Panther cured it on my 1.25 powerbook too.

It was a sound that most 15" and 17" powerbooks made when Safari would acess a secure website, like banks. It sounded kinda like bacon sizzling on the stove, but at a much higher frequency.

Really? All this time I thought that was my money burning away and was built-into my bank account site as a sound effect....darn it....

A sound when connecting to a HTTPS site? That's about the weirdest thing I've ever heard of.

osxisfun · Oct 18, 2003, 04:17 PM

was this sound coming from behind the "j" key or from the speaker?

Yea I as far as I could tell, it WAS right around in there. The graphics card maybe?

Probably more likely the network card. What would graphics have to to with using a particular IP protocol?

My PB (867Mhz Titanium) sizzles when accessing software update. Maybe it's not the same sizzle we are talking about here.

I occasionally hear it also on a PB 800. I'm pretty sure its the same. I've only noticed it when browsing the net as well.

Go to www.paypal.com or another secure web site and it will sizzle like hell.

blixa · Oct 18, 2003, 08:07 PM

My 17" iMac makes the sizzling noise when accessing secure websites, and when using OpenGL. Did yours used to make noise when doing 3D graphics? and if so, was that fixed, too?

schk · Oct 18, 2003, 08:31 PM

I would describe it as a screeching noise rather than sizzling. Anyways nice to hear it's fixed in Panther since it's somewhat annoying.

My theory it is caused by a certain kind of EF that is put off by the processor when it is doing encryption (like https sites in Safari.) The EF is picked up by the speakers and you get that odd squeally sound. I notice it in any app that uses encryption, most noticeably SSH.

I have seen similar issues on PC laptops under similar circumstances, so this isn't just an Apple/PPC thing.

That said, Panther has done nothing to reduce this on my 17" Powerbook that I have noticed. It never really bothered me before, though.

sushiism · Oct 18, 2003, 09:19 PM

i thought it was the network gard going gigabit, or doing something similar and for some reason secure websites cause it in safari? I know mine makes the noise if it cant find something

ShortcutToMoncton · Oct 18, 2003, 11:00 PM

I hope it cures my infernal audio popping problems with my Quicksilver 733.

Now they drive me to utter distraction.

ROTFL!!!

DVD Plaza · Oct 19, 2003, 04:18 AM

Hey that's awesome if Panther has someone eliminated that - my 17" AlBook's sizzle gets darned loud at times (probably when I have 30+ Camino windows open

)

I still have a whining sound when the power is connected though

Link · Oct 20, 2003, 04:16 AM

when speakers are plugged in on my bro's imac + airport in use (quite often) I hear that sound all the time through the speakers. VERY annoying.

Yep. Its the graphic card. When i owned an 667 pbg4 i heard it a lot when i scrolled thru web pages...

pc laptops do the same sometimes. this is good news that it was fixed..

sushiism · Oct 20, 2003, 04:08 PM

ohhh theres the combobox menu noise too haah thats great it changes in pitch as you move up and down

nobitacu · Oct 20, 2003, 04:16 PM

Sweet! I was hoping they would fix this soon. Now I'm happy.
