[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1889894, member: 46727"] There are several long threads over at the MacRumors Forum about similiar noises that you're hearing. The swoosh noise sounds very much like "coil whine". Coil Whine is an electronic noise given off by certain components in computers. Most notably the Apple 16" MacBook Pro (not all of them) gives off a swooshing sound very similiar to what you're hearing. I've never heard of a Mac Mini giving off "coil whine" but I wouldn't rule that out either. If it is "coil whine", there isn't anything you can do about it. The sound circuits have no control over that. The only way to get rid of it is to get rid of the Mini or ignore the sound. [/QUOTE]
