I've also started to hear the color wheel during the start of its spin up. I don't hear it while it's running, but maybe Schatzi does.

It thought this was a solved problem, or maybe you have cat like vision.

Its funny though, my cat will sit there and stare at the screen for hours! Sometimes she will even paw at the screen.
He used to watch it from his cat tree. But mostly when he's bored.
