Laptop sizzle noise

Is it coil whine? A couple of years ago, I saw a Thinkpad Carbon X1 making such noise. I wouldn’t know why it comes up under a Qubes installation and not under other OSes.

I have such noise on Thinkpad T16, too.
In GNU/Linux everything is fine, in Qubes OS - electric noise.

Quite electric noises (maybe active SSD usage on system idle)

I have Thinkpad T16 Gen 1 and it makes this quite electric noises when I use Qubes OS even in idle. Kubuntu does not produce them during idle. I had similar noise on different laptop, it’s not monotone, but like very quite HDD working (e.g. copying files), but more electric, I think it can be from M.2 SSD (strange idea but I have no better). If somebody has other ideas about were this quite electric noises can be - please tell me. Is there a way to check what is writing/reading data actively…
