It's hard to imagine that an ECU could make much noise at all. Unless it has an electric cooling fan, there are virtually no moving parts at all. Why should an integrated circuit flowing with a few electrons create any kind of audible noise to be heard? I can see why a Diode would make noise and in some alternators they do. I have seen relays make noise and they are mechanical and electrical. But I have never seen a computer chip make any kind of noise unless it were an electric cooling fan right next to it.
I had all kinds of cars in the past that made all kinds of different noises at different times. I never obsessed over it so long as the thing ran fine. I would just ignore the noises or cover it up with music from the stereo.
