Kind of a picky thing but...

When I plug in my headphones into my MPB (just got it 4 days ago), and I don't have ANY audio/movies/no sounds playing, there's a really small/weird hum when the volume is kinda turned up. Does anyone else have this? Is there something wrong with my MBP?

I thought it was fine...but it might just be a small flaw. I have the same problem when using headphones with my iPod as well as using it with a Sony laptop. I would assume the sound is always present, just intensifying with increasing the volume. I asked the same question back when my laptop was just 4 months old, see:

I also found a couple of discussions which mention the noise, and also suggest it is a small flaw:

I agree that such problems should not exist on such an expensive laptop. You can probably schedule an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple store, where they might exchange it for another. If it's just a "kind of picky thing", then maybe you could just not worry about it. You may have different problem with an exchange. It doesn't bother me anymore, because it is soft and if I'm wearing headphones or have it plugged into speakers, I'm listening to music which overrides the sound. If you take it in and the Genius Bar tells you anything, post what they tell you so others with this problem can find help/answers.
