High pitch whining

Anyone have any suggestions on how to cure this i tried disconnectin the 12volt connector and making sure all the pci cards and power connector were plugged fully and correctly but still the problem continues. The only other thing i havent done is flash the bios. The high whining sound occurs both in the bios and normal xp and continues untill i unplug the speakers turn them down or turn off the 3d button on my speakers(LEXPRO LS 820) and repeats the whining constantly. The 1st time i heard it was last nite and it has been doing it for the whole day. This in my mobo is new prob 2wks old does anyone whats the matter. I have the bios v. 5.1. that version came with the mobo i havent tried flashin to the new 5.2 version

hi
talk to the store and se if you can change it for another motherboard.
bye

High Pitched Whining Sound from Macbook

We bought the new 13" Aluminum Macbook today. In getting it set up there have been some periodic times where it started making a very high pitched whining sound that I could hear but my wife could not.
The ability to hear these high end sounds go away as you get older.
Just wondering if this will need to be repaired / returned ? What do we do. I can't stand it!!

Phil is right of course. You should send/take it back and get a new one.
Is the whine coming from the hard drive?
With the easy to replace hard drive in the new MacBook you can easily swap out the hard drive in your current unit with the new unit. That saves you reinstalling programs and transferring data. However with a whine I would be leery about keeping the same hard drive.

Satellite A660/15J High-Pitched Whining Noise

I have had a Satellite A660/15J for 3 months, running 64-bit Windows 7. The machine emits a constant high-pitched whining noise (rather like the sound emitted by early CRT television sets). The source of the noise appears to be the CPU (it is definitely not the cooling fan or the HDD). Is this a well-known problem? If so, how do I make it stop?

Since when do you notice this behavior?
I can only say that friend of me has Satellite A660 but without any strange noises. The notebook is quiet, only the fan makes some noises if its running.
For me it sounds like a hardware malfunction but before you contact an authorized service provider you can try to solve it yourself by updating the BIOS. This can be found on official Toshiba website.
If it doesnt help I would contact the ASP. The guys can answer you if its normal behavior or not.

When I access Wealth Engine X My computer makes a high pitch whining sound. Why ?

When I log in to this website My computer makes a high pitch whining sound.
I also have this problem when surfing on Auto Surf Pro; and recently, while the auto surf was running, My computer shut off its
power, and I had to run the repair diagnostic to get it to start again.
I also have this problem with Empower Network with regard to the videos on there; and some of the videos "get" an "unable to load plugin" message when I try to open them.

Sounds like the drive although I suppose it could be fans if something is wrong with them. when my fans go into high performance mode they do not make this kind of noise. Are you also noticing more vibration when this occurs to the left of the trackpad where the hard drive is? About the only thing you can do is take it into the Apple store and have them look at it.

Power Mac G4 MDD 1.25GHz DP often completely locks up in the first few minutes after booting, sometimes with the spinning beach ball, normally with a very high pitched whining noise.

Over the last few months my Mac has developed a worrying habit.
Within the first few minutes of starting it up (perhaps on average about 50% of the time) it will completely lock up. This may happen at the Log In screen (if I start up the Mac & then leave it for a while) or during normal use.
Often the first symptom is a very high pitched (but quiet) whining noise that seems to come from the loud speaker on the front of the Mac. The pointer may freeze at this point, or it may still be moveable for 5 or 10 seconds before it freezes. It sometimes turns into the spinning beach ball during this. Once locked up the only way I can restart the Mac is to hold down the power button on the front for a few seconds to completely reboot the machine.
Once the Mac has restarted, it usually behaves normally, almost always for the rest of the day. The initial lock up & resulting restart only normally seem to happen the first time I use the Mac that day.
The only peripherals attached to the Mac (apart from the display, keyboard & mouse) are an ADSL modem, a USB printer and a pair of Apple Pro speakers, and this setup hasn't changed since long before the problems started, so I'm confident that I can discount the peripherals causing problems. I doubt that unplugging the speakers, for example, would have any effect.
I've run Disc Utility, OnyX and DiscWarrior without anything major cropping up. My instincts (I've been troubleshooting Mac problems for 16 years) tell me that I have a fundamental hardware problem, possibly with one of the 4 RAM DIMMs installed.
The RAM configuration is shown in the attached screen grab.
I'm considering removing one DIMM, running with 1.5GB of RAM rather than 2GB for a while, and repeating with a different DIMM removed each time until I can hopefully isolate the dodgy DIMM.
Do people feel this is a sensible approach, or should I try something else first?
Many thanks.

Sometimes visual inpection will show bulging tops/sides., my guess is if it is it's most likely in the PSU.
Possible cheap fix, You can convert an ATX PSU for use on a G4...

High pitched whining from audio output..?

Hello all.
I record using my 2011 Macbook Pro 13" with 4gb Ram and an Mbox mini. I use Logic Pro 9 and sometimes Garageband.
Recently the audio out has NOT STOPPED WHINING. It's a high pitched noise that won't go away. It's the same from the headphone output so I know it's something internal. Does anybody have any fixes for this issue?
Many thanks
Tom

No one has any input? When I do a Google search, I find several other instances of this particular issue being reported on a variety of models. I just received my 2nd replacement in the mail today and while the noise is less noticeable, it is still there. Guess it is time to upgrade to one of the android phones they have listed.

High pitch/ whining noise

Hi All, my noise is related to screen brightness. I received my MBP 2.16 / 5th of March. I called AppleCare Germany now. They told me to bring in the MBP to a local service for repair. By locating the problem they asked me about various other "sounds"... most of them are related to the hardware and can be fixed only with new components. At least mine needs new circuits... let you know when back, it might take weeks until it will come back, after looking all "Discussions" here...

When posting in Apple Communties/Forums/Message Boards.......It would help us to know which Mac model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.

Hp 2310 monitor low volme high pitched sound - whining - low volume

My monitor makes a low volme high pitched sound
But only if I go above 1400 x 900 resolution.
Below that it is okay
2 years old.
Otherwise not a problem.
Brightness 45
Contrast 100
Backllight hours 12259

It's not totally unusual that as electronic circuits age a high pitch whine will develop depending on the monitor's settings. Additionally, some people's ears are more sensitive to higher frequencies. It happens.
======================
Is the monitor safe to use in the meantime while it whines? Sometimes I have to use the higher resolutions.
Right now, it is not a big deal. Since I use 1440x 900 and have it set to where there is no (or an imperceptible) whine [That can alter with brightness or contrast changes] , am I safe to use the monitor?
At 45 for brightness, and 100 for contrast, a 1440x900 resolution is okay - no noticeable noise.
Can safely run the monitor with the whine, on those occasions when I have to change the resolution.
At what point should I get a new monitor?
BTW: Changing Brightness and contrast can alter the whine, but what works for one resolution will not work for another.
So I leave the brightness and contrast alone, and tolerate the whine if I temporarily have to change resolutions for my graphics work.
Because if I reduce the whine on a higher resolution, it will screw up my 1440x900 resolution.
What causes this?

High pitched whine from netbook when power is plugged in. Does not charge when computer is on.

I have a specific power / charging issue On HP Mini Netbook 210-1077CA. Windows 7 starter ( I think)
With the computer OFF ...
When I plug in the power it gives a high pitched whine. Red battery light is on, showing it is charging. (computer is off.)
To test the computer I have turned in on after charging for a little while and the % of charge is increasing. Showing that it is charging properly.
HOWEVER,
With the computer ON
The battery light turns white and does not stay on, but flashes periodically. Its not a constant flash but a pause of several seconds between a series of flashes. The manual indicates a Flashing Battery light seems to indicate either going into a sleep mode because there is not enough battery power (however my power is at 14% normally this happens I think at 10%) OR as the manual indicates there is a problem with the battery.
I removed battery, removed power plug and then pushed power button holding for 15 seconds. No change in behaviour.
I also tried to boot the computer with just the power plug in and no battery. But it would not turn on. I don't know if that is normal or not?? Interestingly the White battery light, while trying to turn the computer on without the battery stayed white no flash. (but did not turn on either as I mentioned.)
I read a few posts that say that the whining are Capacitors doing some sort of harmonics. Although I have never heard this sound before.
Im sure that this problem is not fans or heat sinks etc. Since in only happens when the computer is off and charging. In my opinion its definitely electrical. The sound seems to be coming from the center of the netbook or the battery area..
So my conclusion is ...
1. Battery has problem and needs to be replace,
2. Maybe the AC adapter is bad, since it doesnt boot w/out battery (if it is suppose to ??) Also since it seems when I turn it on it goes from Red charging to white flashing as soon as it starts to boot. Could it be the AC adapter is not giving out enough power to charge and to boot at the same time.
Anyway can anyone help me on this issue. Im not sure whether to start by getting a new AC adapter or new battery. I would not like to buy new both and just throw money at it.
Maybe it is not either???
You help would be appreciated.
Regards.

I have resolved the problem.
I replaced the AC adapter. Everying works find now. I tested runing the computer without the battery, and it works. So I might add that a possible test for an adapter that is not functioning properly is to try running it w/out the battery. If it does not run its possible that the ac adapter does not work.
Thanks.

High pitched sounds

hello
a week ago i bought a new t61 and although i updated the aps-software, there is a high pitched noise every time i scroll down something and that really bothers me. when disabling aps it gets a little better. reboot sometimes solves this problem and its the same under linux (i'm using openSUSE 11.0)
the thing is that this sound appears when the hard disk is idle...generally i have no clue where this sound comes from
perhaps someone can help me with this problem
i'm not sure wheater its something due to software- or hardware-problems/defects
thanks for your posts

Hello,
simply use search function, type in: whining or beeping.
Some coils or the cpu are causing this phanomenon.
To disable c4 states in bios could help, using RMclock or NHC is a different
method to disable it.

Any reports of a high pitch whistling?

Hi,
I've just a new High Res 15.2" delivered.
I'm really pleased with the display, the new battery life, the keyboard etc but there is a constant high pitched whistling noise, I can't locate the exact position but it sounds like it's coming from behind the superdrive (again, I could be wrong).
Nothing seems to adjust the volume or pitch, it's just constant, from the instant the power is switched on.
The AC doesn't affect it, the screen brightness doesn't affect it, use of the HD doesn't affect it, it's just constantly there.
Any suggestions of what it might be, is it something we've seen as a group before?. I don't partcularly want to send my brand new PB back, then again, I don't want to get stuck with this, I think it would adversely affect my health (and sanity) if I was using it for 15 hours a day. Although as I'm typing this I've also just noticed it has that keyboard chirping problem. Why is powerbook quality so low, my old TiBook was brilliant, as was my 12" iBook. My last powerbook dropped to bits and this one hasn't even got through the first day.
Andrew

Hi Andrew, there are a lot of us experiencing the same problems as you. I have a 15" PowerBook and it makes loads of horrible noises and i wish i never bought it. A lot of the time i prefer to use my iMac because the PowerBook just annoys me to much.
I not sure about the whining sound but the chirping keys seems to be linked to the processor by all accounts. I get the chirping generally using Safari. A lot of these issues can normally be resolved by installing CHUD tools and in the procesor pane, disable the 'allow nap' option. But like me your probably thinking, i've just spent a small fortune, why should i?????
If i was in your position i would return the powerbook while you still can because Apple aftersales is a nightmare, I'd probably be inclined to sit on the cash and see how the intel macs pan out.
Also, i read the other day that theres news of a widescreen iBook on the horizon, powered by Intel so no doubt it will be much faster than our powerPC powerbooks and a lot cheaper.
Regards
Mike

IMac High Pitch Whine

Hey
I have this iMac that I've had since Oct last year. Recently I've noticed that it has a high pitch whine.
I can't figure out were about from the iMac it's coming from as when I get closer I start to hear fans (ear right next to it)
But maybe the top left corner.
I haven't used any fan control programs, and my temps and fans speed are all good by iStat.
I haven't got 10.5.2 but .1
I leave my mic off, brightness near all low, sound low unless listening to music.
Please help as my iMac is in my bedroom and I can hear this whine like a muted TV, but coming from my iMac
Thanks

I have the same problem and am trying to find a solution. I have an intel iMac Alum 20" 2.0ghz, 2gigs Ram, Radeon 2400XT, 250 Gig HD. The noise started after about three days of ownership. I have this for almost two weeks now. I cant find any solutions and have talked to Apple over the phone they suggested taking it to an Apple store and let them take a look at it, but I live an hour away from the nearest store, so this is a pain. But yes, the whining is annoying and loud at times. It whines for like 1-2 seconds going from a low pitch to a high pitch in those 2 seconds. It then stops and comes back maybe 20 seconds later. So thats been happening for about a weeek now.
Then all of a sudden early this morning (4AM), while the computer was in sleep mode, I was awakened by that same high pitched sound, but it wouldnt stop, I had to get up and turn the computer off. I would definatley love to get some answers and have this fixed. I've read many posts now with people having similar experiences. Just want my precious fixed.
Nothing has helped ie; turning the sound down, muting it, turning off my internal mic, messing with sound options.

T440s: Hissing, high pitched sound

Hi,
Some days ago I got my T440s equipped with a 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM and NVidia GPU. Unfortunately after running for some time (> 30min) a high pitched, hissing noise starts that's getting louder and louder the longer I've got the machine running to the extent that it gets very disturbing to say the least
The noise is coming approx. from the area of the trackpoint - and not, it's *not* the fan.
In the lenovo forums I've read some posts about "CPU whine" that according to the sound samples supplied with some posts sounds exactly like the problem I'm experiencing.
So here are my questions:
Anyone else having bought a T440s recently who's experiencing this problem?
Is there any known cure against this that solves the problem once and for all?
Any FRU parts that can be replaced?
Thanks much in advance for your help,
-ejleno

Hi,
As mentioned in my previous posting I did the checks as per the KB article:
CPU power management in BIOS OFF: no whining
CPU power management in BIOS OFF + USB Hub OFF: no whining
CPU power management in BIOS ON + USB Hub OFF: whining
In summary: as soon as I turn off CPU power management in BIOS the whining stops, independent of whether USB Hub is on or off.
So as a net result it definitely seems to be the "CPU whining" problem.
Which part should be replaced in the T440s in order to get rid of this whining problem once and for all? (Motherboard, CPU,...???)
Reason I'm asking: I'd like to point Lenovo service into the right direction in order for them to replace the correct part, as opposed to trying all sorts of things starting from power supply etc.
Thanks much in advance for your help,
-ejleno
Since my T440s is still under warranty (got in in October 2014) I think I should contact Lenovo service, right?
Should I point lenovo service to this discussion in the Lenovo forums?

Satellite P750-113 - Terrible high pitch whine

Hi forum,
I've recently purchased a Toshiba P750-113, and for the last few days have played games on the laptop, watched a few movies and all has gone well. Been a happy customer. Until recently that is.
Out of the blue, having about 4 days of usage out of the laptop, I boot up Windows 7 as usual to find a high pitch whistle sound, whining at me. Its a rather distinct sine noise, sounds electrical. I've checked the speakers, and the noise is not from coming from there. The noise is coming from underneath the laptop, specifically at the top left of the base (if sitting on my lap).. It's not pointing at the harddrive compartment or fans.
The noise begins only when the Windows login screen appears, and then continues to whistle away for the duration Windows 7 is open. The sound is not present while booting the machine, only when Windows has loaded.
There are a few power saving modes on my laptop, and if I use the Eco mode, the noise stops, in fact the laptop could be mistaken for being silent. In power saving mode, the noise is still present, but very not as frequent. I've tried running ati tool and prime95 in 'eco mode' to see if the sound level fluctuates at all - just to narrow down if it was the Cpu or Gpu, but there is no noise! So in Eco mode all is fine.
I wish I could cope with leaving Eco on all the time, but as you could imagine its not a mode used largely for gaming.
I've read through a few forums in dispair, to find a few people also have cpu noise, and theres mentioning of I5 processors in general omitting electrical noise.
Please suggest something! Thankyou.

Hi
I searched here in the forum for similar threads but it look like you are the first one who has mentioned such issue with the Bluetooth from my knowledge the Wlan chip provides the wireless and Bluetooth functionality.
Maybe there is something wrong with the Wlan card
Im not quite sure if this could help but try some common updates: try BIOS update, BT and Wlan update.
You could also try to test some settings; like disable the power saving for Wlan in Win7 Power Management. Well, in worst case the technician should take a test the hardware

High pitched and prone to breaking up phone calls via Continuity through iPhone 5s on computer end

On my Mid 2011 Mac mini running OS X 10.10, when I attempt to call someone through my iPhone 5s, the sound is extremely high pitched and prone to breaking up on my end. It sounds fine on the other end, when I use my iPad 2, and when I just call on my iPhone. Any idea why? Sound recording of my voicemail login prompt from my Mac: https://mega.co.nz/#!ocRWgLoD!P-Ps_mHRgXAag1jfaYPU2ZpGfECVP2YR9Z-E4G4Z4Sk

I'm experiencing the same issue between my 5s (8.0.2) and my late 2012 Mini (10.10). It reminds me of the kind of sounds you get with digital audio clocking issues between devices. I've scoured the internet, tried several different solutions, and nothing has worked yet.
