Thank you for updating us. As per the Kernel Team policy, can you test
with a mainline kernel build please. Instructions are at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds - this will enable you
to be able to test the latest kernel, and if fixed, we can ascertain
what needs to be pulled in from that version. Please make sure you get
the latest version, and when loading GRUB select that one. After the
above is done you can easily go back to a normal system by rebooting,
choosing the normal kernel in GRUB, and uninstalling the mainline build.
Thank you again.

** Description changed:

  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T60.  There is a high pitch noise that comes up
  whenever Ubuntu 8.10 isn't under load. For example while typing this I
  hear it.  Whenever I'm running an update, loading files, or doing
  something that seems to be more intensive on the system the noise goes
  away.
  
  Maybe it has to do with the CPU clocking up and down?  Or a problem with the 
RAM?
  I don't think it's the hard drive as the noise definitely isn't coming from 
where the hard drive is located.
  
  The CPU is an Intel Core 2 Duo, and I have heard about people suggesting
  it's power management, or the max_cstate settings of the CPU.  Either
  way I only hear it in Linux.
+ 
+ -----------------------------
+ 
+ Workaround:
+ 
+ Adding processor.max_cstate=2 to grub configuration.
+ 
+ ------------------------------
