Well, I heard a funny story once. A couple of workers from a big nameless company where woking on (WindBlows) laptops on an American Airlines flight. Started out fine, but after a few hours things started to go wrong and eventually both PCs came down in a heap and wouldn't reboot. It turned out that there where magnets in the tray tables, designed to stop them rattling during flight. As the disks whirred round, they where slowly erasing themselves. Unless your have a chassis speaker close to your drives, I doubt that this is your problem, but who knows...
