I noticed something very wierd. When I am running Prime95, I can hear a wierd siren-like interference sound coming from my earphones when they are plugged into the earphone jack on the front of my computer. Whats even more wierd, is that when i plug my headphones into the jack located on the side of my monitor, it doesn't make that sound.

At first I thought 100% CPU useage was causing the siren sound, but running Folding@home does not make the sound, even though it runs at 100%. Does anybody know what causes this?
