My suggestion is to have them just call Nissan, they will confirm the ECU problems. There are multiple threads on the ECU whine around here if you dig them up. Not sure about the TSB kenchan mentioned, I have never seen one produced, just rumored about. May have just overlooked it during my searches though.

Also, some have had to swap ECU multiple times before they got one that would not whine. If I recall correctly, it supposedly had something to with differences between ones marked A and ones marked B. I think my replacement may be starting to whine again, so I may be in the same boat as others.
The TSB does exist. I printed out a year or two ago for my file for future use. Fortunately, I haven't had to use it.
