Old thread but totally agree!!! It's so high pitched. I really hope they fix it.

anyone have a solution to this? my unit is brand new and also makes a very high pitched sound when testing. the numbers have been consistent but this sound is hard to deal with

I reached out to support and they had me upload an audio. This was the reply:

@techhnyne Thanks for uploading the video with sound. It's so high pitched that many people probably can't hear that frequency, as someone previously commented. But for us with good hearing, it's terribly annoying! I'm thinking of putting my trident in some sort of box with sound proofing, but I'm not sure if the lack of fresh air would affect the tests. Can anyone who understands the science chime in here?
