Swapped my monitor arm for a cheap VESA stand and the noise is gone

I got a secondhand monitor arm that had a faint hum, so I grabbed a $25 VESA stand from Amazon as a quick fix. Turns out the solid base completely killed the vibration noise I didn't even know was stressing me out. Has anyone else fixed a weird desk problem with a super simple swap?

Actually, that hum was probably coil whine from the monitor itself.

60Hz fixed it on mine too, lower pitch is easier to ignore lol.

Ever try turning the refresh rate down? That fixed it for my old monitor.
