First couple of weeks and it was fine, but past couple of days an intermittent buzzing noise has started which seems to be coming from around the fan area. Its very low frequency but I had music on low the first time I heard it, and I thought what’s that. Its very annoying as its not constant, it will come on for 30 seconds or sometimes 2 minutes then it will go off completely but then start up again a second later, then it might just go off and stay off.

I’m at idle all the time, just reading a word doc or reading a web page with 1 tab open so it’s nothing to do with what I’m doing, screen brightest doesn’t affect it either.

This is the second iMac they have sent me, the first one had a loud fan, but at least it was constant, this second one was noticeably quieter so I thought great and now this buzzing has started.

It’s a great machine but I’m really not impressed by quality control, if they offer a repair im going to see if I can get a new machine.
