Hi all,

Received my iMac 27" yesterday, and all is well apart from the dog whistling issue from changing brightness (doesnt really affect me as im always at full brightness). But anyway, a really strange problem ive been having is every now and then the iMac starts making a loud buzzing sound, which seems to differ in sound depending on screen angle. The really inconvenient thing is though, it seems to affect the iMac when it is completely vertical with no angle.

I've uploaded a vid here to show what I mean:

You may need to turn the sound up to be able to hear it, iPhone didnt pick it up too well. It seems to be more noticable from 20 secs onwards.

Do you think it would warrant a return? Really would be a shame since the screen is pretty much perfect :(

Thanks in advance!
