IPad Pro 2018 - weird sounds

Lately I've noticed that my iPad Pro 2018 model started to make this strange buzzing/crackling sound however the sound is very minimal so I don't mind it. But I'm concerned for the health of this device and was wondering if this will become a problem in the future where this iPad will not be usable. I'm not really interested in getting it checked (don't really know how to) so a direct answer would be much appreciated.

Thanks

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hi chahhny, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


Can we go through a process of elimination by firstly updating to the most recent iPadOS which is 15.2.1 (if not done already) and the following link will explain how to do this in more detail:

Then can you please do a Force Restart on your iPad and the following link will explain how to do this in more detail:

If neither of those have resolved your issue please look at the following link as it has some other suggests to resolve your sound issue:
