My 1986 Buick Skylark has one of those digital electronic (blue fluorescent)
dashboards, and it produces a whine that I can hear quite well.  I can
hear the whine even with the engine running and the radio on.  
I wish someboby would set a limit on this noise!!  It's so loud
(to me), that I suppose it would be near deafining to a child (with even better
hearing than an adult).  Anyway... 
For the first six months I owned the car the whine *REALLY* bothered me (my 
wife couldn't hear it); I even took it to the dealer (who thought I was 
imagining it), without success.  Since the electronics are inaccessible in the 
dash, and I wasn't about to resell a brand new car, I finally learned to 
*IGNORE* it.  The whine never bothers me any more, and I really don't perceive 
it unless I actually concentrate on hearing it.  Maybe you can learn to 
"tune out" the squeal yourself as well...
