Hi,

I recently noticed that whenever I run a DBPro program (FPSC Cleaner, a project etc...) I can hear a high pitched sound being played. Does this just happen to me or is this normal? And if so, why does it do that anyway?

The high pitched sound may be either your GPU or CPU going a bit crazy if you're not doing anything to limit the frame rate. Without limiting, the hardware will be pushed to capacity unnecessarily. This can cause problems for the hardware in the long run. I think it was WoW that famously had a similar issue and was causing people's hardware to overheat. Make sure you either implement your own timer based updating or use 'sync rate' to impose a limit or perhaps even enable v-sync.
