     I have recently receive my HP48SX version B and it appears to be making
MUCH noise (humming, buzzing, etc..).  I am aware that the hp48sx does have a
high pitch buzz from previous readings and from a friend who also has a
version A hp48sx.  BUT, this is noticeably louder (ie. can be heard 8 feet away
when running a program).

QUESTION:

   - Is this unfortunate yet harmless, or should I return the calculator?

   - Is there a possibility of harming anything, draining batteries faster,
     etc...

Somebody wanna comment (HP listening <hint hint>)...

                                Thanks in advance,

                                Aaron Din.

Moral:  Although you can hear the heartbeat of your hp, I'm afraid mine's
        about to have a heart attack!
