Hello, thank you for making time for me, let's first introduce the machine.
ASUS ROG Strix Advantage Edition G713QY - https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-strix/2021-rog-strix-g17-advantage-edition-series/spec/
with few nonOEM parts (upgraded the RAM to 32GB, swapped NIC for an Intel one and added an NVMe drive) running Windows 10.
Second, the problem. I was messing around in Blender today and while moving an object, there was a sound of HDD going bad. Of course, there's no HDD. As soon as I stop moving the object, the sound stops. I captured it here:

I am worried and I used the Asus live chat to ask about the issue. They are, unlike me, not worried. Quote "Rest assured, there is no issue with the laptop, this is normal coil whine." another: "The GPU loading change will cause a change in electric current in the circuit. In turn, the current change will cause the coil to vibrate, leading to the coil noise."
I have never noticed this issue on any game or in Blender in the past. Although it is true I have updated Blender to the latest version before discovering the issue, I still don't understand how can a piece of software make a coil whine, when under any other workload there is none.
Opinions are most welcome, thank you.
