whine

whine

2007-07-19 by GAmoore@aol.com

My Mac seems to produce a high pitched whine through the monitors and it 
seems to get worse with disk access. Its not really loud, but just enough to be 
annoying. I read somewhere a while back that there is some way to fix this, but 
can't find it now. Any clues?


Mac G5 1.8x2.

Greg, 
Do you hear this whine when your system is accessing
your external drives or the internal HD?
I had this problem with an older firewire drive a few
months back.
I posted the problem to this forum (or another Logic
forum, I can't remember,) and I was told that I should
get rid of that drive...
When I did, the sound was gone...

Hope this helps.
: )

charlie

It might be the classical nap noise from the CPU, see this posting for
more info:

http://www.oreillynet.com/digitalmedia/blog/2007/07/quiet_your_noisy_g5_mac_audio.html

It has info what to install, and how to use the new control panel to
disable CPU nap.  Note, this is for G5 systems, not for Intel CPUs.

Hey thanks! Perfect. That was what I saw before. Yes, I have a non-intel G5 
so this is great. I saw something about intel macs too on the apple discussion 
boards but not sure it applied. thanks again.
Greg
