    is it whine? if it is, would it hurt the system or get louder over time..
    appreciate it..

    Is this a constant noise? If not, then I think it's normal. I don't hear that noise on my Thinkpad unless my head is below my laptop.

    i noticed it whenever im in front of it...it is constant noise..like whiz,up and down..and it has nothing to do with the system process and cpu usage..
