LOVE Tiger, but anybody else have new soft "beeps" now?

Tiger is lightning. I couldn't believe how fast I reboot.
I did the archive and install.

BUT... (ain't there always?) uhhh... anybody else hear a very soft, steady rhythmic "beeping" (almost like a countdown) inside their G5 (2.5 for me)?

I heard this "new" sound immediately when the mute went on the office TV (plus my G5 is right up on my desk). It's soft but can't say I care for it.

Again it's very steady, almost like a countdown. Can't hear it over much, but I sure don't like my office quiet (kids away, TV off) as it gets into my head.

10.4.5 did not fix the beeping on my system. i had to reinstall chud tools after a complete reinstall of everything. under 10.4.5 it was still chirping without installing chud.

I'm thoroughly discouraged after reading this ENTIRE thread--hoping that somewhere, someone had discovered the long-sought-after real fix.

Oh well. Installing CHUD now. Bummer.

Well--I just installed CHUD and unchecked "Allow Nap", and guess what happened? The chirping stopped...just before the fans kicked into high gear. So now I don't have chirping, I have loud fans. Awesome. So glad my $3000 Mac is so fine-tuned. This is a joke.

Apple, shame on you.

Wow, the gift that keeps on giving.

I started this thread, way back when, and kinda chuckled when I saw it rise again.

Here we are now, 10.4.6, and the beep just keeps going and going and going....

Man. How'd I get lucky. I've never had the chirping beeping sounds and only just found out that it exists. I've had my Dual 2.7 since the day it was issued.
