Asus G60 Low constant static in headphones.

[BIGASIANBASTARD]

I open my laptop (while its on) and touch anything metal with my skin and it stops.

It doesn't stop when I apply pressure using my fingernail.

Laptop must be on to hear the noise.

Static sound isn't affected by volume meter or audio being played.

Static sound is audible when audio is being played.

Positioning my laptop while holding it up in the air in different ways causes it to stop.

Laptop is 3 years old and I recently updated NVIDIA graphics card.


What is this noise? How do I make it stop?

Sounds like you have a grounding problem. I don't know how you can fix that, though.
Does having the laptop plugged in or not have any effect?

When it is off, the noise is not produced.

Thanks for the reply.
