When lights on keyboard is on it's have high-frequency noise. The noise is gone if lights is off. Connecting USB devices reduce noise but do not remove it completely. Is there a way to remove it without connecting USB? I quite need those ligths but this sound is really annoying. Notebook HP Victus 16-e0078ur (4E1L0EA).

Interesting problem -looking in various blogs, you're certainly not alone, apparently.
One suggestion to try: choose the white light option if you can with brightness down.
You may want to read this related HP Forum discussion thread: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/high-frequency-noise-problem-w..., where the keyboard noise is described as, and I quote:
"Unfortunately, the "high-frequency noise problem" you are referring to is coil whine - a PC user's biggest nightmare.
This is a result of a lack of quality control of the motherboards in the HP Spectre x360. I have already witnessed and experienced several motherboard failures. The coil whine may be related to the PSU - however we can't be sure."
The response goes on advising the user to contact HP support.
