Hi Chris, Thank you for your response. All I know is that when I kill GHA, my laptop stops making the noise. I don't think that I have Hardware Growler installed. (At least, I can't find it when I do a search via Spotlight on my laptop, nor does it appear in my Application Folder.
Note: I transferred all of my old data from my 12" PowerBook to this MacBook. I manually installed all the programs I wanted and then simply moved the data/settings. I don't know if this would cause something related to the problem that I have.
