I experience the following with my notebook (P4 1.6, Intel 845MP chipset, ati M7, brand compaq, model evo n800)
In certain circumstances noises are emitted, not from HD, fans or speakers. So I'm wondering what could be causing them (as there are no other moving parts). The noises occur when:
*processor is under full load: fairly high-pitched, but varying with what gets displayed on screen, sometimes ceasing briefly.
*viewing sites with java applets: high-pitched sound, very annoying
*running acrobat.exe: lower pitched, buzzing
Intensity lowers when running on battery. Noise stops when clicking on exit cross and holding button down. Restarts when releasing (without closing the window).
That's it. I'm puzzled. Everyone is surprised. Let me know if you have the same issue or know the answer!
Oh yeah, and the fan, when it's on, has some sort of rythm to it, but that's a different issue.
