Thank you for posting this! I have the EXACT same noise coming from my Dell M1330. Nobody has been able to solve it. Even RM Clock does not seem to do the trick for me. Can somebody give me specific instructions as to what I should do within RM clock.
Using RM Clock you have two options, and I just figured this out yesterday so I'm not particularly aware of all the tradeoffs, but this is what I have so far (This worked for my Dell Inspiron 1520). Let me first tell you what's causing it: Your processor is moving between operational power states, the problematic on being the C4 power state.
On "Advanced CPU Settings", click the chipset button.
If you're most concerned about battery life, remove the checkmark from "Enable Popup mode."
You're other option to stop the sound is to disable the C4 mode entirely (which you'll see a separate check box for), saving performance, performance here being a kind of instant responsiveness from inactivity, but hurting your battery life significantly. Feel Free to set up disabling C4 on AC and disabling popup on battery if you wish, as I very well may end up doing, good luck everybody, I make no guarantees, and feel free to message my channel
The deal is it's a power issue withing the processor itself. When it's running within a certain gHz range, it makes the noise. Higher gHz it won't. Use RMClock to set minimum processor clock.
ok bro...here is what we can do to fix da problem...1...install some linux i suggest sababyon 3.4 loop3b with nvidia and ati drivers...then get beryl going...will we have the same sound then? *fix that GLITCH!* verry nice laptop though...whats are specs on that bad boy?
Go into the BIOS and disable the Intel speed step for the CPU or any CPU power management related settings that may be enabled.
