    Which beeps... motor or ESC?

    I am now convinced that it is the motor that beeps when first powering up a Multirotor..... and not the ESC.... So where is the beeping device hidden inside of the motor? Or are my ears misleading me?

    Motor RPM

    What would cause one motor out of a set of 6 to have a higher rpm than the remaining five? In this case all motors are brand new and being run up on a test bench with the same ESC, battery and speed controller etc. But one sounds much faster at full speed.
