GRUB makes high pitched noise....forever

Whenever I get into grub it makes a high pitched mosquito-ringtone type noise. The type that your parents are supposed to be unable to hear. When I first installed Ubuntu 3 years ago, it did the same thing, but it stopped after 2-3 seconds. Now, in Arch and Ubuntu (32 and 64bit) it just keeps going forever until I boot. I have tested it until I had to start an OS or risk a migraine.
Does anyone else get this? The problem has followed me across 3 computers, and others in my family have heard it too, so it isn't just me or my machine.
[off-topic]Where would this go in the Arch Support section? It's not the Kernel....and it isn't Arch specific[/off-topic]

One was a P4M 1.8Ghz, another was a P4 1.2Ghz, and this one is a Core 2 Quad 3.0Ghz.

Time capsule makes high pitch noise then shuts down

Time capsule makes high pitches noise then shuts down

Unfortunately, this is the sound of the high voltage capacitors in the main power supply failing. It will not be long until the Time Capsule makes no sound.
If the Time Capsule in warranty, Apple will replace it. If you have AppleCare in effect on one of your Macs, the Time Capsule might be covered as well if it is not more than 3 years old.
Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one near you....to discuss your options.
Or, contact Apple Support directly.

If the Time Capsule is out of warranty, Apple will not offer repairs, but there are some shops that will repair the device for you. See this link for more details:

My I phone charger is really hot, and can make high pitch noises is this normal?

My iphone is getting really hot and it is starting to worry me is it meant to do that?

No, not normal at all.
Do you have another charger you can try?
If not, I would recommend you make an appointment at an Apple store and bring your phone & its charger in to be examined and to determine if they need to be replaced.

Do all x201s make a high pitched noise?

I really like my x201, which I have owned for 2 days. I really cannot stand the sound of it though, it makes a really high pitched noise (think dentist drill), not really loudly, but enough to drill into my head. I have found a solution, run it at the slowest speed or wear headphones while using it. Neither are particularly appealing.
My question to you, owners of x201s, does your model do this as well? Please state your CPU type and model number.
CPU: Core i5, M540
Type: 3249 A25 (on the tag next to the serial number)

ok. i fixed it. full speed, no noise. adaptive speed, no noise.
of course, a BIOS update cured it. why did i not try this first. old bios was 1.17, updating to 1.31 was the cure.

Time Capsule Makes a High PItched Noise.

This morning I found that my Time Capsule has started making a high pitched noise. That is really annoying and concerning.
any thoughts?

Same thing happened to me just now. Sounded like air escaping from balloon through a small hole.
I unplugged the TC and waited for a few minutes. Plugged it back in and it simply did it again.
I had a steady amber light come on, but after about 30 seconds, the TC would shut off.

High pitch noise in CS4 and CS5.5

Hello.
Firstly I want to say that yes I know people have asked this question before but as far as I can tell none of them have been solved. Some have somewhat useful answers but none of them truely solve the problem. This thread in particular probably has the most information about the problem I'm having http://forums.adobe.com/message/4298535#4298535
I recently tried Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS4 (trial version) to replace my Corel Video Studio X6 which tried to replace Windows Movie Maker. Video Studio and Movie Maker both crash whenever I imported large video files.
Anyway I'm getting a problem where the video files I import to Premiere Pro CS4 and CS5.5 have a high pitch noise in the video preview.
It's a high pitch noise almost like it's getting feedback from something. Also when someone is supposed to be talking there's a very low distortion, like the audio started playing in very slow motion but the high pitch noise is still present.
I'll put a link at the end with the video file that's giving me trouble.
The video and audio are in a single AVI file. The video format is H264 shot at 60fps and the audio should be Mpeg-1 L2, 48khz at 320kbps. I don't know if the video's audio is in 24bit or 16bit.
I've tried different settings for premiere. Trying 60fps and 30fps for the framerate for the project. Trying 44khz and 32khz and 96khz didn't fix it. Using the "Desktop" preset in CS4 and Custom for CS5.5.
My audio hardware is a Logitech G930. It's a wireless USB headset with microphone. My motherboard audio is Realtek HD Audio. Both are enabled but I only use the headset now and nothing is being sent to the Realtek audio chip (according to Windows' sound options). The headset plays audio at 16bit 48khz.
The video file plays fine in every media program I own that can play the h264 codec. With the exception of Movie Maker and Video Studio x6. Video Studio will preview the video and audio just fine but when I try and skip around the program hangs and crashes. Movie Maker just plain crashes when I try and import the video. Some of the programs that can play the video are VLC, Media Player 11, and Media Player Classic.
I'm not sure if Final Cut Pro has the same problem. I don't have a Mac so I can't test it.
Here's a sample video that works the way it should. I pulled a BIK file from a game and converted it to H264 in AVI. Not sure what it's audio format is.

Just click the download button at the top right.
Here's an afflicted file. Not the exact specific file I have been talking about, but it has the same codecs. This one is shorter in length and smaller in size. It still has the high pitch noise, but since there is no one talking in this you don't hear the weird low pitch distortions.

Since Yosemite upgrade, high pitch noise creating case vibration on MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) (on watching the keynote online)

Hi,
Great work on Yosemite, great new design as well.
Several problems since the Yosemite upgrade though :
    - When playing high pitch noise (watching the keynote for example), the speakers make the case around it vibrate. This was not happening under Mavericks and previous OSXs.
    - This page (post editing) does not allow the right click (works everywhere else as far as I'm aware).
    - when changing the volume, I have now the noise feedback when clicking on shift+volume up/down and no sound when clicking on volume up/down on my keyboard (was the inverse before).
    - The keyboard light was stuck in off, had to restart the computer.
More general problems (covering the last OSX since introduction of 10.9) :
    - lack of possibility of choosing for a 3x3 set of desktops as it was before (the new mission control only allow us to have a horizontal set of several desktops)
    - Notifications cannot be turned off automatically when being in full screen. (only options for auto turn off given are "display is sleeping" oO and when "mirroring on another display" -> meh, would have prefer when having an app in full screen)
System :
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009)
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,3
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Memory: 8 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

On my iphone 4s I got a scratch on it,then about a month later there are verticle lines and a high pitch noise til it is done focusing. What's wrong with my phone?

Hello
Okay so I have had my Iphone for almost an entire year and there's a problem. I have gotten a scratch a scratch about a month ago on the back camera. It's at the very bottom. I've gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me. Well ever since like a week ago my camera gets colorful lines that are verticle and go away when it's focused. Not to mention the high pitch noise while it focuses with the lines. I'm getting irritated with it. Mainly what's is wrong with my phone?! Also how much is the cost?

Since we can't examine your phone, we really have no idea what is wrong. Why don't you make an appointment at your local Genius Bar and get the phone examined and what your options are moving forward.

EMac high pitched noise

Hi. I have a 1GHZ eMac G4 that I got second hand several months ago. Recently, I've noticed that there is a high pitch noise that it makes when I first turn it on or wake it from sleep. This noise only lasts for a minute or so, but it is very high in pitch. I don't think it is the hard drive because I know what a failing hard drive sounds like, but I can't be sure. Could it possibly be a capacitor problem? Does anyone know of this issue and how I could get it resolved? Thanks.

X-fi Extreme Music - Mouse making high pitched noise when moved

? Whenever I move my mouse my headphones make a very high pitched noise. I moved my mouse to all usb ports and it still happens, cant change my IRQ in bios and vista has them all locked out from being changed. I also have my X-fi as far away as possible from my video card. I have no idea whats doing this but i need some help.
Specs are as follows
P5Q-PRO
Q6600 @ 3.48GHZ
4GB Mushkin @ 078
X-fi Extreme Music ***Lastest [email protected]

I've never had pictures of the mod, as it is it wouldn't show up vey well in a photograph, not to mention that every front panel board is different from one manufacturer to another. Mine came with my Gigabyte Aurora case, but Gigabyte probably didn't manufacture the circuit board itself.
I had the noise problem when I first tried out my new Bose headphones with it and knew I needed to fix it. The main issue is the metal mounting studs that attach the board to the case front cause a ground loop with the grounds coming in from the sound card, as well as the motherboard USB headers. Having all these grounds just connected together like that is the root of the problem. By far the worst issue is the studs being connected to the foils on the board. Scraping the foil off the board where it makes contact with the studs will probably fix most of the noise. Next, cutting a gap in the foils between the incoming grounds from the sound card and USB headers will clean up more noise. If properly done, and all plugs removed from their headers, there will be an OPEN connection between any one ground wire and another, as well as there will be an OPEN between the chassis (case) and any of the ground wires. The ground wires coming from the headers should show a good connection to their appropriate socket ground on the front panel, but again, an OPEN between each other.

Power adapter making a high pitched noise

Hi,
I was wondering if it is normal for my power adapter to be making a high pitched noise constantly. The noise stops or lessens very briefly when the computer is doing something (i.e. switching web pages) but, otherwise, it is constant. It is a really annoying high pitched whine. If this is not normal, what can I do about it. Do I need another one? Will Applecare cover it? Thanks!

Whereas I am not sure if this is normal, I figured I'd add that I see a similar problem happening on my power adapter.
I noticed on mine that it only makes the sound when the magsafe LED is green, if it's charging the battery it does not happen.
This started only about 2 weeks ago.

WRT330N High Pitched Noise

Hey everyone,
I just today recieved my WRT330N Gaming Router from Newegg and ever since I hooked it up I am hearing a VERY high pitched noise constantly coming from the router. I've even tested putting my ear up to it and unplugging it to make sure it was the router that was causing the problem. Everything else on the router works great but this noise is really starting to annoy me! Before I purchased this router I had a WRT54GS and never had a problem with it.
I've tried searching to see if anyone else has experienced this but have come up empty handed. Should I exchange this one for a new one, or get my money back? Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
Thank you.

@ Klatch
I tried all of your suggestions previously but they didn't work. I ended up sending it back to Newegg today for replacement. I'm REALLY hoping it was just a problem with that specific unit because if it's not I'll have to return it for my money back. The noise was just so bad...

Satellite U500 - High pitched noise

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite U500 and the system itself seems to be working perfectly well. About a month ago, my laptop began to make a noise, an unbearable constant high pitched noise. The only time that the noise stops is when the laptop is off and for a very brief period when windows starts up.
The noise seems to come from the speakers, but it continues whether I mute the speakers or not*.

Hi
> How to disconnect HDD to check what you suggest.
You can only remove it from the HDD bay the HDD bay is placed at the bottom of the unit and you have to remove the screw which secures the HDD bay cover.
Then you could remove the HDD carefully
But without HDD you are not able to boot into windows and as you already said you have discovered the issue. It seems to come from the speakers and its related to sound card.
Maybe you should update the sound card driver and BIOS
Otherwisce try to get in contact with an local ASP!!!
