Hi everyone,

Two days ago I got my Nvidia Shield Tablet from overclockers and everything was fine but last night I have noticed that there is some buzzing sound coming out of a speaker. After quick googling I found that many people are having this issue(although some people don't). It is very noticeable in quiet environment and especially when you load some "heavy" games. So I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue ?

I really like the tablet, but this buzzing is driving me mad and it looks like replacing the tablet will not solve the issue.
 
I've never noticed it on mine, so if you can get a replacement you may get one without the problem?

Have you installed the latest firmware?

Yes, I got the latest 2.2.1 (Android 5.0.1) update.
I can get over the noise, considering that I'm playing games with sound, so I don't hear that buzzing, but I'm more worried if this will affect the lifespan of a tablet.
 
You said the buzz is coming from the speaker? There's suppose to be a natural sorta buzz / electric shock noise coming from the CPU/GPU which becomes more apparent the more it's taxed but I'm not sure if that is the same problem as yours.
