This is really annoying, continuous static sounds are making me sick. it's not from the fan may be from the hdd. when i got nothing running still it has got this continuous sound. i know someone told me that laptop doesn't make more than this sound when it is under huge processing pressure. but when it has got nothing to do, this sound is unacceptable.

would it make any difference if i change the hdd from primary slot to secondary slot?

If you want to fix it, you could get an SSD hdd. they are silent...

Just to confirm this static sound does it come and go like a screeching banshee or is it constant? My old HDD after I punched it in a testosterone furied rage made a constant flick flick sound which was damn annoying.

If it is near the HDD just run a HDtune health check to see if you have some bad sectors. SSD is always a good choice if the HDD needs replacing.

I have realised now that the sound is not coming from hard drive, it's from the machine but definitely not from the fan as i can't feel any air coming out or going through. what else could cause this continuous sound.
Yiddo..it's constant sound. whenever fan triggers up i know its fan sound. what else is making this sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without seeing your laptop I have not got a clue could you record the sound if possible? use a mobile phone recorder not the laptop mic.

How do you describe static sound?

Didn't someone post a "fix your speakers" thread here that included a pic of a wire hanging in a fan that he found during dis-assembly?

I noticed it just browsing, no idea where....but if the OP thinks it's when the fans spin up...maybe?

That is true if it sounds like physical noise the wireless cables run across the right side fan if one is loose it could cause it.

Really difficult to diagnose without hearing it, have you disassembled recently?

Actually sound is coming from the electronics, its not physical. I have compare with other cheap laptop which is £299..those machines are running wothout any sounds but when my machine runs my room mate who is 10ft away can hrar the sound. This is mechanical sound. I have disassamled until i can get to hdd. I didnt see any fan.

I think the sound is from the cpu idle mode.. or atleast it emits a similar high pitched sound..
try cycling through battery and power mode to see if it affects the sound..

The only fix to this sound is disabling idle mode on the cpu but this causes it to idle hotter

Google "disable idle cpu sound" to get more info about it
