Specs:

Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

The Mic is an ATR1200 from Audio Technica

Here is what it sounds like (warning: loud and scary): http://vocaroo.com/i/s1MwmpGRjT4o

It goes away when I tab out of the game

Some threads I found said moving the graphics card helps but that isn't possible for me.

do you mean the microphone? because it is plugged directly into the motherboard, as are the headphones. But I don't see how the headphones would matter.
