In the top left corner, the display card is squeaking (fan is off). It is extremely noisy.
Driver Packaging Version 8.52.4.3-080821b-068591C-Lenovo
Switching to the X4500 the problem still remains.
If one go to the CCC and and click "3D" -> "Standard Settings" in the "Graphics Settings"panel, the noise immediately amplify many times.

Hello,
it seems your TP suffers from so called cpu or coil whine.
Please try to disable CPU powermanagement in BIOS.
This may be have an affect to total run time while run on battery.
Regards
Andreas

My top left is quiet
but the hard drive is spinning and making noise all the time.
I hate the noise, it is annoying in a quiet room

Are all of you experiencing noise with you W500. I am keen to buy one, but am concerned about this whine, and the hard disk spinning. How would you compare to other laptops of similar specs? or to the lenovo T61?
thanks.

my experience is that T61p is really quiet

Hi,
Thanks Andreas,
I had a disturbing high-pitched noise on my w500. Your suggestion made it disappear.
