Anyone use Nortel 2330A AP's?
 

At one of the company I work for's larger installs, we installed
Nortel 2330A AP's.

After about a year and a half (yeah, just out of warranty), some of
the AP's started to make a high pitched squealing noise. Younger
people hear it just fine - it starts not being heard by people in
their 40's or older. Unfortunately, it's driving the employees at the
locations mad, so we have no choice but to replace them. I think we've
replaced 20+.

Nortel is saying too bad, they're out of warranty.

If anyone else is seeing this, maybe there's a potential for a class
action lawsuit?

Unlikely. Workplace hazards are usually thrown out.
Its a PITA, sure, I can hear the screen on my moms Palm Pilot
squealing...florescent lights sometimes make annoying noises...thats what
iPods are for: blocking the annoyances of noises from equipment and
coWorkers.
