The thing is, such a poll won't show anything.
To be honest, it took me a second listen to hear them in the recording, but there are two different sounds that are audible (again, I think it's a quite good recording because I didn't think the noise would have been able to be captured). The first is the somewhat mechanical noise that some have described as sounding like a small spinning hard drive. The second is a high-pitched squeal, not terribly unlike an old CRT TV. If you turn up the volume of the "mouse" recording and listen, especially toward the second half, you can hear the squeal clearly because it's intermittent.
This isn't music, it's as simple as frequencies. Either you hear them or you don't, or do you suggest that hearing tests are wrong and doesn't work due to how people experience the samples?
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make by quoting me; all I was pointing out is that it's possible that some people can't hear/don't notice/don't care about the higher-pitched sound. I can hear it in the recording, can't hear it on my nMP, and don't care either way because the noises that my computer does make don't bother me in the least.
It's not like there's an official statement on Apple.com, but the information my contact person received from the engineers is that it's a known issue and there's no resolution for it (as in they didn't have a way of fixing the machine). This doesn't mean you can't fix coil whine or that the engineers doesn't know what causes it etc, it's most likely just about getting processes in place.

Depending on how they want solve it it can be different things, one is to change things at the factory lines, making sure all components pass, it seems like an expensive endeavor though. I think repair protocols needs to be created so that everyone follows the same guide lines, it doesn't seem like that's done yet.
