What is this buzzing noise coming from my speakers?

Question

I recently purchased a computer, and having noticed quite loud and annoying buzzing sounds while I am doing tasks or other things on the pc. I noticed it a little with my other pc, but with this one it's really quite annoying. If you watch a video that is really low volume, and you need to increase your volume on your speakers to max, you may be able to experience it, but it's strange because I haven't touch the volume on the speakers at all.

What is this and anyone to stop it?

Answer 1

Make sure you've plugged in the speakers properly into the CPU ports. I've noticed this kind of sound when it was a little loose. Also, make sure to keep them away from heavy electrical wiring by a metre or so.

Answer 2

There's probably a technical name for it, but for simplicity's sake its basically over-amplification/feedback. Try turning the volume down on the speakers and adjust the volume using the OSes volume control instead.

Answer 3

Try moving the speakers further apart.  Further away from the monitor and each other. If you have a store bought system where you can't switch the wires around like positive to negative or negative to positive then I would bring the speakers back for replacement - if the first idea didn't work.
