M2 Macbook Air are not quiet as they advertised. They're making extremely loud noise while starting up, opening apps, previewing images. It's around 50~60db and between 13k~18k hetz. Average person hearing range are between 20~18kHz which means this noise is human audiable. I have been to Apple Genius Bar multiple times and reached out Apple Techinical Support for 4 month. First time they said they couldn't hear the noise and reset my system. Then I recorded video and amplify the noise. And they said this Macbook Air passed all the test. Saying they don't know how to fix it. Telling me this is a expected noise would coming from a computer. But they still suggest me to reach Apple Techinical Support. I spent few months back and forth. They finally request a repair to Genius Bar. And they replaced my motherboard. But issue does not fixed. I don't think this noise does coming from other modules. Because the noise is coming from the top left corner of keyboard. Which is the position of motherboard. So they either replaced a faulty motherboard or M2 Macbook Air are all faulty. I'm not sure does M3 Macbook making this noise. But I can be sure that M1 Macbook Air does not. You should prevent all M2 Macbook
Also the replaced motherboard making even louder noise. Before I could only hear this noise while playing with LLM model or previewing images. Now it's making noise even I am doing nothing. And it's so loud that I can hear it meters away. And they're telling me this was the last time I could replace motherboard. Is this true? I cannot live with this noise.
