    So i received my L501x today and the moment i turned it on i noticed a high pitched noise coming from the HDD area. I opened it up and took the HDD out and rebooted; no noise. I have uploaded the noise so if you guys would take a listen that'd be much appreciated. Anyone else having this issue?
