    that is the processor whine i believe, you need to send it in for repair or better yet return it and hope that you wont get one that whines. I would also check your power brick because as is with most people sometimes this also makes the whine.

    The power brick whine is more like a fizzing sound. It's very quiet.

    A power brick is your laptop's AC adapter... specifically the rectangular brick shaped converter part of it.
