Noise when scrolling!

A sound you only hear as you scroll, moreso on graphically intense pages? Doesn't matter what the volume on your computer is set to? If yes, then it sounds like it could be capacitor whine. Not really sure how to fix that, as it's a physical issue with a capacitor on your logic board. My old laptop had/still has that problem, but that company (not Apple) wouldn't cover it under warranty.

It's not dangerous, and likely it won't get any worse, but if you're like me, it'll probably annoy you for a while. Then, if it doesn't get corrected, you get used to it. I really hope you get it resolved, however. Keep on Apple's back, as that is not normal and they should definitely resolve it to your satisfaction.

I'm experiencing this (minor) problem too. I figured out that an increasing buzzing sound was coming from the "brick" part of my MBP's power adaptor, most notably when I was scrolling in Safari. Not sure if this is the same sounds you are hearing, but it's still very weird indeed!

same problem here! I've just replaced the logic board and now with the new one, there is a noise when scrolling pages or using intensive 3d app.
it's a mid 2007 mbp 15 inches 2.4ghz....

what can we do?

hmm my noise was coming from the power adaptor and not the machine itself. i'm just going to live with it. is your noise coming from the laptop and not from outside of it? from what part is it loudest?

Go to System Preferences > Sound and click on the "Sound Effects" tab. On that tab, deselect the option, "Play User Interface sound effects."

it comes from the right corner, near to the power button...

I have the same problem. Noises coming out from the right corner especially when scrolling in safari. Does anyone has this problem solved?
