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

I bought my Dual 2.5 G5 about 3 weeks ago... no problems at all. AFTER the Tiger upgrade.. the I also get the soft beeps.

Not the power supply, everything was great before... Tiger did something in the software that now causes these soft beeps. At greater volume with the power settings (CPU HIGH) and at a lower volume when set to "automatic".

the beeps are almost like a second hand on a clock, beep, beep, beep... at first I thought it was the dashboard clock.. but it appears like some other code causing it within the OS.

Installing CHUD may fix it... but this does look like something that needs to be patched and that can be fixed all in software on the next Tiger update.

Again.. NOT a powersupply, fan or other problem... just a little soft beep (only after a tiger install) coming from somewhere inside the computer.

I'm just posting to assure that it is a problem (to add my post here about it) and that I think a Tiger update can fix it... For the moment I can live with it.. but when it's very quiet... it can drive you crazy and you need to put on a radio or something.. haha

hope it gets fixed soon.

The only thing that makes me think it isn't the power supply is that it would have done it from day one when I bought the computer. But it has only started as soon as I installed Tiger. Strangest thing!

Hey Guys

I am looking to buy myself a DP 2.3 in the next few days... It will come with Tiger... am I to expect it to have this beeping too? ie do all G5 Towers with Tiger have this problem?

Thanks

Just another hand raised here. My PM 2.5 has the same rhythmic chirping, about once per second. Definitely audible above the regular fan noise. I hope this is a software fix...

I hope Apple looks inside the discussion boards.

And I hope more people will post here to show Apple, that the beep bep beep beep beep beep is really a problem.

Please fix it Apple.

It did not beep wit MacOS X 10.3.9!

Same for me. No bleeps whatsoever on Panther up to and including 10.3.9. Updated to Tiger and no I have the 1 second chirps/bleeps coming from my machine. Very annoying! Come on Apple, this is not good

I thought I was getting a squeaky fan until I read this and really took a good listen... Yep, definite beep there.

For me, it seems to be more than just running Tiger... cause i tried reverting to Panther after it started and the issue remains...

Well contrary to my first post in this topic my machine now shows signs of beeping as well. Luckily so far (touch wood) only at odd times usually early morning. I'm assuming though unless anyone has an explanation to the contrary the timing is just a coincidence.
I will await a fix with you guys.

Can a person get the new 2.3 or 2.7 AND not have it preloaded with Tiger? ie go with 10.3.9 till this is fixed? It seems from the posts that if you go to Tiger and then go back, the beeps are still there....

The newer models all have Tiger preloaded on them, Panther is not an option because it isn't even officially support on the newer models.

Thanks for the info. Do the new macs then come with the "beep" right out of the box? That should really be getting Apple's attention... ???

Thanks

Holy Thursday I believe you are correct. Seems like the exact description of the PUS problem others have had. Tiger just brought it out because it works differently than Panther did.

Pardon....that should read PSU not 'PUS' oops. If you have a PUS problem that is something different entirely!
