I see. However, the presence of a hum or not doesn't mean the hardware
isn't at fault (if you want to break it down that way)...I'm not sure
this implies any problem with computer hardware..but connections to
ground. There are a LOT of things plugged in around here. If simply
turning a light on or touching a PC with your finger can trigger sound
out the speakers, neither of those actions has anything to do with software.
I don't hear any HD or network driver over the speakers...this
machine is very quiet, in fact. However, I fan touch another entirely
different PC and the noise from that action comes out of the speakers
on this PC. That physical separation except via the power system.
you mean the 110v power system? How about the network... does that
connect them.
Yes. both machines do connect to the router and to the power system.

It is not necessarily hardware... could be driver / software
problem. I have a box here that does something similar. I hear hard
drive and network noise over the speakers. But if I boot into
another identical XP PRO I don't have any noise problem. That tells
me it is a software problem. I have tried to track it down, but what
starts it up can change from one boot to the next. I figure the only
way I am going to solve this is a new build.
