I don't know about the source of your sound though - the only time I've had really high pitched (i.e. above what most people seem to be able to hear) noises from the PC it's been a failing PSU and a failing HD.
I'm not familiar with Wave Corrector, but it might be worth recording on the Beige and then editing on the PC. It's sound hardware is leagues ahead of most PC onboard sound, although there are exceptions (Nvidia Soundstorm and the VIA Envy24 chipset spring to mind).
Audacity is a good free audio editor for Mac - it's a little idiosyncratic but very powerful. I converted a whole bunch of vinyl a few years ago, and I've left all the clicks and whatnot in. The problem is that the sort of algorithms used for click removal also take out a load of other stuff too. The only post processing I did was high pass filtering at 16KHz (to remove noise - vinyl doesn't do a good job of reproducing frequencies above this anyway) and low pass at 20Hz (to help eliminate rumble).
Thanks for the suggestion, I never thought about recording on the beige and editing with the PC, might be worth a thought as the algorithm used to remove the pops and clicks in Wave Corrector is the main reason I cannot find any other software (PC or Mac) to duplicate it's results. Plus I use the Goldwave audio waveform editor as it is easy to use and I can record my entire album at 45 rpm, which is both faster and smoother sounding, and then convert the speed back and remove any skips using it's functions. I've experimented with many programs and this combo is the easiest and fastest method to achieve the results I am looking for, except for the annoying squeal of course.
