I solved the pitch noise problem:

I added this "processor.max_cstate=2" option to the kernel in the
boot file managed by grub (see below, red)

This way I think the battery life is shorter but, since I am 99% of my time
plugged to power, I cannot be bothered and, if I ever need more battery, I
will edit grub on the fly and remove that option...

It's GOOD, because I will have to spend many hours on fedora the next days...
