Now I see what you meant by turning off the tea kettle. It was an interesting joke and I am sorry that I did not realize what you meant initially. I thought at first that the tea kettle might be a script or that kind of thing which does something during hibernation or resume so I wanted to know how to turn if off! :)
Anyway, I am really not concerned with the noise if it does not signal something's going wrong inside my laptop. I mean, if it cannot damage the hardware then that's alright. I cannot figure out how to give you more information because I don't know how to tell where is the noise coming from precisely. I will try to make the process as much verbose as is possible then I might be able to see what happens that makes the noise.
