You may find that the noise is your soundcard picking
up interference from your hard drives etc. Ive noticed
that if your CDrom/aux/mic inputs are turned up, they
will pick up interference. If you're not using your
mic/aux/cdrom etc inputs, you should turn them down.
Look at the man page for 'mixer', but from memory it's
something like:

mixer mic 0:0

I usually put similar lines in rc.local, one for each
sound 'device' I'm not using, as well as boosting the
treble to about 80 and the bass to 60, just for a
little more oomph :)

Hope this helped, its my first day on these lists :)
