Loud cooling system (Fan Noise). If this is your first i7 laptop, they seem to be a little bit louder, and take some getting used to – there is a lot of computing power.

The issue is not the air movement sound equivalent to a form of pink noise but with the fan blade created variable pitch tones that seem to resonate outside the laptop at speeds above the minimum idle speed. Besides myself, there are several others on this thread that have reported the problem. I don't mind the usual air rushing noise (I have been living with fans in computers and electronics since 1967) but the variable pitch and its resonating harmonics are most anoying.
Also missing from your unicfication is the distortion in the speaker system. It is my understanding from a
Sony tech that Sony Engineering has a firmware upgrade for the Realtek chip to fix this issue.
I have also found out from insiders that Sony is aware of the Throttle Down issue of the I7 and are working on this. Probably due to their battery subroutines that have added to the Aptio BIOS. Just another software bug.
Thanks for pulling this together. I hope you maintain it and periodically publish it on this thread.
