I bought a new MacBook a few weeks ago and I love it, except for one
thing:  there is a high pitched sound that emits from the drive that
gives me a headache!  It's also really distracting.

I've worked on Mac laptops for years and never had this problem before.

I am wondering what my recourse is.  I know that some people hear
frequencies that other people do not. Whenever I have taken a hearing
test I've been told I have an unusual range ability. So what do I do?

A few things come to mind.  Are there places on the web where Mac
users talk about products, and how can I search for this specific
topic?  Where in the Apple empire do I register a complaint about
this?  I doubt very much that they would replace my computer, but . .
. should I doubt this?  (It is still well within the regular warrenty
period.)  What are other ways that I can find out if other users have
complained about this?  How can I know if there is, or will be, a
recall because of this problem?

Or, am I just part canine and I have to live with it?

p.s. spare me the cracks about 'on the internet nobody knows you're a
dog . . .'    thank you very much

This is an acknowleged problem.  Seems like every one they built has
this problem!  Buy a PPC powerbook while you can still get one!  See:

and officially from apple:

Hi Timely One

I suspect that you may have a tiny dog trapped inside your computer
and that he is woofing for attention.

I suggest that you take of the lid and try to tempt him out.

Good Luck!

t_u_r_b_o-ga . . . hey, thanks so much for that!

I will be contacting Apple immediately

but I'm too much of a Macevangelist to buy a PC, sorry!

Bryan, could that tiny dog be the one running on the hamster wheel? 
He must be going nuts . . .

just a follow-up, for the sake of anyone else looking into this same problem

it's a problem with the power inverter, located near where the USB
plugs go in.  It's covered under the one year warranty.  It's fixable
(they say), and a free repair.
