May not be anything "wrong", but some systems do have an issue with the
voltage regulator circuitry where it can make noise with certain
combinations of power draw and wakeup rates (causing rapid current draw
fluctuations) where some of the components can resonate and make noise.
What does powertop report for this system? It might show some useful info.
