Yes, I can see Teams renderer is a huge leak over there, but don't think under Intel it runs a lot better, take a look at my Activity Monitor on a i9-9900K under High Sierra with similar issues:
Yeah I know the pain
I should have gone with 32GB, wasn't really expecting to have issues with 16GB since my M1 Air has been doing work just fine! Lots of swap sure, but the 8GB was doing okay with 8GB swap every day.
The shot I posted is my work machine and being "mild" used, my usual workloads involve 12-24GB ... and rig is anchored to High Sierra due to Apple/NVIDIA stuff, you know.Yeah I know the pain
Either way 16GB is more than fine as long as you don't have memory leaks ahaha
just got my hands on another unit ehehJust tried and zero static or hiss noise, it's 1am and dead quiet here, also I placed my ear like 1cm away from the vent side, nothing, and I can tell you that I'm particularly sensitive with sounds (I could hear the "electronic" hiss sound of my vaper while is 30cm away and screen is on ... or the hum from the fridge with kitchen door closed, and I couldn't hear any static coming from the Macbook while on mute)
If you're facing these issues it can be caused by a lot of reasons, software and/or hardware; in guitar amps and other external speakers, even on in-audio desktop computers, this can be caused by bad cable shielding or most likely, a bad electric-ground connection which tends to cause buzzes/hisses or white noise, even surrounding electromagnetic fields could interfere, but as mentioned, there are A LOT of reasons and it would be really hard trying to guess.
I'd go to Apple again and explain the issue, from there, I'd exchange the unit unless they find the cause and are able to fix it. This is giving you a hard headache
Without wanting to start a battle here, I am extremely sensitive to sounds, spotting on high/low frequencies at low dB range, checked with Physicians, but maybe you're superior as you mention, so who knows ?
At this point, I don't know what to tell you regarding the machines, you started asking for temperatures and they were not concerning, the strange "speakers/sparkling" glitch appeared but didn't happen again, a technician reviewed the guts of that machine and told you nothing was wrong, despite that, you still were not confident, told me the static was still present and to perform those tests which in my case are negative; and yet you managed to get a new unit that has the same static noise problem plus bigger ones.
Ahaha I was actually kidding .I'm simply hypersensitive,but that's allWithout wanting to start a battle here, I am extremely sensitive to sounds, spotting on high/low frequencies at low dB range, checked with Physicians, but maybe you're superior as you mention, so who knows 😂
I tried your exact same steps, not only pausing but muting as you said yesterday, and no, I didn't hear anything at all but dead silence, not even electronic sound/hum/buzz of any kind, so maybe you're more sensitive than me or both machines present same hiss.
Btw, as you mention "speakers don't make noise but the vents do", static air pressure changes from open ambient to a closed one, those vents can interfere cause they're in fact, small tunnels, so the hissing can be a perception from yours when you place your ears near them. You can accomplish a similar effect by sticking your hand as a roll (or a real toilet paper roll) to your ear, you'll experience how your ambient perception/hearing is different.

So my 2 cents, you should keep the one you think it's best or don't keep any at all, and don't settle till you're satisfied cause you clearly aren't, and IMHO, asking for other's thoughts on what bothers you can be counter-productive on some picky stuff. Honestly, follow your "big smart brain". All I can share is my experience.
Best of lucks
Don't worry, no offense taken, but ty for the clarification.
I'm a madman too regarding Apple devices, I know your feelings, so helping as I'd like to be helped is the less I could do. And last but not least, so sorry to tell you that no, the yellow tint is no present on my unit, but I do remember exchanging an old iPhone 4S for that reason.
im sorry i still dont know how to quote ,ill learn it tomorrow hopefully lol (how to quote specific sentences )
In case you're interested here is a thread about it ,as well as a video (speaker at low volume )
IMHO, watching your palm rests and SSD, your ambient is ok, so those high temps on the SoC don't seem normal, can you share an activity monitor screenshot of CPU tab & memory tab ordered by percentage?
I can hear the hiss but no crackling, though I had to raise my headphones nearly to 100%, IDK what is created by the machine, and what is created by the ambient that also the microphone is recording.
What are you talking about when u say "the microphone is recording " .why is it ? What for ? How do u know it is
Cause ambient microphones usually record ambient static and results as noise when played, some frequencies you won't listen that hard, the mic is able to catch them and the final signal is kinda "amplified" for those resulting in white noise/hiss on the background, you can hear this on a call when someone is using in-hand mic and switches to hands-free, or when you record directly some footage from the TV with the cellphone and then you listen to it.
Are you keeping the first one that you had with his "guts" open then? Or you had to return it previously as well?

And my suspicion is that video was recorded with the cellphone and using the ambient microphone in a non anechoic chamber, so clearly that hiss could be "contaminated", but as The Dude will say, you know, that's just my opinion

Can't figure right now how many MBPs you have 🤣
oh btw since im about to return it and dont care about my data as im gonna delete it conmpletely,is there anything i should try,or anything you'd want me to try? installing a particualr software,chaning some complicated setttings,typing a non-reversable command in terminal ,anything ?Cause ambient microphones usually record ambient static and results as noise when played, some frequencies you won't listen that hard, the mic is able to catch them and the final signal is kinda "amplified" for those resulting in white noise/hiss on the background, you can hear this on a call when someone is using in-hand mic and switches to hands-free, or when you record directly some footage from the TV with the cellphone and then you listen to it.

Hmm looks like Firefox may be the issue? I played the exact same video through and Safari did increase temps but only to around 58C, closed Safari and played the same exact video again in Firefox and sure enough it jumped back up to 74C+ (all same apps in background)
How much CPU and GPU does Firefox use vs safari? Istats menu can tell u that
I don't recall anything else you could try, you're returning the yellow-tint one and keeping the first one right?
Firefox has a declared (and open) issue regarding this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1738926 and ppl is still having the problem on 12.1 as I experienced the other day and possibly yours too, happened to me with 12.0 and 12.0.1 as well. It is most likely created due to some issues w/ProMotion and high refresh display.
Returning the yellow (returned it 4 hours ago actually)
Oh, it's not my work device, at least not yet (I wish the company I work for made the investment for these kind of machines, unfortunately, they aren't going to do it in the next months) ... but I always want a laptop that can act as a work-replacement device in case I'm outta home or the main machine fails. And my personal MBP 2010 clearly needed a refresh. (I had a MBP 13" M1 2020 but after releasing those ... that one finished with my GF and I got the MBP 14", couldn't resist lol)
i see ,thats what u told me about the oter day innit ?
Correct, it was quite a long story as you saw hahahaha
about your story,it would seem that using something else than apple cloth is perfectly fine right? 20dollars for a ****ing cloth,apple rly are bastards
