Yep, I'd say its a possibility if there is lots of electrical interference.

Just thought maybe interferance from a noisy cable. Personally my power cables are all (14 in all) in a huge knot which looks sililar to a coiled twin DNA strand

Doesn't cause me any poblems but thought it might be the cause.

Reminds me of my parents monitor. When that died it went crazy and kind of screached. The interferance messed with my wireless router which then started letting out a kind of RRREEEEEEEEEE sound as if it was in pain :eek:

Mines not made a noise since launch, it only gets lukewarm at worst too.

No noises here either, and I've had the two now.

Can't hear mine either, but then its behind the telly, so I don't think I would over the game sounds

Don't fancy trying to listen out for it either - you know how it is, once you hear something, you always hear it. If I can't hear a problem, it isn't there
