On further inspection, this part isn't actually true.

This is very noticeable, but I can't really track down where this particular 
noise is coming from; I suspect it is the screen itself.  I took a look at my 
brother's Freerunner, and his does not do this (we run the same kernel and 
firmware)

Also, this part was a lie as well.  After a certain part of the bootup 
sequence, I can still touch the screen and hear the buzz.
