Resume from standby causes high-pitched tone from speakers.

My system had been working flawlessly for a few months, until recently. Now, whenever I resume the system from standby (in Windows XP, btw), an extremely high-pitched tone plays through the speakers.

The weird thing is, other sounds play normally (like music, system sounds, etc). But the high-pitched sound is so overbearing, it forces me to restart the system (which, when I do, the sound is gone).

Any ideas? It only ever happens when resuming from standby, and it's very annoying since it pretty much means I can't use standby.
 
Most likely your mic is unmuting itself causing this noise ? check your audio setting and configure mic to an empty channel/low volume with no boost.

That was it!

I went through all my running processes and killed 'em one-by-one to see if was one of them, and it turns out it was that simple. D'oh!

Thanks!
