    I found some reviews on this topic, but I couldn't get the real answer.

    So, I bought the New Razer Blade 14' 1060 GTX 1TB.
    The issue is that the computer is making a noise that seems to be electrical or from the SSD.
    It is not that loud but I can hear it, and it keeps the whole time.
    I would like to know if this sound is going to stop in the future or if a should RMA the laptop.
    This noise also seems to affect the sound system, while doing skype or listening to piano music.
    It changes a bit when the computer is with the power connector, making a bit more noise.
    The charger is working well.

    I would like to know if any of you guys could solve this issue or if the noise stopped after some days using the laptop. (I bought it a week ago)...

    Should be coilwhine, pretty common nowdays in notebooks, sadly.

    Shouldn't harm your computer but it's enough of a reason for Razer to accept your RMA if you find it too annoying.

    If it's the coilwhine,will it stop in the future?
    The computer is working normally, it's a beast. The only problem is the noise...

    I don't think so. I haven't owned a notebook experiecing the issue nor I've ever followed someone who had one in the long term though, so try asking or just googling that; it's a common issue, there's should be tons of material over the net.

    I tried already. The problem is that in every review that I found there are different explanations and different opinions. No one knows exactly what is it.
    That sucks because the computer works great...
    But, Thank you anyways!

    If you aren't TOO much in hurry, I'd suggest just returning it and getting one more, just to be totally sure. I wouldn't invest so much money keeping even a small risk.

    The response I got on the Razer forums from other users. To the same question:

    "That's called coil whine ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_noise) and is "normal" - My RB does it as well. You can switch to power saver mode, that will mostly fix it."

    Coil whine is harnless but annoying. its just the frequency of electronic vibrations in your system that is audible because of its frequency. every pc has coil whine but if you do not hear it, its out of the audible spectrum what a human can hear. in general it only becomes less audible or more audible depending the load, not age of the system.
