Hey all,
I've adopted the ESP32 for one of my recent projects and am struggling to overcome an issue with audible noise from the ESP32 during wifi transmission. My prototype uses a MEMS microphone which is able to very audibly detect this noise. I have tried a number of different boards and ESP32 version (WROOM, WROVER, PICO) and the issues remain.
Here is a video I made of the issue.

Is there anyone else who has encountered this noise and figured out a solution?
Many thanks
Janak

Re: ESP32 Audible Noise on WiFi Transmit
Possibly this is because of any ceramic capacitors used on the board / in the module have a piezoelectric effect: they will flex a tiny little bit depending on the voltage applied to them, and if that voltage varies, they will produce some sound. I'm afraid I don't quite know a fix for this, although you could try to see if decoupling the 3.3V lines using some tantalum caps helps a bit.

Re: ESP32 Audible Noise on WiFi Transmit
Did you try disabling uart logging and see if that can cause this noise? I do not think that it's the wifi, that is causing the issue.
As you can see it varies by board design, so it's worth a shot checking these.

xSemaphoreTake(sCoffeeRdy, portMAX_DELAY);
