Strange noise when Spark is on

Hi everyone!

Today I noticed a noise from the Spark when it's powered on.

It's not giving any warning in the app and all seems to be functional.

Has anyone ever noticed a similar thing?

Thanks!

Internal fan?

Could be. Could it be a sudden introduction to a cold temperature from inside?

I flew it inside today and I did not notice anything then...

It could be...anyway not sure if sounds like fan or like an electric noise similar to the caps noise on a pc power supply or vga for example.

The video was a bit whacky in the beginning... But after few secs it was okay and the noise was gone.

Maybe a bit condensation in the gimbal

And it's indeed something like that caps noise.

I think it is trying to dial up to the 56k internet access.

I had the same noise. It appeared to be the fan, hardly rotating. Things were getting very hot resulting in strange behavior like barometer giving up. Took out the fan and greased it. Problem solved.
