I used the migration assistant and imported settings and applications from a powermac G5. When I used Firefox on the Macbook, it would make the high pitch sound. I called Apple and they told me to delete the account and start a new one. This solved the noise problem which also locked up the computer. My suggestion is to back up your files and start anew.
