I've actually had this happen before.  Somewhere along the line either :
   1.  your audio and mouse/keyboard cables are coming into close proximity to 
one another.
   or
   2.  Your mouse/kb cable is very close to a specific speaker.

The solution is to move your mouse cable away from your speakers/cables.  I 
guess you could shield it if you can't move it.   Tinfoil around only the one 
cable at close proximity sections should do the trick.
