Can't hear it from the bottom with the fans moving. It's coming from under the left side of the keyboard. I've been downloading and setting up the system and it seems to be most prevalent when downloading. Almost like the noise a modem used to make after the initial connection was made. Anyone else have the issue?

    The only thing on the left side that could make a high-pitched squeal like that would probably be a small choke on the mainboard. Otherwise known as coil whine. Not much can be done about it. Jack E/NJ
