i don't let agressive web pages into any computers..
also
while i don't OFTEN use my A31p (or the previous A30p) for surfing i HAVE
encountered the occasional predatory web site but never experienced anything
like you describe..
this SOUNDS like the inverter might be the source..
take a look at the HMM for htis machine and see what components are close to
the source of the singing..
this sounds like a marginal component or some sort..
is the A30p new..? or new to you..?

Cordially, :-)
