John - my Ti-500 used to sound very noisy, due to the CD drive, which Apple replaced. I think it was out of balance some how and with a disk in, the sound was awful. Is your noise related to that ? I also had problems withmy first hard drive, wAs far as I know, only the CD drive and the gard drive are running at high speed. The only over moving part is the cooling fam, which was also quite loud on my Ti-500. Can you identify the sound as coming from any one fo these sources? Trevor
