Gladius II Origin RGB-lighting causes high pitched noise

Hello, I bought a Gladius II Origin the other day, but quickly noticed that it makes a very high pitched noise when the RGB-lighting is turned on. With the lights off it's silent.

I thought that I maybe just got a bad unit, but the second one I received made the same noise. Armoury says that the firmware is up to date and I already tried restarting the PC, using different USB-Ports (front and back) and tested it on a different PC, but it still persists.

Do all Gladius II Origin make this noise? It's very high pitched, so I imagine not everybody is able to hear it, but I have pretty good ears and can hear it when it's just sitting on my desk.

Any help and suggestions are appreciated 🙂

It's probably coil whine. I have a Gladius II Origin too and I noticed it very early on. Coil whine is relatively normal with modern electronics, as it's just the sound of electric currents.
