   That may be true for some, but on my Rom 01, that's _not_ a sound
interference problem. To test that, I opened up my GS, and unplugged
the internal speaker and external speakers. There was no normal way
for my GS to make any noises. I still got the noise.

   It's a power supply thing for me, and probably others. Replacing
the motherboard wouldn't help.

   Hopefully they put in a real power supply as well.
