Some Mac Studio users complain of a high-pitched hum

It is not acceptable that you spend a pasture in a whole MacStudio, and when you give it a little cane it makes you buzz like a PlayStation. That is what is happening to some users (not all, luckily) of the new and powerful Apple computer.

In the usual social networks and technology forums, several users of the new Mac Studio are chirping because they say they hear a very high pitched buzz quite annoying coming from the back of the computer. Wow fabric.

A few weeks ago Apple put its new and powerful Mac Studio on the market, and there are already some complaints from its users. They say they have noticed that their machines are making a high-pitched sound that seems to be coming from the internal fan.

Most of the complaints come from owners of the cheaper Mac Studio with processor Max M1 instead of the Ultra version. It is very reasonable, since the two models have different thermal settings.

Users who have complained have described the noise as a high frequency sound which is hard to ignore, and adds to the standard more serious fan noise. It appears after a week or two of being released.

The M1 Max and the M1 Ultra have different heat sinks, which explains why one machine is experiencing problems while the other is not. The M1 Ultra is equipped with a much larger copper heatsink, which probably prevents the fan from turning on at the same frequency, and there also seems to be an issue with the M1 Max's configuration that causes the annoying buzzing sound.

You must also indicate that not all units The M1 Max Mac Studio seem to be experiencing this issue, as some users have reported no unusual noise other than the usual humming of a fan.

Users who have purchased a Mac Studio that are within their two-week return period can exchange their unit for another, but there are reports of replacement machines still having the same problem. Until Apple manifests itself, we don't know if it's a hardware problem, or has a solution through a software adjustment. We'll see then.

    Logically, those of the MAC Studio 1Max complain, the Ultra will begin to receive them shortly if they are the ones that come from the configuration, if they have bought it with a personalized configuration, at least those of the 1Max, the majority will still be waiting for them. I bought a Mac Studio 1Max and returned it shortly, frankly, for now I prefer to wait... The M3 is already being talked about... what is Apple playing? you spend a lot of money on a computer and after a short time they modify it or withdraw it directly as they have done with the 27″ Imac Pro… It is better that after the time it has taken to get something worthwhile they make sure that it does not give Simple problems such as noise, fans, heating or OS that is not to rave about as it slows down the rest of the equipment purchased less than 2 years ago. A user who has been working with a Mac since 1.990 speaks and has tried almost all the models (the ones from before better than the ones from now without a doubt)…

      We had gotten used to a very slow pace of updates in Macs, because Intel set the pace, and now with Apple Silicon and its own processors, everything has changed. Those from Cupertino have already caught up with the A processors and they have to be renewed every year, without much sense for computer users. It may be more reasonable to change your iPhone every two or three years, but if you buy a Mac, you hope that it will last you many years, and that it will not become obsolete in the first place. They are already working on the M3 series when we have not yet seen the M2. It is what it is….
