I'm getting a very faint but high pitched and painful noise when I have atom connected and Studio One loaded.  When I close studio one it goes away.  I also have the atom sq and am not having this problem.  

While keeping the atom plugged in, I've removed atom from my external devices, and it goes away.  When I add it back to my external devices, the noise returns.

I haven't had this problem until recently and I think after the latest updates.  I've ensured everything is updated in universal control.

Please advise, I'm not able to work with the atom until this is resolved.

I also have this problem. I can usually get it to go away by not monitoring the output of the instrument using the ATOM, but it's not a very good REAL fix.

My Atom controller does this as well.  It seems to be something to do with the LED colors.  When the pads are lit up white the noise is at its loudest, when the pads change color it is a bit less loud.  Very disappointed in the Atom controller because of this.
