HP Recommended
Product: ZBook G5

I've got a new ZBook 15 G5 and I am finding that when the fans are off that it is making a permanent low level "digital" noise.  I'm not too sure how to describe it but it sounds a little like the noise an old 56k modem would make when connecting to the internet but very quiet. It sounds as if you can "hear" the processor working on a task.  I find this very distracting and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this sound? It seems to be coming from the rear of the laptop underneath the speaker bar. This is the second Zbook I've had after having to RMA the first one for turning itself in to a brick. So far I'm pretty unimpressed.

Can anyone tell me if this is an issue they have seen (or heard) before? Do I need to send it back again?
