Erm... My D40x is making a "fizzing" noise like a bomb about to explode.

Any ideas? I've tried googling but there's nothing.

It happens once every 5-10 mins and it lasts about 5 seconds.

It sounds like an old fashioned flash unit charging up, mixed with the fizzing sound of freshly poured cola.

Really weird. At first I thought it was the capacitor in my flash about to explode or something. Almost had a heart attack as I dashed to the bathroom to throw it in the bath. But it's actually the camera making the noise.

I've taken the battery out and the lens is off and it's still making the noise.

:confused:
