Somewhere between 11k and 12kHz for me; I'm 55 and have tinnitus. But it's wierd: if I let it go higher and pause I can tell that there's a difference in sound.

I'm no expert, though seems when the overall volume you can hear the tone at decreases drastically, this is your natural "limit" etc. I can hear 'something' higher than my limit, though it's not the full spectrum of the tone, just some faint very quiet shadow of it.

One good thing to look forward to when it comes to aging, not having to worry about coil whine!
I can't hear anything above 10K in that test.
Seems about the only advantage in being an old git!

I've known for a long time now that I cannot hear past 13khz. Which I assume was hearing damage that I wasn't aware of from late 90s of Motocross. I remember some local authorities up with SPL meters and other sound guns checking the sound levels of the track. Back then my Kawasaki KX 125 was clocking 95 - 97dB while some other bikes were hitting over 100dB. Now put 20 - 30 on normal practice days which were all two strokes buzzing about. Some 4 strokes were even louder but it was more of a deeper sound where the ground shakes instead of the high pitched tinny sounds of 2 strokes.
I remember some race events I was at late 90s and when I came home, it was like I was reliving the sound events in my head live. It lasted for hours when you've got race after race of 20 - 30 bikes all buzzing about for 3 - 5 hours. It was hard to get to sleep at night with it as sounded so clear after the events.

Which UPS did you use and did it fix your issue? I have wondered about giving one a try.

Cyberpower VP1600EILCD but I didn’t have coil whine.
Ok guys I've got to make a decision on mine, it is better on Cyberpunk but playing Control (120fps, Native 4K) today it still seems just above acceptable. What do you think? (I know there's only so much you can get from a youtube video). Worth a roll of the dice?

Well, I have kept the better of the 3 cards I have tried, but I am getting a 4th as the last attempt. If that's the same, then it's okay because the only way I hear the buzzing is if I turn down all volume on my TV and listen for it.Ok guys I've got to make a decision on mine, it is better on Cyberpunk but playing Control (120fps, Native 4K) today it still seems just above acceptable.

The only reason I am trying to find a better one is for resale....when that time comes.
I am also trying a 3rd PSU. My EVGA P6 and Corsair HXi are both made by Seasonic so I am trying a different brand just in case there is a connection and they are the cause.

Have you tried running a benchmark like Valley, for a few hours yet?
How does mine compare to your units? Especially the Suprims.
Done hours on 3D mark, couple on Cyberpunk 2077.

What FPS are you getting and gpu clock speed ? When it is doing the coil whine in control.

Hard to say, but they seem the same. The Tuf was a tiny bit worse.
From looking online, the cards that seem to have the worst feedback for coil whine are the FE/Suprim and Tuf.
That was at stock. 120 FPS DLSS quality RT Max. Native it is pretty much the same, at about 85fps IIRC.
If you've had two makes me think its riskier to swap for another Suprim in that case. The two 3080 Suprims were excellent acoustically last gen. I mean this isnt bad, but objectively in this aspect it is worse.

4090 at 1080P or 1440P is the only cause of coil whine if your PSU is solid and ATX 3.0 soec.
Coil whine in this case was because you are a stupid person who wastes GPU potential for high frames which give you nothing but coil whine.
This is akin to a 2080Ti user playing at 1440x900.
Yes high frames = coil whine.

This is all at 4k Native or DLSS highest quality.

PSU?
