It's typical of the old scam where folk get MALWARE or RANSOMWARE by letting sites install audio or video drivers.
This means I can't hear your noise. Most laptops do make noise. So next time, just put it up on YouTube.
I bought a Dell Inspiron 5000 yesterday and it's been making this noise. https://vocaroo.com/i/s1MDcZvZRhEk
The noise starts as soon I turn on the laptop and doesn't stop unless it's shut down or put on sleep. Is this normal and just part of the set-up process or should I return it?
