"Speaker Inteference"

Just recently i seem to be some kind of inteference with my speakers. It's a kind of weird electronic squeaking, it only seems to happen when i'm on the internet and want to do something, i.e. click a link, scroll down, waiting for a page to load, etc. I think it only happens when i'm playing music at the same time, which is why its so annoying.
The speakers are Creative i-trigue 3400 and are about a month old but its only been happening last couple of days.

Any ideas how to get rid of it? Cheers guys. Oh and i've already checked all the connections are secure.

Try wrapping the speaker cables in tin foil.

I used to pick up local taxis, and something foreign (Lebanon FM?) on my guitar amp - a Spinal Tap moment.

I sometimes get the local fire brigade though mine.

We have the best interference ever on the speakers on the family PC.

Sometimes, when the PC is on, and you're not listening to music or anything, you can hear a very very quite sound coming from the speakers. If you listen very careful, it is foreign (French we think), and sounds like radio.

It only happens when the PC is turned on, and there is definitely nothing playing music on the PC - I checked carefully for that.

All I can think is that the length of the speaker cable is just right to have a current induced in it by a particular radio frequency! It's weird.

About a foot away each isde, is that far enough?

Are they near your monitor?
