[QUOTE="MacFlurrie, post: 1245316, member: 203287"] Hi! I bought an iMac last year which emitted that constant, "grumbling stomach"-type noise, even when I wasn't doing anything. (It also had a slightly yellowed screen, but that's another story). Putting something soft under the base didn't work, and even music couldn't always drown it out. I found the noise really irritating so I sent it back. Now that listenupsteve.com no longer exists, I have no clue where to check whether or not this issue has been addressed in the May 2011 release of the iMacs. I think Seagate drives were the biggest culprit noise-wise; are they still being used in this new update? And while we're at it, are yellow screens still an issue? Would love to hear feedback from anyone who's bought one of the new iMacs. Thanks! :) [/QUOTE]
