Sorry for/about

Do these have the same meaning? If not, what do they mean?

1. Sorry about the trouble that I'm causing you.

2. Sorry for the trouble that I'm causing you.

Thanks.

Dear Jack112, It is perhaps that I may say either when the trouble is my fault. But I may say only «sorry about» if it is not my fault. But let us wait and see what a moderator says.
