In ²⁸Si/SiGe spin qubits with micromagnets, the longitudinal stray field gradient transduces charge noise into qubit frequency noise and limits coherence. We compare two neighboring qubits in the same device with 800 ppm residual ²⁹Si, one near a decoherence sweet spot where the gradient is locally minimized and the other at a position with a larger gradient. At the sweet spot, T₂^* reaches 67 μs and the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill coherence time reaches 4.6 ms, whereas T₂^* is 5.2 μs at the neighboring qubit. Near 1 Hz, the frequency noise power spectral density at the sweet spot is nearly two orders of magnitude lower than at the neighboring qubit. The magnitude and low-frequency decay of the residual spectrum are compatible with the prediction for ²⁹Si nuclear spin noise, and the weak interqubit correlation indicates that local noise becomes important for dephasing at the sweet spot. Despite a finite correlation with the charge sensor, sweet-spot operation strongly reduced the transduction of charge noise, bringing the residual frequency noise close to the level predicted for ²⁹Si nuclear spin fluctuations.
