The whistle is most likely the tube, the glass thingie at the back starts making a high pitch sound when it gets old. Most whistling tubes I have seen are very near death.

I recently bought a Classic II to add to my collection of compact mac's and the seller indicated that it made a noise like an old fashioned kettle boiling on a gas stove - and true to his word it did when I took it out the box. My first suspicion was that the hard drive bearings were shot so I decided to replace the hard disk which has lessened the problem considerably, but it still makes a whistling noise when running - even when the hard drive isn't being accessed. Anybody got any ideas? I'm not sure if I could be looking at a problem with the motherboard or not as the drive I installed was a known good, silent runner on a Mac SE just before I put it in.
