New laptop...noisy at first, will it quiet down?

Hi...

Just got a Toshiba Satellite U200 today, and after turning it on and getting it set up something Ive noticed is that its more noisy than I expected it to be...

Sorry if this sounds simplistic and vague but the way I see it is that I go to class at college and many of my classmates use laptops in class...and they don't make a whisper at all!!...this one, it occasionally hums very softly at a high pitch (but still noticeable) for a few seconds at a time...its enough to annoy me when it happens, but Im not sure if its just me and my hearing being ultra sensitive, or if I bring it to class my other classmates will notice too and ask me not to use it?

The specs on my machine are as follows: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7200 (2.00GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB), Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium 32-Bit, Mist Gray, Microsoft® Office Basic 2007, 2048MB PC5300 DDR2 667MHz SDRAM (1024MBx2), 12.1" Diagonal Widescreen XGA TruBrite™ display (1280x800), Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950, 100GB HDD (5400rpm, Serial-ATA), DVD SuperMulti (+/-R double layer) drive, Intel® PRO/Wireless LAN 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g), Bluetooth® Version 2.0 +EDR, 1 Year Standard Limited Warranty,

Is this common for new laptops...will be it quieter overall after I use it some more?

Sorry if this is a naive worry but Im not really much of a techno person...

Thanks!
