    I have a problem regarding Dell m1330.I recently bought this laptop and i can hear a kind of noise.When its real quiet or when i put my ears on the back part, i hear a scratchy kind of noise. it sounds like click click...somewhat that comes out when you use the keyboard..the noise is low but annoying..I was just wondering if it something normal or theres some problem with it..

    I look forward for some suggestions..

    its very normal. its the sound of your hard disk. infact you should be worried if you dont hear this noice.....

    If you want it to be completely silent, maybe you can try to change the Hard drive accoustics in the BIOS.
