Why Would A Solid State Laptop Be Hissing At Me?
 

SSD HD - No fans - Nothing that moves - Running cool...

Why is the fucking thing intermittently hissing at me?....

Bad components maybe?

Noisy capacitor I would guess.

I will look into that. Thanks...

Bad audio on your motherboard or bad speaker(s)? Try using the laptop on mute.

you on windows? open your services look towards the bottom for module installer and windows update. sounds like they are messing with your shit. they went in mine last year and up deleted everything and downloaded it

Could a small snake, have hidden itself inside?

Mmmmm.... I like...

either that or coil whine? :error could be an interference of sort from the stepper motor if you are using an optical drive.

try changing/updating your drivers, maybe that helps. or you know what to do if you still have the warranty. :upsidedow

missing a lot of details, so can't really tell what could be causing this issue.

god i would pay to see that small find!!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh the screaming and stomping

I knew somebody would say it - We have NO snakes in New Zealand!..

Love you!....

New Zealand is amazingly creepy free - Next to Australia but no deadly shit...

Thank you...

Perhaps you are running a poogram written in Python then?

Love you too XXX

Are you insinuating I am a bit of a drama queen?..

No optical disc - I am thinking it must be speakers - It just doesn't seem like that...

From Dell:

"Some portable systems equipped with solid state drives (SSD) emit an audible squeal when the system is idle or under light use. This is normal behavior. In order to save energy when the Central Processing Unit (CPU) is idle, the CPU can be set to enter a lower-power mode, also known as a "C-State"."

This and/or coil whine

Does it happen under load?

I guess it could possibly be a capacitor, either one that is giving out or one that for some reason has it's cycle amplitude reaching a frequency of around 20Hz-20kHzish in a range where people can hear it. But if it was the latter, I think that would have been resolved during the design phase..

are you sure its not a cat?

if the ruby slippers fit... :zzwhip

Why Would A Solid State Laptop Be Hissing At You? Because it doesn't like you.

I am starting to think that may be the case - I can handle it when assholes from GFY, random people in the street and my parents hiss at me - but seriously, my computer!..
