Sharing ipad via cable results in buzzing noise every 30 seconds

I recently upgraded to a 5th generation iPad Pro. When I have my iPad Pro connected to my MacBook Pro and during a Zoom meeting if I select share ipad via cable, there is a loud buzzing noise that happens every 30 seconds that all participants can hear. If I remove the cable and choose share ipad via airplay, there is no buzzing sound. 

 

This behavior is something new with the 5th generation iPad. If I connect my 3rd generation iPad Pro (same configuration, IOS version, and apps as the 5th generation) and choose share iPad via cable, there is no buzzing sound.

 

I have the lastest IOS versions on my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro and the latest version of Zoom.

 

Is anyone else having this problem? I have contacted Apple support several times and after trying many things, they say contact Zoom of course. I have an appointment at the Apple genius bar later today to have the look at it.

    Hi everyone, until a Mac software update is released to fix this issue, I would suggest one of these two options that some have shared in this thread 🙂

    • Share the iPad via airplay.
    • Join the iPad to the meeting using the Zoom iOS client and share directly from the iPad.

    In actual live Zoom meetings, that is!

    Well, now that we have ipados 16.3, has anyone checked to see if we're still "buzz-free?"

    Checked for Buzzing in Zoom, QuickTime and Screenflow. No iPad buzzing on any of those programs.
