This is unusual with Sony camcorders (they generally do not very

prominently record the "whine" of the very fast rotating head drum

in DV camcorders), unless you are shooting near a large hard

surface that reflects the camera's noise (small room interior, for

instance). Check also where you have your hand relative to the

microphone - you may be guiding the camera noise to the mic, or

obstructing the mic (easy to do on these small camcorders). If you

always hear this noise under all shooting conditions and with

attempts to avoid worsening it, I would try to exchange the

camcorder for a replacement...
