To All you new MBP owners! congrats!

I got mine yesterday and do you guys notice it is not that quiet of a notebook? I have a buzzing sound, which could be from an inductor from the upper right hand corner of the MBP as well as a fan noise or running low noise from under the speaker area and i verified it was not the speaker (i think).

Anyone else have this or is this normal for a Rev A?

Any feedback would be great!

I've seen a couple other reports of this, contact Apple if you think it is louder than normal.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

A buzzing noise shouldn't result from a Rev A product.
Call Apple if it is a problem.

I went to the Apple Store at Valley Fair in San Jose, CA and i looked at all 3 of their demo units and all of them have the two noise issues i spoke of in the first post.

Man, i guess this is a Rev A product, huh? My first Rev A laptop from Apple. I can live with it, but i wanted to make sure it is a norm and i'm not an unique case.

With Apple - and probably others - there can be issues on Rev A or Rev B or Rev C etc. That seems to be the way it is.

That said due to their extreme paranoia Apple tends to do way less beta tesing than others do. The result? Hardware issues more often than I'd like to see - or we should expect.

The bug will probably last through a few revisions; many (most?) bugs in Apple hardware do.
