Okay...well I think that it's the monitor. The sound always stops when I turn the monitor off.
So, I don't know what to do now, but I don't really care. I'm just glad that I can prove that the noise has nothing to do with the clean install. Therefore, it's not my fault.
Thanks Everyone!
Try put the refresh rate to a lower one and see if that works.
The refresh rate for what? I can think of a lot of refresh rates off the top of my head, but I can't think of one related to the monitor.
Which one E!
control panel/display/settings/advanced-refresh rate.
Not sure, but think these only apply to CRT screens not LCD

Oh my goodness Hazelnut! What are CRT and LCD screens???
Okay, it was set at 85 Hertz and I changed it to 70 Hertz. Is that a good place to start?
Yep! It's a CRT
thnx H

Just thought that I would drop a confirmation. Dropping the refresh rate to 70 Hertz seems to have done the trick. After spending 2 hours on the computer that annoying noise didn't come on at all.
Very cool, and simple. Thanks again everyone.

I'll have to tell my aunt that because at the time I was installing all the software on her PC I couldn't tell where the hell that noise was coming from. Of course since she's a computer newbie I'll have to make an HTML guide on how to do it.
