You usually won't hear it until you initiate an action which triggers a sound event (e.g. tapping on the Start menu).

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't really notice it. Is it noticable only when using headphones? How about connecting it to stereo speakers ? My ipaq is currently with HP for repairs. Will tell them to check the headphone jack.

Mine makes a Hissing sound too. Could be because I have XScale CPU on but it doesnt really bother me. I just thought this was odd. I hope it doesnt blow up!!
