For whatever reason, if I use qwen3.5-122b-a10b-mtp on my laptop, it sounds like a mouse squeaking away

@RichardoC@infosec.exchange that's the voltage regulators / coils / caps in the power supply circuitry! LLMs and other ML tasks put a very weird cyclic load on the GPU/CPU, causing them to vibrate in the kilohertz range, which you can hear as squeaks of sorts
