Ok. I was just surfing the forums and I heard this kinda humming sound. At first I just thought it was the voices in my head, but they aren't there right now. Eventually I turned up the sound on my speakers all the way and moved my mouse, and that's where it is coming from. When I move my mouse I hear "BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" come from my speakers and if I use the roller to scroll up or down the page it sounds like a teacher scratching a chalk board. Not loudly, but like in the distance. Not very audible even with the sound turned up all the way. And when I don't move the mouse or touch anything it's mostly static but with the sound of a tap dancer or something in the background. Like the dude from Riverdance.

Anyone else have this happen to them? I would feel a little more comfortable if you people had the same thing. If not.........any suggestions?

P.S. I'm not crazy. I don't just hear the sound of Riverdance in my head, and there's no bees buzzing around here or teachers scratching chalkboards.

lol I tested it out on mine.....turned the speakers all the way up...and FAINTLY (I mean really low) you can hear it...but barely.......dont know why....only when Im on the net it looks like too.....

try checking your volume control panel and see if something is turned up or adjusted wrong to see if it helps.....wierd that you pointed that out...

Yeah. It is weird. I ran into my room and hid under the sheets for a while. Now i'm determined to find out what it is.

Probably magnetic inference from your monitor. Try moving them away from you rmonitor a little.

I notice the same noise on my old 486 comp. I got rid of it by lowering the gain of the cd audio level to my sound card. Turned out to be pickup on the cable from the cdrom to the sound card. Dosn't seem to be a problem on my Athlon pc, I have most of the levels set high in the mixer.

Weak magnetic shielding will do that. I find it pretty funny when I'll hear that on a friend's speakers.

It's a crazy world in which we live. Hearing Riverdance and old squeaky wood through our speakers.
