Chirping/buzzing noises

I don’t know what part of the forum to put this in. My computer makes a
buzzing noise whenever I scroll on any webpage or document. While
compressing files, it makes a constant chirping noise. It also makes a
beep whenever I minimize or maximize a window. I don’t think it’s
supposed to do that. What should I do? I have a USB sound card called
the Soundblaster Live, made by Creative.

Try disabling system audio notifications.

Yeah, those noises can get kinda spooky, huh? I turned 'em off on mine,

They’re already disabled, though. Maybe I have a sound card problem or
alsa driver problem.

I think the problem is my speakers. I plugged them into the windows
laptop I have, and noticed the same odd noises. It buzzes and makes a
whining noise whenever I maximize or minimize a window. I also realized
that I never heard the noises under Suse until I got the speakers. These
are cheap $10 speakers from wal-mart with no shielding, so that’s
probably why.
