コイル鳴き、普通に製品作る際は消したい物だけど、あえて遊ぶことも出来る pic.twitter.com/05x5UsA7WL https://t.co/3yoAyru82o July 16, 2026
Sorry I don’t recognize the tune being played. It sounds like it could be a classic Nintendo Game Boy game music track, but almost anything played through a coil may sound like that.
Many of you will have bought or built a high-performance PC that is afflicted with components that produce audible coil whine. In my long computer tinkering history, I only remember two coil whine emitting components: a Zotac RTX 4080 , and a (recent) lesser-known Chinese brand NVMe SSD . Other components that might have noisy coils are PSUs and motherboards.
Coil whine is an audible phenomenon that occurs when inductors (and sometimes capacitors) vibrate in response to rapidly changing electrical loads. For PC enthusiasts this can be maddening if you have what is otherwise a pleasingly quiet machine. PCs most often exhibit coil whine when you are hitting very high frame rates (GPU) or transferring oodles of data files (SSD). It is usually a high-pitched audible effect, so coil whine can be particularly bothersome to those who can hear high-pitched sounds clearly and are sensitive to them.
