so.. i can hear.. random digital noise in my headphones if i listen very carefully.. and im not really sure what it is, or why its there, are my headphones picking up activity in my computer and translating it to very low volume sounds? the best way i can describe it is a much quieter version of what many anime and tv shows represent as data becoming a physical manifestation.. i dunno.. its behind a layer of static buzz that i can hear change if i do things like minimize a window, or open a window, change pages etc.. um yeah.. not really sure what its about but any information would be nice lol

I don't think there's necessarily anything 'wrong' - perhaps you have good headphones and they're picking up outside interference.

Though I suppose you could 'solve' the problem by going on tour with MOTORHEAD and spending the next 6 months or so researching how long the human body can jerk about uncontrollably. Not to mention learning "The Wisdom Of Life according to Lemmy", with such deep philosophical pearls as “F**k this "Don't speak ill of the dead" sh**! People don't become better when they are dead; you just talk about them as if they are. But it's not true! People are still a**holes. It's just that now they're dead a**holes.”

You'll have a great time! ...and trust me: You will *not* be able to hear the beeping in your computer any more by the time you're done.
