    I have a new Envy 4 and have just noticed that, whenever I touch the trackpad (one touch or scrolling), a light electronic buzzing sound can faintly be heard. It's not coming from the trackpad itself, but from the body of the notebook (under the keyboard), and sounds not unlike a normal computer processor noise. Always stops when I take my finger off the touchpad. It's not massively loud, noticeable in a quiet room. But it is a little annoying. Is this unusual? Should we expect absolute silence from our touchpads?
