    After viewing/doing anything that produces sound (youtube, itunes, etc.), I get this sort of fuzzy/light static kind of noise through my headphones for about 20seconds then it goes away until the next sound. Normal?

    It's difficult to describe.

    I get that some noise too.

    From what I understand, it's been an issue that's been plaguing MBPs for a long time.

    I get it to. I figured it was just turning something off until it got another sound.
