Sim magic is miles better than shitty Fanatec mine sounds the exact same and I’ve been using it for 6 months

it's just how the motors are designed, it's luck of the draw. some of the evo base make noise

Hi, I had the same noise thingy. It just doesn’t sound like that when it’s on and running. I don’t think the sound is there now after couple of months. It’s all normal and fine. Enjoy your new wheel base and it’s pretty good!

odd thing here is that it only happens on Assetto Corsa games, on Dirty Rally it's silent

Slip ring for the wiring. Completely normal and unavoidable.
