This is a video of a Macbook Pro making odd hissing/whirring noises. The video was submitted by boloncats, commenting "My Macbook Pro has been making a sound I've never heard before in my life. I recommend you watch the last 20 seconds. It's not the hard drive. I sent it once to Apple, they said they fixed it. But the noise came back."

Aside from boloncats, other Macbook Pro users have complained similar problems that include hissing sounds from the LCD, the hard drive squealing , the processor whining when the PC is idle, and the fan engaging in random vacuum-like bursts. In addition to these weird noises, others reported having an incredibly noticeable white strip along the bottom of the LCD, making the bottom significantly brighter than the rest of the display.

Apple have already issued a recall for their defective lithium-ion batteries manufactured by Sony. Would they acknowledge these issues too and fix the manufacturing problems?

That reminds me of my old 386. It made the exact same sound.
Its the power cooling fan. The motor on it is jaming up.

Hi, i too have a mac book pro but mine doesnt make the odd noises mentioned.

It used to do so and i read up on this around various sites, the conclusion i came to was to update the firmware via software update, update the other firmware via the apple site and get the battery replaced. It also made mention that these problems seem to appear on the early models off the line.
