   MacBooks, PowerBooks

   In my experience with three PowerBooks and now a MacBook Pro there are plenty of strange noises. The proximity of the components to your ears makes it a lot easier to detect the normal noises of the computer.
   
   I certainly think people who are annoyed by the sounds should complain, and I may do so, but I wouldn't avoid buying a MacBook because of them.
   
   The floppy drive on my 520c used to be really loud. The optical drives on the newer machines don't sound like a buzz saw, but can still be pretty loud when they spin up. On my PowerBook G4 Titanium there was an occasional chirp when the processor was throttled.
   
   On my MacBook Pro there is a faint whine and some other noises, but they don't seem out of line with what I experienced on earlier machines. I usually listen to music while working so don't notice them. Or, in the office they are drowned out by the white noise coming from other machines.
   
   Late at night in a quiet room they can start to annoy. But, so can the noise of the cat walking around. Clicking clocks. Wind through the eaves. Rain dripping from the gutters. Late night traffic. Fog horns.

   Whine

   I've never heard any whining from my MBP - if anything, it's quieter than my old 15" PBG4, especially when the fans are running.
   
   I started a poll at http://www.macmegasite.com/node/2950 - does your MacBook Pro whine? So far it's 25% no, 45% yes, 4% other problems but no whine, and 26% whine plus other problems.
