there anyone having the same sound issue with the Samsung monitors? Do you think it is related to thunderbolt cable. Should i but a new cable or should i use miniDP port?

Monitors and Memoryim having the same issues.
i've had a samsung technician replace a board already but the issue has come back about a month later.
has varying levels of whine, using with both a mac mini m2 pro, and a windows laptop. doesn't happen when using monitors inbuilt OS.
just about to contact support for a more suitable solution.
