Static/Buzzing Noise when using Unreal Engine 5

[itye1970]

When I’m using the editor and click in the viewport I get a buzzing/static noise, Ive tried re-installing and same issue, I have noticed this with the 5.01 version. I have also tried opening a new project and same issue. Seems to be a bug in the software. I have a RTX2080ti and this doesn’t happen on any other other software just Unreal Engine 5. I also downloaded Unreal Engine 4.27 and no buzzing noise was heard in that version

I have the same issue with UE5 only when I play a project in PIE and with 4.27 on a 3080ti, buzzing noise only with UE. Tried games, other software, it’s just UE that causes this.

Checked voltage and they are within normal parameters. I also stress tested the card but no noise. I also run UE4 with a project in PIE in the background with UE4 using full performance (strangely enough no whining then), while rendering an image on blender cycles and running the RDR2 benchmark and no noise.

I can make the noise happen when running UE4 and when I expand and collapse the menus on HWinfo lol.

And here is the kicker, after the above test, I closed everything and just left UE 4.27. It stopped making noises. Have been working all day under heavy load and that made it stop.

Here is a screenshot with all the above and the card didn’t break a sweat. Only the UE makes that card whine.

The internet consensus is that it’s coil whine. Nothing dangerous. Make of it what you will though.

Persistent audio buzzing/static sound when using Unreal Engine 5

Whenever I’m in Unreal Engine 5, I always hear this buzzing sound in the background, regardless of what I’m doing. It even occurs when the audio is muted. It’s a pretty subtle sound, but it’s very annoying. I’m still pretty new to Unreal, so I don’t know what audio settings I can change that will potentially resolve this issue. I’m on an Apple M1 Max running the latest version of MacOS Monterey. Again, all you need to do to reproduce this issue is to run Unreal. It’s a pretty subtle sound, but…

Its so annoying, somebody said that monitor difference ( 60hz) and card big rendering hz difference make this coli whine, I hear same in Twinmotion and UE5 but when I switch to browser or something else even when i open plugin toolbar it stops it is just noise when I am in active view… its almost 2025…

t.maxfps 30 it helped a little by fixing fps, looks like too strong gpu for monitor 60 hz

Push
Same with me. I disabled all fans to be sure the electrical noise is coming from Mainboard/GPU.
I played around with Display Hz but nothing changed.

Its really hard to concentrate with that buzzer in your head

Same here, all versions of 5 that I have used.
Only program to this, does not matter what else is running.
Kicks off when the program is minimized.
Not working with any audio, all shut off.
Both GTX 3090 & GTX 4090 do this.

The Only working solution is to drop all Projekt settings FPS to max of 30 and go for low scaling.
