Buzzing sound from speakers when scrolling or mouse movement in Chrome or Firefox












0















I get a low frequency, low volume buzzing sound from my speakers while scrolling, moving the mouse or holding down a key (Type-a-Matic) while using Chrome or Firefox.
This does not happen on other operating systems on the same machine.
No sound when no screen movement.
The buzzing also occurs on the current Google screen with the Beethoven cartoon, even when it's not playing!



If no mouse/keyboard/scrolling/screen activity, no buzz.



This is an old Dell machine running Ubuntu 18.04.02.



Any suggestions?
