MBA (Early 2014) SSD Coil Whine


i'm having weird issue not many seem have (especially mbas, mbp retina users have reported while ago): when ssd being accessed (either writing or reading) can hear strange noise coming upper section of keyboard. @ first thought it's magsafe connector or motherboard, appears ssd. sounds hdd being accessed though ssd of course no moving parts.

have macbook air 13" 128 gb 2014 (refurbished) "apple ssd sd0128f" ssd appears sandisk. went 2 apple service provider said not unusual , if they'd replace ssd, sandisk 1 used again. if it's manufacturer (e.g. samsung ssds don't have this) i'm not able 1 of these.

here can hear recording. there 2 clicks in middle stopped , restarted blackmagic disk speed test. between 2 clicks can hear coil whine gone , background noise can heard. after 2nd click coil whine starts again.

recording: https://soundcloud.com/macusercom/macbook-air-ssd-coil-whine

normal? annoys me , don't know 2014 mba ssds incredible expensive , there no aftermarket solutions model :(
 

since you're first person i've heard complain ssd coil whine on forum have assume it's not common of ssds have shipped mbas. it's manufacturer irregularity 1 of analog components on ssd or how it's attached.

maybe service providers have seen coil whine before suspect that's due confirmation bias.

replacement ssd offer , if still have problem replacement can cross bridge when come it. should take small amount of time data, replace drive, , restore data.
