Irritating High frequency sound.

Its the same sort of sound you get out of a bad electrolytic capacitor in a RLC circuit when the inductor is off phase or the electrolyte in the capacitor is boiling off.

It kicks in like a laptop fan, so im guessing its the effect of some program/s or subroutines either causing some oscillation in a component or random noise to the speakers or amp gain. Im hoping it is the speakers, so the hardware isnt under stress, but i still hate the sound. 

I know it's been reported by others, i was wondering if we knew the exact source, whether it could be addressed, and also whether it is OS specific.

=============
P.S. i know we're all used to electronic noise, idle speakers, old chargers especially. But for a phone you regularly hold close to your head or other body parts, we really should get it addressed and not just accept it.

I can only add a +1 on this one,  I received the Pinephone PostmarkedOS version, and it's the first thing that I experienced.

High pitch sound and some white noise sound coming out from the back of the phone.

I can reproduce when I go in settings / sound settings.

And that high pitch sound stay there a few seconds even after I close the settings software
