My dell makes noise!

open her up and try to find out where the sound is coming from, i know its a bi7ch to bit it back together but if its that annoying, it might be worth it...just remember where everything goes

 

took me about 10 min to take mine apart (so many screws) and then took me like 25 to put back together...

It's possible that it's electronic. I know my video card makes a squeeky buzzing noise once in a while.

 

The electrical coils (the name escapes me) have been known to make a squeal sound. If it turns out to be a coil, Ive heard a small amount of glue or tape will keep the coil from vibrating.

if it is an inductor coil... you can tape or glue them to reduce/eliminate the noise:

There should still be a file attached that you can hear what the sound in question is...if that matches what you hear, then chances are that that is what your problem is...

Well I got her working right today! It was the video drivers. The drivers had the screen refresh rate at some crazy number, reinstalled the drivers and it works great! One very odd problem in my book.
