Posted this in a thread seperate from the one about installing Catalyst 7.2 as they are different topics:

I have run into a rather odd situation. While I can only really hear this when I am in a near-silent room, when i use the touchpad or the pointing stick while my wireless is on i can hear a faint buzzing. It happens only when i use either one. As soon as I lift my finger off the touchpad or from the pointing stick the buzzing stops. it is extremely faint and again I reiterate that you can only hear it in a near-silent room. While it does not bug me very much, it is something I was just curious if anyone else has this same issue and found a way around it other than disabling the wireless.

hi have the same problem here. Only way to do resolve this problem is to disable cpu power management problem in the bios or via the power management panel in advanced options. Hope this helps.

Hey can you try putting your system on standby and see if your unit emits a high pitched sound from the bottom? Mine does, and I'm wondering if the two sounds are related. Thanks in adavance.
