Same. I haven’t found much better. I always wonder how it doesn’t drive other people nuts.

The counterintuitive trick I've used for my 5900X is to increase the minimum fan speed up to around 60% or so. It makes the base volume very slightly higher, but avoids it constantly ramping up and down through the 50% zone which is what I found the most annoying/noticeable.
