When I move the cursor or zoom in Google Earth this weird sound comes from the PC speakers if the op-amp is cranked loud. First part of the recording is moving the cursor in circles, second part is zooming. The zooming reminds me of a teletype, teleprinter. Anyone else get this sound ?

I was just trying to describe this sound to a friend, and you captured the most incredible specimen! This is interference between the video card and the sound card in your computer. The video card is emitting electrical signals that should probably be contained, and the sound card isn't completely shielded, so the video card effort ends up in the audio signal. Beautiful and haunting.
