Hoping someone may have an answer to this. Its kind of an odd thing thats going on... To me anyway.
My dual 1.8 Power Mac G5 is making a weird chirping, screeching sound. I really cant explain it though. It happens at odd times and not often at all. Maybe 3 to 4 times, every few days maybe less. It's hard to tell where the noise is coming from though. Its starting to worry me a bit though. I'm not sure if its the hard drive or something else. I cant tell where exactly the noise comes from. I do know it comes from inside my G5 tower/box.
I thought maybe it was my printer making the noise so I turned off the printer. Then I thought it was still the printer so I completely unhooked the USB cables and kept it turned off, unplugged. It still did it. There are no other devices next to the G5 tower. So everything else has been ruled out.
I know it sounds weird. Just wondering if anyone else has heard of this or has had this happen to them and if anyone has a solution.
