Roku TV high pitched screech noise

Was there ever a firm solution to this? I’m having the exact same issue. Brand new 50" Class Select Series 4K Smart RokuTV. Same exact high pitched noise that only starts when the tv itself is turned...

    Hi RokuElmer-H! 

    The problem began the first day I received the TV and set it up (last Thursday). The TV only makes the noise when it is turned off—not when any of the channels or Home Screen are on. And I haven’t made any changes to the default settings since setting it up. As far as I know, everything is still on the default settings (aside from connecting to WiFi, logging into my Roku account, and downloading my channels/apps). Nothing is plugged into the TV except the power cord it came with.

    Fwiw, my TV is mounted to a wall, but it sounds like the pulsing, high pitched noise is coming from the back of the TV right at the center-bottom (behind the word “Roku” on the TV itself). Once I turn on the TV, the noise stops. And after turning the TV off, the noise doesn’t start until about 10 minutes of having it completely off. The software is up to date (currently version 12.5.0).

    Happy to provide whatever additional info you need! Thanks!

      I’m having the same experience as Harrison, also a 50” Select Series 4K. Installed last night, no settings changed, no devices plugged in. Software version 12.5.0 build 5101-ET
