There have been a number of programs and downloads that supposedly remedy the CPU whine problem found in the MacBook and MacBook Pro

  • note that some of these programs will cause battery life to decrease slightly. The reason for the whine is a low power CPU idle, so running one of these programs will cause the CPU idle to slightly increase, effectively eliminating the whine...

... which goes a little something like this

Photobooth

Launch the included Photobooth application, for whatever reason the cpu whine usually stops when Photobooth is running - likely the usage of 'idle' cpu.
