can PC noise damage speakers?
Not sure if it will damage your speakers, but your computer should not be making noises when you are scrolling or doing other tasks. You should look into getting your computer running a bit more optimally. 
HELP I think I have an electrical issue??
Well, unfortunately the fix was short lived, as the heater starting up is just much quieter than before and I could barely hear it. When I tried the paper shredder though, it came through very loud through my speakers. Oh well, I am going to try n...
