Description Louis 2010-10-26 21:47:32 UTC
The bluetooth card of HP Envy 17, Broadcom coorporation 4353 (wifi+bluetooth) emits an intermittent high pitch noise, amplified when the CPU is idle, when the bluetooth kernel module is activated.

On Windows 7 it doesn't produce any kind of noise. 
Deactivating bluetooth kernel module removes the noise.
Maybe a circuit resonance generated by a wrong bluetooth search frequency/alimentation? 

Tested on kernels 2.6.34 and 2.6.35.

This issue starts when module btusb is enabled.
Could you please set component: driver->bluetooth. Thanks.
