The bass subwoofer with my computer speakers makes a constant loud noise, what's wrong?

Question

My speakers are Monsoon (2) with a subwoofer. They've always worked well. Now the subwoofer suddenly started making a loud windy noise all the time. At first I thought it was an airplane flying over. Even with the bass turned all the way down, the noise is there. The sound has never been turned up very far, so it's not been "blown." Is there a way to fix this or do I have to buy a new set of speakers? These are about 2 years old.

Hi. I would check your ground first and make sure you do not have a ground loop. The Wiki section of this site may help you understand. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=ground+loop&gwp=13
