First, thank you all for replying. I read some good posts wth a lot
information. I really tried to isolate the little noises I was
talking about. To my ear and to my knoledge, they relato the faint
screeches you hear when te HD is working. It's not whining, it's not
pinging, it really reminds me of the sound made by the HD on my old
6500. Can't say that it keeps me from working, no. But I now am
positive these little noises were not there before. As they were not
there for a time on the old 6500 when the disk was defragmented. So
why would they appear? But these are times when you hear them more:
Mail loading messages from the Net, Mail deleting emails, Entourage
loading it's database, deleting some of the messages. Safari loading
some pages with heavy Java or Flash animation. Actually, I think any
app can do it when it writes and reads to and from the disk. I'm no
expert but it's as if my HD was saying: Please defrag me. I read all
about OSX and defragmenting files. So this why I am looking somewhere
else to find and explanation to the coming of thes littles noises.
