During the recent operational phase OP2.1 at the optimized stellarator Wendelstein 7-X in Greifswald, Germany, a large variety of mode activity in a broad frequency range from about 1-1000 kHz has been observed. This work provides an overview of measurements, which are partly accompanied by theoretical calculations. The focus lays on Alfvénic activity around 200 kHz and potentially fast ion driven modes in plasmas heated by neutral beam injection or ion cyclotron resonance heating. Additionally observations of trapped electron modes are discussed. Mode activity around 10-50 kHz, which is specifically observed in higher beta plasmas, is related to theoretically predicted kinetic ballooning modes and finally low frequency island localized modes around 1 kHz are investigated. Both last aspects might have impact on confinement properties in future highest beta plasmas.
