The noise is at the highest when the Forma is “thinking”, so I found that turning off wifi significantly reduces the noise. If the noise doesn’t get worse I think I’ll keep the device and just leave wifi turned off most of the time..
It is faulty, take it back. As you commented, no-one has mentioned it before. It shouldn't make a noise like that. Mine definitely doesn't and I do notice those sort of sounds more than most people around me.
