Hi,

I first thought one of my fans is acting up, but while mining in the background as I work from home. I noticed that when all sounds on my PC are off, when I open the Eve screen, I hear a weird sound (like a fan that is not working correctly, hard to explain a sound). When I minimize it, it is gone. It’s not hard, but when you notice it is a bit annoying.

When I open another game (world of warships) I don’t have it.

Is there anyone who has the same issue? Perhaps solved it.
