So - here is the story. Does anyone notice that their macbook makes more noise than the previous powerbook? that the fan is on quite a bit.... or am i going crazy?
 
people have talked about their MBP chips making a buzzing noise that might be what your hearing not the fan.
 
My MPB makes less noise than my 12'' PB. It made some weird noise for the first few mins, but they went away. I think it was just cold.
 
Many units seem to be affected by a hissing noise probably from the power inverter. Possibly all, with many units perhaps being lower than others in volume so that users aren't bothered and don't notice.
 
I have the 2.0 MacBook Pro w/7200rpm hard drive. I think that it is extremely quiet. There is a slight level of noise from the hard drive or something i guess, but its a very low volume that is not really noticable.
