High frequency sound when hard drive is spinning/reading info
![](https://www.meetgadget.com/image.php?t=avatar&id=2269&img=avatar.jpg&v=tmb&name=)
I just got the notebook and there is that high freq noise coming out of speakers or something when the hard drive is spinning. Any ideas how to fix that?
Display mode:
No, the optical drive was empty at that time.

Mic checked, all options enabled/disabled including muting the freaking thing completely - no change. Updated all sound drivers with the latest ones - no change. When clicked the option to hear mic through the speakers, the high pitch sound got a bit lower on the volume - so that's a no go.
One thing worked though, when I opened the Control panel and went into the Sound Options, the moment I clicked the Microphone tab (screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/DdvYh.png) the annoying high pitch sound stopped. What a relief. You have to keep that window open in the background in order to stop the high freq sound.
I'm not sure if this is going to be fixed by ASUS or it is Win7 related bug, but sure it is super-annoying.
