    I searched the forum for a similar pb but i couldn't find anything. Maybe i didn't know what ot search for. Consequently i started a new thread, asking if anyone else is hearing a high pitch noise coming from under the laptop from both sides? it's not really loud but when quiet you can hear it, and it can be disturbing. I think it's coming from the 2 vents under the laptop. Can this be a problem in time? Should i get it to a technician and get it fixed?

    I think you are referring to the so called “CPU whine”. Search CPU whine, there are several fixes and workarounds.
