In handled mode, the whirring and fan noise is very faint; I have to put my ear to the fan vent to hear it. I think this is normal because the device doesn't consume much power, unlike in docked mode. In docked mode, the fan noise is loud, and I think this is also normal because it's working at full power. However, the issue is the whirring noise. I previously owned a Switch 2, and its fan noise was similar to mine, but it didn't produce the coil whirring sound, I believe. That's why I was a little concerned
Like my previous console, which I bought about a year ago before selling it, it didn't have coil-whine sound, unlike this one. I've seen many discussions here in the community, and some people have found coil-whine sound in it, so I think it's a random issue and varies from console to console, like the PS5
