Hi Bob, Rick, & Victor, Thank you all for the responses. There have been no electrical changes to the computer or in the computer room. The AC power plug for the sub-woofer can't be reversed and everything that is computer related is plugged into the large Monster brand. surge protector which has a grounded plug. I have checked all connections and all connections and plugs are secure. The humming/buzzing occurs whether the cell phone is in the room or not. I'm wondering if this sound could be coming from the amplifier or transformer in the sub-woofer. I could also try plugging the sub-woofer into a wall socket instead of the Monster surge protector to see how that works. Maybe, I just never noticed this humming sound before with the dogs barking, the wife screaming at me, & Doctor Phil consoling me over my computer woes. LOL Thank you all for the advice & ideas. I was concerned that the sound might be a serious electrical problem so before leaving the house I turned the power switch to the computer off, turned the Monster surge protector off and unplugged the sub-woofer from the Monster protector to be on the safe side. If you all have any more suggestions please, let me know. Anyway, thanks again and have a great week-end.
