Actually, SSDs do indeed make a high-pitched noisen when active---at least the ones in my laptop do (two different brands and form factors). The noise is very soft and not really constant, though. It's more a syncopated, staccato "crackling" that sounds like a whine during high I/O, and you aren't likely to notice it unless the rest of the machine (and room, for that matter) is nearly silent. So unless you notice that the tone and rhythm of the sound matches up with the I/O of your system, disk isn't a likely source. -- :: Brandon J.
