I was using my newly installed hackintosh and I started to hear some weird `kind of electricity´ noise when I scroll the sidebars of SAFARI or move the cursor around the dock.
the sound is proportional to the mouse´s movement. I also notice the noise when the system is thinking.
I thought it came from my speakers, so I turned them off... and now the sound seems to come from my computer case... only quieter, what I mean is that the speakers only enhance the sound level but they are not it´s cause.
I used to hear this sound too when I had windows 7, but a lot quieter, and I´m pretty much sure that It disappeared when I turned my speakers off.
If you wonder how the noise sounds like.... the best description I can give you guys is that it sounds like when the old Hard Drives were thinking and the red led of the computer cases turned on... that old hard drive electricity sound...
I don´t mean my HD is the cause of the noise cause the sound appears when the red led of the computer case is off.... it just sounds when the system thinks or when I scroll the sidebars or dock.
