Static noise from speakers (no replies)

I suspect a dying power supply but wanted to make sure. My headless debian dockstar has started playing static through speakers (attached to a USB sound card). It also plays static whenever I do any activity on the remote ssh console. Say dmesg or even ls. I also nsoticed that it does make a sound when I am running top and the programs swap places in the display.
Tasks:  55 total,   1 running,  54 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
%Cpu(s):  0.3 us,  0.3 sy,  0.0 ni, 99.3 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.0 si,  0.0 st

Looks like any I/O activity triggers it.

Has anybody else experienced this? How do I debug this? Any suggestions? Other than replacing the power supply ;-)
