Speakers on my laptop are rumbling Arvo Jennings 02-10-2005

 Suddenly a strange rumbling sound is coming from my speakers, even
when i don't have any audio program running. It sounds like the sound
you used to hear on old manual phonographs when a record finished
playing and you hadn't lifted the tonearm off yet. (Or the sound when
you had just placed the tonearm on the record but it hadn't reached
the music track yet.)

At first I thought the sound was coming from my hard drive but was
relieved to find it was the speakers!

Anyone know what this is and what to do about it? Thanks.

How old is your PC? What brand?
Can you hear clear sound on the earphone or is it the same strange thing?
When you boot up do you hear it as well or only in the OS? Which OS are u
using?
and so on, more infos! With this little provided no one can help you
properly.

It's about 5 years old, a Compaq Presario 1825. I don't hear the sound
on the earphone, and when I plug the earphone in, the sound from the
speaker stops--then resumes again when I unplug the earphone. Have no
problem hearing music on either the earphone or the speakers. It's just
this background sound that is always there (though it varies in
intensity) and wasn't there before.

I use Windows 98 SE. Yes, I hear the sound when I boot up, before
Windows starts.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The sound is not to be heard on the earplug- but you can hear it on the
speakers, right? You could try to click the volumecontrol in the task bar
and to disable one by one to see if it makes any difference. First pitch
them up to the highest voume- be cautious not to hurt your ears.
It could be as well thew hard disk which is interfering with the soundchip
ot the cables- did you change the HDD some time before this?
If there is sound only on the speakers- you could open the laptop and see if
there is something wrong with them, dust, broken membrane,..
