You're probably hearing the processor cycling at 2GHz (or whatever) only it sounds much much slower because of all the dope you smoke.

I never had this sort of strange noise before.
So basically you say everything is ok

Are you too relaxed even to laugh at my joke?!

It sounds like crossover noise from some other peripheral - possibly this coincides with something on your network connection.  In electromagnetic terms, the inside of a computer is a very noisy place to be.

Certianly I wouldn't worry about this.
