Laptop squealing/chirping noise

My product number is E1P05AV. I've had this laptop for almost a year now and have had the hard drive replaced because I thought that it was the cause of this sound. As of right now I have an ssd, so I know that it is not the culprit. I've done some research and came to three possible things that it could be. This is in order of what I think is the most likely cause.
1. A coil whine in the psu
2. Something wrong with the gpu
3. Something wrong with the fan
Here are some conditions for the noise:
It happens when scrolling in web pages or dragging and highlighting on the desktop. It also happens when the laptop is loading something. I have concluded that the sound does not come from the speakers whatsoever. The noise is constant when it occurs.
I hope that someone could shed some light on this subject and help me come to a conclusion.
Thanks in advance.

  • Chirping Noise from Hard Drive Causing iMac to Freeze Up!

    Hope someone can give me some pointers to figure this one out!
    The computer will begin making high-pitch, squeaky chirping noises from the upper left corner (near the hard drive I think):
    http://homepage.mac.com/adamntaya/.cv/adamntaya/Sites/.Public/Chirping%20Noise.m p3-zip.zip
    Then after a while it will totally freeze up and I have to reboot. It is happening more and more frequently. Already tried doing a Hardware Test, with good results. Already tried downloading MacJanitor. Already tried a PRAM Reset. Nothing has helped the problem yet.
    What can I try?
    iMac G5 20" 1.8 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   160MB HD, 1G Memory (1st Gen)

    I had this exact problem, (exactly the same sound) with an eMac I had about a year ago. Our situations were the same, and after many calls and hours talking to Apple I got wound up getting a new iMac to replace to eMac, just paying the difference. They first wanted to take the computer in, which is what will happen when you call, but I would say that you would like to have a new one sent to you, as I assume you ordered it offline. Your problem and the one that I had seem to be quite rare, but nonetheless you should get a new computer.

  • Nokia DT-901 chirping noise 24/7

    Is it normal that DT-901 wireless charger makes chirping noise all the time, even without phone on the charging plate? Noise comes from the power supply (Nokia AC-301E), not from the plate. The noise is not loud but I have good hearing so it gets annoying after awhile. And the advantages of wireless charging are lost when I must unplug the power supply when not in use.
    I recorded a sound clip so you can listen how it sounds: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wpylcbocjtoj3w/DT-901.mp3?dl=0

    MV78 is looking for someone which a Nokia DT-901 which does not chirp, because he then takes the hurdle to exchange his Nokia AC-301E. The (global or his local) Product Manager for the Nokia DT-901 would be stupid to answer, if this is not a general issue – he would just increase the return-rate of his own product. My Nokia AC-301E chirps as well, therefore, I cannot add anything to this thread. farby or jimmyireland, do you have a Nokia DT-901 and does it not chirp?

  • IMac 24 makes a chirping noise

    My iMac 24 (2008) makes a loud chirping noise, usually when switching apps, or when doing certain operations within an app such as iTunes, Photoshop, Safari, Firefox, Aperture, etc.
    For example, this recording was made when I switched from Firefox to iTunes and opening the store: http://bit.ly/iChirp
    It made this sound for a few minutes before I started recording.  This is an internal sound, not a sound from the speakers.
    What's wrong? Can it be fixed?

    Your iMac should not chirp like any kind of bird?
    Call your local Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider today and schedule an apointment to have it checked out.

  • MacBook Pro making chirping noises

    Hello all,
    Recently my 15" Macbook pro has been making some strange noises when I put it into sleep mode.
    If I either close the lid of my Macbook, keave it too long so auto sleep kicks in or press the 'off' button then select 'sleep' the Macbook will start making a chirping noise. This noise seems to come from the hard drive (I know it's coming from the right side of the track pad). The Macbook then will not wake up, I am forced to hold the power button until it force shuts down.
    I took it into the Genius bar and they ran diagnostic and disk utility tests over and over again until they came to the verdict that my Mac's hard drive was running perfectly. They asked me to back up my data and come back in to have it wiped and Lion re-installed. I haven't managed to go back yet and whenever I try to use TimeMachine to backup my data there is an unspecified error. I can't imagine how a software reinstallation could fix what seems to be a hard ware problem?
    I was able to keep using my Mac (with the aid of 'Caffine' to stop it from sleeping) until recently. I use a Mac adapter (miniport) plugged into a normal VGA cord to watch movies from my Mac on my Panasonic Viera TV. Whenever I plugged in the mini port the Mac aspect ratio would change (I had it to 'mirror image', not a custom ratio) and when it was unplugged it would change back. However recently, when my Mac starts up it was in the aspect ratio as if I had it plugged in to the TV, the ratio would change back just before the login screen would come up. I took no notice of this as it didn't affect the Mac's performance. Only two days ago, when I started up my Mac a white screen came up. The white screen was in the VGA aspect ratio and was followed by a few 'chirps'. Now my Mac will stay at that screen and will not load. I cannot seem to use any of the recovery start ups or safety start ups.
    I am planning on taking it back in to the genius bar but if anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

    That's what I'm starting to resign myself to I was hoping to find a fix without paying tons of money!

  • T60p - Chirping noise with CPU power management

    I've bought a T60p which produces a chirping noise when running on battery. The high frequency noise is disturbing when working with the device, especially in silent surroundings.
    I've already contacted the Lenovo Support and they advised me to turn off CPU power management in the BIOS which indeed removes the noise. However, the cost is a significantly reduced battery time.
    First the Lenovo guys offered me a high capacity battery to compensate the shorter run time but then they refused and stated that my computer "works as designed" and that "Lenovo doesn't accept warranty".
    I can't believe that this is true. IBM and the ThinkPads have been recognized for their excellent quality and customer service for many years. That's why I bought a TP despite it was way more expensive than other Notebooks. Is Lenovo really not interested in keeping the excellent reputation that IBM formerly had? I'd be very interested in a statement of a Lenovo official on this issue...

    > every CD/C2D processor makes this noise regardless of notebook manufacturer.
    Nope, not every. There are C2D ThinkPads and other manufacturer notebooks without this defect. Sometimes noise level is higher, sometimes lower, sometimes completely silent if you are lucky enough...
    amaso, I have the same problem on my brand new T60p, and found a better solution. Try to download RMClock and disable PopUp mode in CPU advanced settings. This eliminated the noise for me and power management still is working.

  • "Chirping" noise every 3-5 seconds

    Starting two days ago, a strange chirping sound seems to be coming from my iMac at 3-5 second intervals. I checked the HDD diagnostics and it appears to be functioning correctly (according to DiskWarrior). I know this is a very general issue, but any suggestions as to what it may be? Is it something I should have looked at?

    Azeroth, I know what you are talking about. It's a repetitive clinking/chirping sound caused by the hard drive head parking whilst idle (power saving). I didn't have it with my former MBP/Fujitsu 7200, but my new MBP (Hitachi 7200) was driving me nuts with this sound. Plus it wears the hard drive out, ironically.
    There is no way to fix this through System Preferences. Unchecking "Put the hard disks to sleep when possible" has no effect, nor does pushing the slider to never sleep.
    The fix is unfortunately a little long winded but it works, and I'm ecstatic. Here it is:
    Hard drive behaviour must be modified at a lower level, i.e. power management.
    hdapm is the answer.
    1) Enable root user: Open Directory Utility located in Application » Utilities. You may have to unlock Directory Utility to make changes. Once it's unlocked, go to Edit » Enable Root User, and then type in a password for your root user. Now logout and there will be an option for Other user. Log in as "root" and use your root user password.
    2) Create usr/local/bin folder :
    /usr/local/bin doesn't exist by default. You have to create it.
    To create the folder (if it doesn't exist already) and open a Finder window:
    In the terminal... (Utilities/Terminal) enter these 3 commands in succession
    sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
    cd /usr/local/bin
    open .
    3) Download hdapm, a command line utility for hard drive power management, here: http://mckinlay.net.nz/hdapm/
    4) Drag and drop hdapm executable into usr/local/bin and hdam.plist into Library/LaunchDaemons (to enable hdapm to run at every startup)
    Reboot. Your hard drive is now running at maximum power settings.
    FIXED! NO MORE CLINKING/CHIRPING NOISES
    Disable root user

  • Chirping noise on Mac Mini problem

    Mac Mini makes chirping noise-stops when top icons selected
    New Mac user here, upgraded to Leopard but problem also occurred under Tiger -- Problem: periodically (no apparent reason), while browsing with either Safari or Firefox, Mac mini starts making a chirping noise -- chirping will stop under a few conditions -- e.g., if icon on top (i.e., Bluetooth, Wireless, speaker, etc) is selected) -- chirping will resume when mouse is brought back down on desktop -- eventually closing browser or some other action will stop the chirping -- doesn't "appear" to me to be hardware as indicated in other previous posts --- anybody have any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance --

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    While it hasn't been reported very often at all, this 'chirping' has cropped up a couple of times with new minis, though there has not been any apparent cause or cure that I recall being discussed.
    First thing to do is test to see if this is drive related. I would download a copy of MenuMeters (http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/) and set it to display at least the disk activity and paging indicators (the latter in the memory tab). Watch to see if the chirping is then associated with disk read or write activity. If it is, then you may have a drive problem, and at the very least should ensure that you take regular backups, or indeed have the system examined with a view to possibly replacing the drive.
    If the chirping is not associated with disk activity, then it becomes rather harder to pin-point, but if the system is still under warranty, I'd be inclined to have Apple, or an authorized service provider, look at it. If not under warranty but you have an Apple store in your area, you could take it in to have a 'genius' look at it, though beware that in the bustle of a retail store, noises may be harder to hear of course.

  • Envy 7640 makes chirping noise, as does replacement

    Sorry for the RANT!
    Bought Envy 7640 and noticed audible chirping noise from power unit. Researched forums etc and found it is a common problem. Contacted HP support (very hard to find) and spent hour explaining to agent including links to forums/youtube of noise etc etc.
    No problem he says - send you a new power unit
    Are you sure as this doesnt appear to solve the problem say I
    Oh yes says agent this will work.
    Complete new printer arrives and problem is exactly the same.
    I now have to waste more time getting UPS to pick up a second printer - what a complete and utter waste of my time and HP money
    Dont see i have a choice but to take the printer back to the shop and buy another brand, cancel the ink package and start again.
    Can i find the support contact details again - can i ****
    Unless anyone can help me on this forum i will NEVER EVER go near another HP product as long as my arse points the floor

  • Envy 7640 printer chirping noise

    My new printer makes a regular, quiet chirping noise when idle.  It chirps about every 10 seconds.  When I print something it seems to stop for a while.  But it always returns.  Kinda driving me crazy.
    Thanks for your help.

    Please contact HP Support and request a new power supply. The power supply is customer replaceable and can be easily removed by one screw.

  • Soft Chirping noise 3-5 times per second

    I've had my Macbook since 2009, and since this morning it's been making a chirping noise, possibly from the optical disk drive, roughly 4 times per second. It stops for about a second every 10 minutes, but other than that it has been repetitively chirping all day. I haven't dropped it or anything like that. Please help!

    take it in for service.  It is very difficult to diagnose a sound without having the mac present.  That's like someone asking "my car is making a chirping noise, what's wrong?" without the car infront of the mechanic (just making this comparison because I was a mechanic and people would call us on the phone and ask questions like that) it's difficult to tell.  It could be anything..and needs to be diagnosed properly in person.

  • Random chirping noise???

    Every time I select a song, playlist, device, etc. there is a random chirping noise that comes through my speakers. does anyone else have this problem? it's really annoying.

    Nope that doesn't work as when you close and open iTunes up again it will reinstall the file.
    delete the file then right click in a blank area in the folder then click New -> Text Document' to create a new text document. Rename this to axloadcomplete.wav NOT axloadcomplete.wav.txt.
    If you cant see the .wav on the end or .txt then you will need to enable extensions.
    go to Control panel and double click 'Folder options' then click on the 'view' tab and un-tick 'Hide extensions for known types' check box

  • "Chirping" Noise and Sleep problem

    My 1st gen IMac G5 has been making some "chirping noises"for the last six months. They seem to be coming from the lower left quadrant of the monitor. They really get busy when the computer is starting up from being shut down. I am hoping this isn't a hard drive issue, as I have already had one replaced after a failure.
    I also have a problem with putting the computer to sleep. I usually have to sleep it twice for it to stay asleep. Then when I check it again the next day, sometimes it is awake. It wakes up to my login screen and I have no screen saver for that one.
    I would appreciate any input regarding these issues.
    Thanks, Bob Bullock

    I have no idea what could be causing the "chirping" sound as you are starting up from a shutdown unless there is a cricket inside your computer that doesn't like cold bootups.
    Since you mentioned a previous HD issue, see if you qualify for the iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues

  • Chirping Noise

    My iPod touch is making chirping noises every once in a while. Is this the new mail alert, perhaps? Or is it somethiing else?
    Dan

    Same here. Turns out it is the mail notification sound (took me a while to figure out what was going on, and it drove me nuts).
    Alas, you cannot turn it off under 2.0 that I can tell. Under the previous version there was a separate setting for each app under sounds. Now there is just On or Off.
