I received the replacement today, and it too whines. I must say, I believe all MacBooks whine, some people just can't hear it. Incredibly frustrating, I don't know what to do now. I want to return it, but I ordered it in November.

The only thing I have done is open Photobooth, not the best option, but it works... and the whining sound only happens while plugged in, so you don't need to worry about PhotoBooth eating your battery... That's what you get for $1300! 🙁
I bought my Macbook C2D about a week ago brand new, and there is no "whine" or buzzing sound at all. The fan will run somewhat loudly every now and again but it isn't an annoyance... since my machine doesn't get hot at all 😀 . Good luck with your replacement!

I use my machine for music. Any noise like that would make it unusable. It's totally silent and runs very cool indeed (it replaces two red-hot powerbook 12s).
I did this. It worked. But now my CPU is running 100% all of the time and is overheating. How do I kill ShhMBP and get rid of the noise and not overheat?
