Your display screen throws another error message at me with an annoying error noise

The only minor downside is the noise it makes turning on

In a call to Sony customer support, I was told that the humming was normal and could be expected, but they could not explain to me why Sony would engineer a product to make an irritating background noise when not in use.

If I have any complaints about it, its the loud electronic "thunk" noise when you turn it on and off but its nothing crazy.

I found a work around for my particular setup, as I too was rather frustrated after purchasing this product
