Faint whistling sound while browsing?

#1 Post by WA2SI » Mon Nov 21, 2011 6:35 am

It's almost like a very low birds chirping like sound as my cursor moves from link to link. It does not always happen. Anybody experience anything like this? The machine is a W520. Thanks in advance,

Bert

Is it some high pitch electronic noise...?

From my limited experience, in most cases it's harmless, and it proves that your hearing ability is still good. :) Although once I had the PSU of a LCD monitor replaced (under warranty) because it's kind of loud and was bugging me.

Cheers.

Ok, I guess I can chalk this one up to normal happenstance as opposed to a malfunctioning soundcard. A tad annoying on a high-end laptop but I'm wearing a set of cans (headphones) 99% of the time anyway.
