    Alright it sounds like the dentist is drilling into my teeth and you hear the zzzzzziiiiiiiiiiii sound. the best way i can describe it is that little drill. similar to the ringing sound you hear and no one else does. or even better, you play call of duty and some dude throws out the flash bang and you hear that annoying sound. thats it!
    Im hearing it from my brand new cq56-115dx (gift for mom).
    Also the left fan (gpu?) is ON constantly. anyway i can turn that sucker down?
    the hdd can be heard too everytime the needle touches the plates.
    Should i return this thing?

    i guess this is a perfect example of YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
