I have a Mac Studio and NO it is not noisy "Fan gate". This is a lie, and your username makes me question if you have ulterior motives to spread said lie?
I'm on my third Mac Studio. Changed the first and the second was quiet for about a week. There are 2 different power supply and an apparent power supply lottery going on. Anyone complaining about noise can hear a higher than normal oscillation frequency. Typing on mine right now I can hear it without other noises in the background. I don't think people with the problem should be relegated as liars. This is a real issue to some and can totally understand why others are not bothered. Way to many variables in environments, etc. I will say lowering the fans to 1,100 RPM lessons the high pitched noise being rapidly exhausted out of the rear of the Studio. That's about it. I still think if you want a system on the cheap and with 32 GB of memory, the Mac Studio is the best value going. I don't subscribe to the fact that spending 1300 more on. a MBP with max processor is a better value. I tried the laptop thing and will never go that route again.
