Stepper Noise after Update to 2.1.0 RC2

Hello everyone. I updated my V-Core 3.1 500 to RatOS 2.1.0 RC2 a few days ago and so far everything looks good and feels nice. Except for the stepper noise, which has appeared after the update and wasn't audible before. I mean that melodic whining sound, you probably know what I mean. Didn't have that with 2.0.x and I can't figure out what setting to change to get rid of that noise. I don't mind a loud printer, but that high pitch tone is driving me nuts 😄 Thank you in advance for your help

Following, I have a similar issue. V-Core 3 300 coming from 2.0.x steppers were quiet but now after the 2.1 upgrade they emit are very high pitched sound when moving but also when they are engaged and stationary. @danielk have you solved this issue yet?

Unfortunately not, I double checked the config on all stepper related stuff but found no difference to the settings I had before. Also asked this question in a Facebook group and there was someone having the same issue too.

Same, I had archived everything off and confirmed the TMC2209 set up and voltages on the steppers and they looked the same. 😦 Bummer really. Its quite loud. I am rocking the LDO-42STH48-2504AC and the SKR Pro v1.2. Not sure if you have a similar setup.

Exactly. I also have the same LDO motors, only a different board (Octopus 1.1 F446). Didn't find anything online regarding that issue except for the stealthchop option. When I activate stealthchop, the noise is gone, obviously, but I haven't had it activated before in 2.0.x and don't want to sacrifice precision and torque for silence 😄 Any luck yet with solving the issue?

Nope. Hoping someone else might be able to resolve the issue. I have been printing with it the way it is and man its disruptive.

Just got this today updating. Octopus v1.1 F446 and same LDO-42STH48-2504AC steppers. Both Z and AB Also, z is higher pitch than before. Amp change maybe? Realtime analysis is also showing higher amplitude in z signal at idle stealthchop_threshold: 0.1 works for shutting them up while idle. hopefully wont fuck anything. Did you ever solve it?
