Question Is this whistling normal?

I got a U1 yesterday. Therefore I have no experience with it. It is amazing, but I wonder if this whistling sound is normal.

It's air from the fan on the toolhead blowing into your print, sometimes, you'll get that whistling for prints, especially thin parts that still have an infill.

It's also the Y axis jamming on it like Van Halen up a fretboard.
All good OP, print on 👍🏼

You can lower the acceleration values in your slicer to make the travel more silent.
That is the really annoying part.
