[microsound] microsound Digest, Vol 3, Issue 16

[Graham Sutherland]

i've had the same problem. i am pretty sure it is actually within normal
specs. make sure you have the breathing mouth vent thing on the bottom
right of the computer not blocked, it might be somewhat controlled in
frequency of how many times you hear it by if your machine is overheating.
i still don't think most people have figured out how to get it to go away
though. it supposedly is how the drive just works that is why apple said
it is okay for it to make the sound. the drives "just do that" on the new
15 inch macs...

UGH...I STILL HATE IT THOUGH.
