A friend of mine had a z-181 (previous generation) with a screen that whined quite loudly. I'd noticed a slight whine in a demo model, but this was much more. The dealer agreed that there was something wrong with it, and replaced the screen (along with the attached computer, I think :-). The replacement was muchmuch quieter. For what it's worth, the intensity of the whine seemed to vary with the brightness and contrast settings. So specific software may be trying for color combinations that aggravate the situation.
