rckrz6 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The router has developed high pitch noises or coil whine type noise depending on wifi load. It was dead quiet up til today no matter the load. My R7000 did the same thing so im not worried about it just looking to see if other units are doing the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tai N Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Does it make a ceek ceek noise? That's what happens to mine too under some heavy load, but when I have my headset on since I'm kind of a crazy gamer guy, I don't hear it, but mine is not loud. It just makes a deep ceek noise.

It can seemingly start randomly on particular devices, and while I've never heard of it happening to a Netduma R1 I'm not overly surprised. It shouldn't be anything to worry about unless it's really loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be anything to worry about unless it's really loud! The R7000 suffered from it, luckily I have reached the age where I cant hear that frequency any more. Its odd though that it just started, as normally coil whine is there from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
