Apple has found the fix for the whine.

I bought my PowerMac G5 almost a year ago and the ear-piercing noise it makes during certain graphics functions is considered 'normal'

Why should MacBook Pro users get ear plugs when I didn't? It's not fair?

It's funny you mention that.

I once brought my powerbook into the store for various noise problems and the "genius" suggested that I should wear earplugs or play music over the noise.

After sending my MacBook Pro of to repair and getting
it back without the whine being gone I have come to
the conclusion that they need to include ear plugs
with every MacBook Pro they sell. This is the first
Apple product I have had any issues with (5th apple
in 2 years) in addition this is my first dealings
with Apple Care and let me say it was the WORST
experience I have ever had. I guess I hold Apple to
a higher standard then Apple itself does.

What noise do you have ? The screen induced noise or the CPU noise ?

I only have the display related noise (inverter). I demanded that it be replaced as I found ou it is NOT part of the logic board. I said I would pay for the cost of the replacement and did not want to get the "Unable to reproduce compalint" response.

The Apple Specialist said that would not necessary, he would request the replacement.

He did indicate that the engineers said it "normal" I said no way.

I have a box on the way.

When and if they repair it I will note the part number on the Service Details report to all.

Crossing Fingers! No fix and it is E-Bay time.

after what happened to my ibook, i don't trust applecare whatsoever.

send in my new macbook to get repaired...NO WAY!!! i'll put up with the cpu whine instead.

let's hope the software fix is coming soon based on the other thread updates.
