My ac infinity fans are EC motor and they whine at certain speeds, im gonna test bigger carbon filter cause i was using smaller one which had capacity to level 5/10. As i tried restricting airflow by bending duct attached only whine also showed. Maybe thats your case ? I use EU converter for them. So we are in this together

Edit OK i saw that you have whine without anything attached. It can be unblanaced blades or something. If u are gonna use it still, try to isolate duct from the fan - something rubbery attached to duct etc to dampen vibrations (whining can be low frequency)
