I havent had a PC without some form of coil whine in years. I gave up on a truly silent PC because of it, and decided I'd rather hear a fan slowly turning than silence other than whine.
I've gone through 4 TXP's, 2 1080 FE's, a 1070 IN A GDAMN NOTEBOOK, and now the 1080 Hybrid.
THEY ALL HAVE COIL WHINE. WHAT THE HELL NVIDIA.
k that's it.
I like your common cause theory, but I doubt it is OP's body. Probably PSU/Mobo + seriously bad luck with the laptop.Maybe there is something wrong with you. Maybe ear infection?
Fan coils arent noisy tho...Nvidia doesn't make the Fans

I would hazard a guess that the power supply has poor DC ripple supression, or if it originally had good ripple suppression it has since degraded.
Some cards will have could whine, but like the dude who "literally had 12 1080s from 5 different manufacturers" that had coil whine, a really good place to look next would be power delivery (PSU, Active PFC compatible UPS, etc.).
i got around 20 amd cards and not a single one makes a peep (excluding fan noise) i have about 5 nvidia cards and 2 have coil whine I NEED THE 490 ALREADY!!!
In 17 years of owning NVIDIA cards I have never had one produce any coil whine.
(Hercules GeForce2 MX, BFG GeForce4 MX 420, BFG FX 5900XT, BFG 7800 GS AGP, BFG 8800GTX OC2, EVGA GTX 570 HD 2.5GB, EVGA GTX 780 SC, ASUS GTX 970 STRIX, EVGA GTX Titan X SC, NVIDIA Titan X)
But I always buy quality power supplies.

Well balanced conclusion.I've heard coil whine once, ever. Could be some people are much more sensitive than others and at that point, it's not the companies fault to build to outliers.
Yeah I see it, I'll leave it as to not bury my shame.Well balanced conclusion.
You didnt even make your statement without error.
The squeak is probably from a bad fan bearing somewhere in your system. Coil whine is an extremely high-pitched audible whine. There is no better way to describe it. I'm sure you could find a video somewhere that caught it on a recording.forgive my ignorance.
could somebody define this "coil whine" ?
i've had a few computers over the years exhibit a weird "squeek" ritchety noise (very difficult to put into words but it seems like a noice a CPU would make when it "thinks" lol) when you do something and its quiet (like move the mouse) and i dont know wtf causes it. I've hd it happen when id o graphics intensive things and any small tests i did pointed to it being the GPU (8800 GTX at one point, a quado another time).
i feel perhaps it may be what is being spoken about here.

Had coil whine with my 390 on a corsair hx650, replaced with a rm 850i and the whine went away. Replaced the 390 with my 1080 and haven't heard a thing, card is so quiet and cool even under load.
