Default 2013 RX450h strange noise issue

Hi everybody! New happy owner of a used 2013 RX450h here. Very happy about the vehicle so far. There's one thing that I've noticed on it though and it's been driving me a little bit crazy

When the RIGHT turn light is on, there is a very high-pitched noise ~10-12Khz
(based on this audio test here
) that happens simultaneously with periods when the light is ON. It does not happen every time though, but approximately 25% of the time.

Does this found familiar to anyone?

Thanks,
-Andrei

No clue, you'll have to go to the dealer.

Yeah, they thought it was likely a singing capacitor on that circuit and are going to take care of it. The car is still on warranty

Yep, the test confirmed it. I have the same noise in my car, I just can't hear it. Too old, too much loud rock'n'roll.
