It really *is* | loud, making a very annoying high pitched whine, a constant | lower-frequency noise, and very loud seeking noises too. It also vibrates | very strongly and you have to be careful about what you put on top of or | next to the enclosure or the vibrations will cause a very loud buzzing | noise. Hmm, this exactly describes the Micropolis 3243AV I recently bought. I was really surprised at the noise and ended up suspending the enclosure on some foam rubber. Then I put the whole thing in a cabinet with egg-crate foam on the walls. Hmm, is the Grand Prix a Micropolis? Dan Lanciani ddl@harvard.*
