Hi everyone,

Two days ago I got my Nvidia Shield Tablet from overclockers and everything was fine but last night I have noticed that there is some buzzing sound coming out of a speaker. After quick googling I found that many people are having this issue(although some people don't). It is very noticeable in quiet environment and especially when you load some "heavy" games. So I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue ?

I really like the tablet, but this buzzing is driving me mad and it looks like replacing the tablet will not solve the issue.
 
I've been reading on nvidia forum that some people ended up having broken tablets after the noise appeared. How long do you have yours ? Does buzz becomes louder with time ?
 
I`m sorry if I gave you this impression, but I don`t have this tablet.
I was considering it at one point, and checking for reviews I found out about this, and checked if there was a fix for it.

This was the main reason why I didn`t go with one.
