(2) I've changed the title here because my response is to the quoted text and not to the original subject. A common fault is that the audio board comes loose in its socket. All sorts of effects can be created by this - including the sound of breaking glass at startup. I can't comment on "bad noise" unless you describe it. I would replace the Hard Drive, make sure all cards are fully seated, boot up and reset the PRAM then boot up from a CD and reinstall the OS. Make sure the battery is good. May I respectfully ask people to reply to the list and not to cc me direct. These are just my observations and I don't need a reply.
