Can someone tell me what the mechanical function of an Asic miner that causes the high pitch sound? Is there any way to make it quiet - perhaps some lube?

5000+ RPM is going to be loud.

The only way to make those asic miners real quite is use immersion cooling with thermally conductive dielectric liquid ( mineral oil / Novec™ 7100 Engineered Fluid or something simillar )

Let's look more deeply into ASIC hardware.

Inside there is more chip when chip working, they produce heat and how the ASIC manufacture anticipate way to reduce heat? then each chip fitted

heatsink and the heatsink attracts heat from the chip, and the heat in the heatsink is pulled out/inside by the fan (example fan S9:2x 12038 fans; Front fan: 6000rpm, Rear fan: 4300rpm).

So, the fan is what makes the noise

This pretty much sums it up, ASICs are designed for maximum performance so they need maximum airflow to cool the unit. When designing them they do so for large industrial miners who will install 100's or 1000's of them in a data center type of environments where noise is not an issue, they do not take into consideration the home miner who is looking at putting a few in their basement, or heaven forbid their bedroom.

of course. I have some ASIC, and I interest to try this:

When you immerse the miner in oil do you remove the fan or just slow it down or do you just immerse the heatsink?

I can't tell if you are referring to the fan's noise because you said "high pitch".
Usually, what's noisy with ASICs are the Fans especially S4 and above, but that isn't high pitched noise. (Something like ZzZuuu~.....)

If it is really a high pitch sound, some transformers somehow emit that and most human ears can't hear it.
So basically, that sound should have came from the ASIC's Powersupply if it was really high pitched.

When you immerse the miner in oil do you remove the fan or just slow it down or do you just immerse the heatsink?
The fans should be removed.
It will remove the noise but that's a meticulous job. Also not recommended for hot places.

ASICs are not meant for home use. It's best placed in an industrial setting like a warehouse or empty building.
If you want to silence them at home, you will need to build silencers. A common silencer used for bitmain's ASICs is a colemon cooler. Just google and you will find guides.
