Buzzing sound from iPad A16

Hey. Two weeks ago I bought a IPad A16 brand new. I used it a couple days, but then I started to hear a really high pitch buzzing/beeping sound from the power button area. I returned the iPad and then bought the same ipad at another store. The same problem was with this one. I am so disappointed as I assume that my products will come in perfect condition and especially not making any sounds. Again, both the iPads was brand new. Anyone know the problem? Is it a software problem or not?

iPad, iPadOS 26

With that I cannot offer advice other than yoh seek assistance, as suggested, from an Apple technician.

Unless you are very young, with perfect hearing that still extends into the high audio frequency range (12-20kHz), relatively few adults will still be able to clearly perceive this frequency range. The ability to hear very high audio frequencies rapidly diminishes with age.

Try purchasing another iPad at an official Apple Store. While in-store, unpack and setup the iPad - and ensure that the iPad is fault-free.

If you detect a problem, you will be able to demonstrate the problem to the in-store Apple technicians.

Thank you. The latest iPad I bought was at an official Apple Store. The problem is that the sound is so high pitch I doubt anyone would hear the sound inside of a shopping center. Thanks!
