Re: Print fan wine noise at lower than full speed

There is an open pull request for this here https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/pull/1193
It sounds from the comments like it's not trivial to merge because going above 325hz affects the quality of the fan RPM measurement and might lead to issues detecting a stalled fan.

Maybe lowering the pwm would be another alternative? I think it would be less annoying if it was down in the 30-50hz range.
After I upgraded the extruder as part of my MMU 2.0 installation the fan PWM setting for PETG is unbearably loud, I never noticed it before the upgrade so I wonder if it purely a mechanical resonance difference or if the PWM got louder in firmware 3.5 too.

The link is nearly at the end of the discussion and titled "Firmware 3.5.1 with 1193 merge MK3.zip"

I just applied the updated firmware. The high pitched whine is gone, it is now a much more silent low-frequency rattling. Though I'm not sure if that might be a mechanical problem of the fan and not related to PWM at all.
