RAM (or possibly something else) noise?

Is it a Dell Inspiron laptop?

Actually, speakers do have moving parts. The voice coil, or equivalent, vibrates as it is driven by an analog of the sound. True, there is nothing that needs bearings, is all elastic, but it moves. Claude Claude Long

Yeah I've noticed strange sounds out of my (older) computer, too. For instance, during heavy processing I can hear the fan speed change. However with a lot of computers (older ones because they are old, and newer ones because they are made of cheaper materials) some kind of interference will occur, I don't know if it's an electrical field or what but it causes sounds to come out of your speakers, particularly when graphics are being updated, but this varies from computer to computer because components are located in different places. For instance, one computer I had would cause a buzzing sound whenever I would minimize/maximize and window, and a different sound when I would drag it. My very new dell laptop actually has already developed this problem, however in this case I think it's something other than the graphics card. I've seen this a lot but can't offer much of a solution for it.

I had this same problem once, it was the power supply that was making the noise.

We've wandered from the topic here, but since we're already out here, I'll add that sound does not exist without motion.

TV Yokes have no moving parts either but I can hear them. For a simpler comparison, a lot of transformers have no moving parts but you can hear them hum. I've heard of Video cards doing this but not RAM, doesn't mean it's not RAM though. there are 10 kinds of people in this world those that understand binary and those that don't

I hope you've solved your problem by now. I've experienced the same thing from time to time. It's only happened once with a flatpanel monitor, but CRT's did it frequently. For me, it was a particular color on the screen (depending on the monitor, usually red, yellow or white...which is why most of my apps use the default VB IDE gray). The more of the color was present, the more the noise stood out. Sit a foot further away or a foot closer to the monitor and the sound was gone. No one believed me until I was running a memory test that involved checking the video capability. My boss had come within range while the scan was going and he just barely heard it when that color flashed up. Long story short (too late!) I found it would diminish or disappear by changing the refresh rate, screen resolution and the distance I sat from the monitor. If you haven't already found the fix, I hope this might provide some relief!

It happened to me once, some time ago. I was using the front audio panel of my computer case to connect my headphones and I also connected a mouse in the front usb panel. When I moved the mouse, I used to get some strange sound. It seems it could be some interference, nothing to do with notepad2, but the computer case (in mi situation). If your situation is like mine, I suggest to change computer case

I know i hear the high pitch screaming from monitors and TVs and stuff like that.

hey! that happens to me too! that means I'm human :laugh:
