Disk noise in audio

I am running a Gigabyte motherboard with Mandriva 2008.1 and KDE. Using the
onboard AC97 for sound. and external powered speakers.

Sounds are audible in the speakers at low level which sound almost like
instability, but which vary with hard disk activity. Muting the sound with
Kmix stops the noise.

Can I block these sounds with suppressors, or similar? I don't have any
ferrite suppressors handy at the moment.

Doug.
