I have the infamous CPU Whine which to me is very annoying considering i have sensitive ears. Will apple repair it somehow through warranty? Just FYI i have a Unibody Macbook.

infamous whine? the one from the original Macbook Pro over 3 years ago?...????????????
you should get it checked out.. could be many things causing a whine. -
Linky.
I notice it in my macbook when I boot up into XP, if the power setting is set to portable, but if I set it to "always on", it doesn't happen.
Check out this video. The person who made it was able to catch it very well. -
I have no such problem with the 2 MB or the MBP in my house.

No one who has the Unibody Macbook having this problem? I brought it to the apple store but they claim they were unable to hear it. Im going to bring it back another day and try to deal with another "genius"

I have a ThinkPad T500. I recently noticed this when I went on battery. After doing some research I found that disabling the "CPU Deeper Sleep" option in power management resolved the problem. I don't know if there's anything similar on the Mac side but I would look into it.
Good luck. -
Yes they will address it.
HOWEVER, probably not at an Apple Store. The reason is pretty simple: Most maintenance areas of the Stores are too noisy to allow techs to hear the noise.
If I were you, I'd set up an appointment thorough Applecare specifically indicating that you have a whine, that it is audible in domestic circumstances. The chances are that they'll direct you to an AASP.
