The nice thing about electronics, and computers are definitely
electronic, is that everything can find a way to interfere with
everything else. Anything that can generate the "fan" noise in your
computer (cooling fans, disk drive motors etc) might be causing the
problem. Since it is rather risky to start turning off cooling fans, I
would suggest trying to playback those movies on a regular DVD player/TV
or a different computer to see if the noise goes away or changes in tone
or pitch, volume etc.
You might even try a different drive in the same computer and/or a
different media player. If you have a spare audio card laying around,
try swapping it. Weak or bad filters can allow noise to get through.
What can cause the filter(s) to go bad? Anything . . . age, heat,
corrosion etc.
Any of the above and what ever Gman suggests, that you can do will help
identify and/or eliminate the source of the noise.
