Anyone hear an annoying electronic mosquito-like whine @ left hinge area? Not the whirring of fans which is pleasant and rare. Random (plugged in,on battery, at start-up, hours after start-up, fans off ) Is that normal? Anyone hear an annoying electronic mosquito-like whine @ left hinge area?

I think it's when the keyboard backlight is on. Goes off when I turn the backlight off.

The keyboard back light gives off that sound when at max brightness. Turn it off and get back to me if that worked.

I hear it also. It doesn't happen as often for me. It's probably just some coil whine and should be fine.

Haven't heard that particular noise, might as well though since I have to unplug the iron and plug it back in every few minutes because the automatic cut off keeps shutting down the iron. I have lost all faith in Rowenta and I use to be a BIG fan.

Know what I will have to look at mine. I simlpy haven't paid attention to that. Now I have a question for you. Do you know how to make it stop beeping all the time when there is nothing wrong? Perhaps the room temp is going outside of the perameters established. hahaha. I'll get back with you asap,Steph

Yes it has been fixed at least in the one I bought. No whine or any noise for that matter, sometimes I wonder if the fan even works. This is truly the best power supply I have ever owned and it is extremely efficient. I noticed a 32Watt drop in power usage after in installing it. Migrated from a PC-Power & Cooling PS measured by Kill-A-Watt.

If you use the sleep mode it is a low hum but I usually can't tell it's on. On regular mode just sounds like a fan.

Mine does this too, I was told that the fan is turning on and for some reason it is surging. It only does this when in standby mode, does yours do it when in use as well or just stand by?

I have the larger model. I have cooked White and GABA brown on this. It is not very loud. There is a low hum while it is cooking/prepping from the internal fan, which sounds like my laptop when it isn't working very hard.If yours sounds like a grinding noise I would suspect that either something is in your fan causing it to grind, or you otherwise have a faulty fan. I don't think there are other components in there which are capable of making loud noises. Unless there is some process of induction cooking for which I am unaware that might cause this.

No I have not heard it, mine is silent, though I have yet to use it for long periods. I don't think it's normal, but if it still does what it says on the pack it's ok. If it's not broken don't fix it!

I've no idea if it's normal, but I doubt it. We just hear the fan, with volume directly relative to speed it's running. Nothing electrical buzzing at all.

I only had this problem on my first two start up.The fan was very loud, not sure what the problem was.but now i had the laptop for about 2 weeks now it seem like the fan has quite down.

Yes. I think it is normal. Mine does the same thing. Unfortunately the manual doesn't bother to mention it.

My first one had a very loud motor whine, so I exchanged it and the second was the same way! NOT relaxing. I read earlier reviews and found this to be a major complaint.

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly!I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before.If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

I have not had that occur. I wish I could tell you more about what is causing that noise. It might have done so, but I had mine installed by a professional and I was not there for the testing. I have not had a power failure so it has not had to kick in either, so I haven't heard it in operation.

I have a unit which makes a noise like a normal fan would make. It does not make loud unexpected noise. There is a compressor unit in it like the one freeze and that has its own noise Apart from that I am not sure what kind of noise you are getting. Thanks

nvm, i kinda see what you mean now, i switched from extra performace mode to battery saving mode the fan started running really loud.
