Yeah, that I can hear. Like some faint R2D2 sounds going on in the back when it loads and save samples. I hear that in all samplers and digital DAWs though. Its natural, some quieter than others and some noisy. My old SP-505 use to shed alot of white noise and I hated it but the SP-606 is silent.
I do remember one dude saying that when he turns off the backlight, the white noise disappears, but I have yet to try it since I didn't detect white noise yet on my unit.
Gotta remember, the 500 was made in 3 different countries throughout its heyday. China, Malaysia and Taiwan. So each assembly was different.
