Vaio F12S1E/B - high pitched background noise

My husband noticed an intermittent, high pitched background noise, a kind of a squeak, whenever I run my computer.  Once he pointed it out to me I noticed it too and it is very annoying.  he won't stay in the room if I have my computer on, which is quite a problem!  Has anyone else come across ot, and does anyone know what it means?

Have you installed the BIOS Update R1110Y6 which is meant to improve fan control.

On the high pitched noise, as it is troubling you, I think I would contact Vaio Support for advice.  Go here: -

and click on 'Get in Touch'.  Enter your Vaio's serial number and go to Telephone Support for the appropriate number to call.

...this is in addition to a noisy, continuous fan.
