Buzzing Noise Question

[dsteinbe]

Hello. I am a new memeber to these forums but have been reading them for years, especially the hot deals section. Anyhow, I have a question about a buzing noise from my computer. It only occurs when I scroll through the browse list in itunes or drag around the maps on maps.google.com. I figured it has to be the hard drive, maybe the computer is accessing the paging file. Does anyone have any ideas what can be making this buzz noise during these few cicumstances. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

On my second box I too have this problem, my monitor (an old one) is right next to the box, does your setup have that much in common?

yeah, my monitor is next to the box but I do not believe thsi is the problem because the problem still occurs even when I move the box from the monitor. Do you have a maxtor hard drive?

If what I think is happening is happening, than there is interference from your monitor making noises on your speakers. Try turning off your speakers and scrool iTunes, if there is no noise at this point, than I am correct.

Are you runnning integrated audio? Because before I bought my Audigy2 I had the same problem, squeaky noises when I scrolled webpages.

The noise is not coming from the speakers. The noise is actually coming fom inside the case. I just can't tell what is making the noise. Any ideas?

My guess would be one of the fans.

I just tested to see if it is the fans by stopping them to see if the noise still happens, so it is not the fans. Any other ideas?

I know what you mean. My PC doesn't do it but my work PC does. I think it's something to do with low quality sound shielding or some shit? I use optical sound output on my PC at home so it always sounds sweet.
