Got my Macbook back from repairs, but the hissing is still present. D: I haven't even had this computer for a year and already it has a replaced hard drive, logic board, and as of today, a new fan (franken-rodney! -- what's left to replace? the optical drive? memory?). The logic board replacement resolved the issue for a few months, but a few weeks ago, the sound came back. Ugh, idek. I'm really sensitive to noise, so the sound gives me a headache, but not a lot of people (including most of the tech people, it seems) can hear it because it's so high-pitched. *tears hair out*
And I just noticed that I have somehow procured a program called Growl without being aware of downloading it... odd. That would explain why I get a notification pop-up every time a download completes.

Huh. Growl. Interesting.

I seriously don't know how it got on to my computer! I was confused for the longest time why I was getting notification pop-ups (even though they were helpful).

Even though I still don't think that Macs are superior to PCs, Apple's customer service is definitely better than any other company's! Out of curiosity, what's the brand of your current PC?
