Or, with less filtering, the noise can easily be "amplified" by the derivative component in the PID motor torque controller, causing audible (and tactile) humming/buzzing. +There is also apparently a somewhat common issue with the internal ADC locking up, requiring a device reset (see datasheet section 5.6). From a random sample of 4 Adafruit breakout boards, 2 of them (50%) appear to be extremely prone to this - locking up within a minute or so of use! Further testing is planned, but this may be a deal-breaker. + As of 2022-02-08, there is limited availability of this IC.
