I have the same problem. I've heard this in windows 9X with some programs wich just do what linux does, to cool the cpu.
I've tried a program wich just does:
main(){
do{
}while(1);
}
with the highest priority. (nice --19 ./cpu_sound). CPU time is 100% used,
but the noise _doesn't_ disappears.
I suspect it's just that I've a cheap power supply, and a Cyrix 6x86MX processor....
