Computer language

Have I mentioned that I can hear my PC at the office communicating with the network and other devices? Strange but true.

It all started several months ago when I had our technician check some wiring in my PC's CPU casing because my PC would start up and then mysteriously shut down after a few seconds. He tinkered with a few things, moving one card to another slot and that seemed to solve the problem because my PC started up fine after that.

But then I began to notice spurts of static noise coming out of my PC speakers every time I print something or whenever my web browser is busy such as while downloading a webpage. It is especially prominent in the latter case when one of the webpages that I have up contains some dynamic content. (It's amusing to hear how often some dynamic content is being refreshed even while I'm not currently viewing the webpage.) I figured that it must be some kind of interference caused by some wiring next to the sound card where I plug in my PC speakers .

At first I found the noise annoying and was about to ask the technician to do something about it. Eventually however I realized that at least I can now tell when my PC is busy or has successfully sent a printing job over to my printer.
