PS4 Pro Coil Whine while turned off

I'm aware of the common issue of coil whine from the fans when playing a game, but my PS4 Pro is doing this weird tinnitus like sound when it is turned off...

Before returning it I want to get some impressions from other ps4 pro owners.
My console did it only recently and it is an intermitent thing. Sometimes turning the console on then off fix the issue. It's a big issue because I sleep in the same room as the PS4 and it can be a very irritating sound. On the oither hand, I don't want to deal with the hassle of returning the console to Amazon, transfering and setting up the new PS4 and playing the PS4 Pro lottery again...

Here you can hear the high pitched noise

My launch PS4 has a similar coil wine and I can even hear it when I'm in bed trying to sleep. I just assumed it's normal. Haven't had any problems with it so far.
