The latest one makes my MacBook Pro emit an extremely annoying high pitched noise when moving. I think it’s due to the high refresh frequency of the mouse versus more traditional ones.

It sounds like a squeaky wheel or a squealing (real, animal) mouse.

Other mice do not cause this problem. I mask it out with noise canceling headphones but I’d love a nice mouse that doesn’t cause this behavior. I’ve tried ferrite loops but they do nothing.

I have the same problem! What the hell is that? I've been mystified at that noise for ages.

Looks like a number of Logitech mice suffer from whine, though whether it's the same whine as parent is describing I do not know. Apparently caused by a poor choice of capacitor: https://jdc.koitsu.org/logitech/ (you'll have to scroll down a bit).

Oh huh, so it is the mouse... Thanks for the info!

Do you have an upgraded GPU? I think it’s the Radeon 560 in mine.

I have a desktop computer running Linux, I think the monitor is what's whining, but I'm not entirely sure.

You can turn down the polling rate of the mouse using the software.

[whalesalad]

Then the sensitivity goes down and you gotta compensate by increasing the sensitivity elsewhere. Can never get it quite right.

Does it really? It shouldn't but it could be flawed.

I imagine the poster is probably thinking of DPI rather than polling rate - two different things.
