    Has to be the hdd, cpu, or a fan. those are the only 3 things that are on/off and can make noise that I can think of.

    Could also be the BIOS, maybe? Try perform a system restore, reinstall your OS and/or reset your BIOS with the reset button located underneath your notebook.

    Judging from the description, this is the "Core duo CPU whine". A Google should clarify what that is. There are workarounds, but they have their drawbacks.
