Reply to comment by Murky-Push3559 in ELI5: What is cool whine and how can it be decreased? by ghostfreckle611

>To reduce coil whine, it is important to ensure that components are properly secured and that the laptop is running at the manufacturer's recommended frequencies.

As a regular laptop-enjoyer, how exactly am I supposed to check that the components are properly secured?

There's really nothing you can do about it. It's based on build quality and the components the manufacturer chose. Some people have had luck by putting silicone sealant into the coils, this obviously voids your warranty.
