Mine makes what sound like a miniature human sigh about every 10 minutes or so and has done it since new. I assume it is either the HD parking or fan spooling up/down.

Could be that other machines make the same sound, but because they have a lot of other noise going on that you never hear this particular one.

Either way it's never bothered me.

Hi, re the strange noise I was reporting with my brand new iMac, there's a discussion page on Apple support pages discussing the mysterious issue. Do a search on the flat-panel iMac pages for 'strange noise' and you'll find it. I tried inserting the link in this message but the maclaunch server bounced the message (probably it looks like spam to it).

Needless to say, I'm getting more and more frustrated here. The strange noise issue is declared 'not serious' but 'abnormal' by Apple. Wonderful.
