I haven't opened case to check the noise is originating from graphics card, but I'm assuming it's the graphics card by listening by the case air vent.

As soon as I get to character selection screen I hear an electrical hum. Minimising the game and opening up another maximised window (web browser) doesn't get rid of the noise.

Once I get into the game the sound changes, and reminds me of a wire contacting the fan blades. But I think it's just the same sound as above, just cutting out constantly.

I'm using a 7900GTX, Win XP updated, Forceware 162.18

Anyone else know of this issue, or a work around? Its only ever occurred in Everquest 2. Recently been playing World of Warcraft and Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter without issue.
 
A friend mentioned his 8800GTX also has some wiry sound during high player count locations. No idea which driver set he's using.
