How big can be the noise induced into the audio signal from the interference
inside the typical PC? (I'm not talking of worst case or a really stupid
design, which could be huge): -30 dB, -60 dB, -90 dB, -120 dB?

Another strange thing: I have an ATI card, and when I scroll big windows,
especially those with bright white backgrounds, I can hear sometimes a
really high pitched and very low volume sound (close to the edge of human
hearing) coming from the video card or the monitor (hard to pinpoint). I'm
totally sure it's not coming from any speakers or headphones (I've unplugged
them). Am I crazy?
