Monitor High Pitch Noise - eviltoast

Just got a high refresh rate monitor (PG248QP) and it makes a high pitched noise when I set it to 500hz. Anyone else have this problem with this or other high refresh rate monitors?

    Yes. Turning down the refresh rate from 165 to 144 greatly reduced it.

    I thought it was because the display was factory overclocked and was meant to run at 144 in the first place

        It wasn’t set but it showed up as available when setting a frequency from the os. I just assumed it was an overclock since it uniquely made a noticeable noise and iirc the monitor was listed as 144hz when it was first listed pre launch
