Squealing Surface Book 3 video

Hello! Can anyone tell me what the squealing noise is when I run Crystaldiskmark on my Surface book 3. As you can hear in the video its quite loud and directly related to read activity (quieter on write but still there) on the SSD (indeed the sound dips with activity dips on the task manager trace). This is the 2nd replacement SB3 I've had having returned my first with a green screen line, received a replacement that really squealed (sent back) and this is the one received today. There is a quiet same noise related to disk read/write when you put your ear to the bottom right of the screen. No difference if unplugged or speakers disabled.

That's coil whine by the sounds of it maybe the power delivery to the ssd on the motherboard is designed badly if it's happened with multiple surface books.
