Commcat, not sure I understand your comment (is scrolling a page a task?!). these are not sounds from the OS like the ones it makes when you make a error or close without saving, etc.. these are like scratching noises that will interfere in the sound causing the speakers to distort. the solution in my case is to buy a better PC.
I'm just concerned that all this distortion may have damaged the speakers somehow. is that possible?
