o yeah one more thing i just checked the activity monitor and the
flash player (safari internet plug-in) %cpu is 68.1 i think that might be making it hot then again last time i checked it was was doing 36.1 and was still making noise and hot

I am having the exact same problem. I don't know exactly when I updated to 10.6.1, but I've started having the problem this weekend.

At first, I thought maybe something had been knocked loose, but my MBP never leaves my desk, I don't even ever touch it since I use an external keyboard/mouse

It first started when I was playing World of Warcraft. I stopped playing shortly after and shut it down for the night. The following morning, it was doing exactly the same thing while I was just watching a DVD

It's really annoying, especially considering it used to be real quiet

NumberSix try installing snow leopard again went to apple store 2day and they told me to reinstall snow leopard and see if the fan noise goes down and they told me because off the new os 10.6 its using its cpu power like crazy and i was like what by watching utube videos lol so i made an appointment on wed to see them o yeah 1 more thing 2day it seems to be a bit quite now and the cpu% 25 for flash player (safari internet plug in)
but i still can hear the noise of the fan will let u guys no what happens or if i can get the noise to stop i will let u no for now am not gonna reinstall snow leopard unless the the heat comes back up or the noise goes up again like crazy
