Do the new Macbooks still make the CPU buzzing noise?

If anyone here has purchased the new SR Macbook can you please update us on whether or not it produces the cpu buzzing noise (cpu whine) when idle?

Thanks.

I guess you're right..

But this noise is very annoying and I want to know if there is a point in going to the apple store and complaining.

If you own a Macbook C2D can you please let me know if your Macbook makes a buzzing noise when idle? Just wondering how many are affected.

I don't notice it. Sure, if I put my ear right up against the computer I can hear it a little bit, otherwise, it is not audible.

Just got one. What am I listening for? I'm sitting in my office and the machine is perfectly silent....

It's a high pitched buzzing sound, happens when your computer is idle.

nah, it's not making any sound at all.

I am in a super quiet library and I cannot hear mine. I put my ear up to it and it is very faint. I think it would be the fan. I would also go get it looked at.

I'm going to the Apple store tomorrow and I'll see what they say. Mine is definitely not faint and can be heard from 3 feet away easily.

I have a different problem right now. My iSight comes on when I boot up sometimes. The green light that is next to it comes on right away and when I run photobooth it is just a green screen. I need to find time to take it to the apple store.

No buzzing noise here. Like others said, I can only hear the fan and the optical drive, otherwise it's completely silent.

My Macbook has started to buzz a little this one is exactly a month old. Heres a VIDEO of it.

DO you know how fast it is spinning? If it is above ~4K RPMs then that is normal.

how do i find out the speed that it is spinning? This noise only started tonight it's starting to bug me abit.

This is a different sound.

Mine makes the buzz too, but its rather a static electricity like noise. And when you start doing any task, it goes away.

I have my macbook purchased on September 15th, just a month before the Santa Rosa came out. Mine made the noise I think from day one. You can hear it from beneath the "w" key. Its like something is cooking inside.... quite annoying. Let me know if Apple takes care of this.
Thanks

Mine is under the W key too even now when i've just booted up and gone on safari it buzzes a little sometimes it can be really loud. It only started last night i got mine 18th October. I don't know if it is worth me booking it in at the Apple store or not since i can't be without my macbook since I'm at college and my PC is dead as a dodo. So if i took it in i would want it to be replaced rather than been taken in for a week or so to be repaired, asking for a replacement seems like a tall order but then again its a month and a day old. Do you think i should take it in i know Apple tends to be hit and miss, this one is a replacement from when my previous Macbook died on me.

On the phone 15 minute phone queue to Apple support least they are playing good music Bob Marley roots, rock reggie.....

You at least have that, in Hungary we dont have Apple care, so my only option is to take it to an Authorized reseller. I dont want to do that however, until I hear from somebody whats Apple's view on this issue.

If you get a response, please post back,

Thanks

Just finished talking to them, first of all i would have to take it in to confirm that it is making the noise then it would need to be booked in for repairs, all of which would take sometime and thats time that i can't be without my macbook so i'm going to have to live with it.

That is what I was expecting. I will take it in a month or two before my Warranty expires, so that I can have it looked at if it still makes the noise. Unfortunately as Apple isnt present here, we need to trust the Authorized Resellers with their job.

Cheers
