26. Q: Xiaomi Compact Hair Dryer H101 has a tail sound (voice) after switching off.
A: The tail sound is generated by the resonance between the impeller and the motor when the Xiaomi Compact Hair Dryer H101 is switched off.
Resonance refers to the phenomenon of an object making sound due to resonance. In the hair dryer, there is an intrinsic frequency of the impeller, the impeller rotates to produce wind when this intrinsic frequency and the actual rotating frequency of the impeller are close to or a multiple of the relationship. The resonance phenomenon will be generated, at this time, the frequency is called the resonance frequency.
In Hairdryer just after the beginning of power, the fan impeller speed rises rapidly, the rotating frequency quickly exceeds the impeller's intrinsic frequency and does not produce resonance. But when the hair dryer is switched off, after the power cut, the speed of the fan impeller relies on the wind resistance, the natural slow deceleration, in this deceleration process, the rotational frequency drops to and the impeller's intrinsic frequency close to the resonance phenomenon. There will be a resonance sound, which belongs to the normal situation, and can not be avoided.  
To make the tail sound more easily accepted by the human ear, the design of the resonance frequency of this sound has been designed to fall within the range of 500-1000KHz, which belongs to the comfort zone of the human ear and will not cause discomfort.
