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.
Audio interference from nearby chips is quite common. Using a digital
(optical or coax) output should get rid of the noise.
Such an option is often not available. AIR, what solved the problem for

(0/1)". But it's been years so ICBW. There might be /etc/hdparm.conf
in your distro but its structure is left as an exercise for the reader.
