If you are having a whine on a Macintosh (or any computer) with a CRT and
get lots of static on AM radio when trying to listen to remote station, then
most likely your monitor is set to a horizontal frequency 60 Hz. Besides an
extremely painful whine, this frequency makes your monitor flicker, because
it is refreshing so slowly. Over 70 hz should fix that problem. I run my
Apple Vision 15 at 768x1024 at 75hz in Linux -- you might have another
preference.
Another place for interference (especially on AM radio again) is SCSI
cables. They may be lose, have damaged shielding or really old.
