[QUOTE="stevolution, post: 1114088, member: 35916"] I'm certainly not going to be opening a brand new imac to have a look at the fans. I left it unplugged for a while and turned it back on, still the same old noise. The only thing i can describe it sounding like is when you go into a jungle/rain forest and theres loads of bugs making their noises. Cicadas etc. Its kind of high pitched but not ear piercingly. Taking it back to the store is a mission but guess i have no alternative. I'll try and book an appointment now. I'd also like to add, that i just now altered the minimum fan control speed with smc fan control and i heard each one of the three fans increase in speed, however the noise was not affected. Could it be the HDD? [/QUOTE]
