Aaa... Ok I am not 100% sure about this but this is what I think and wha ti have herd: Actually I think the noise is because the system bus gets clogged when a lot of video is going through the bus which is common when you are draggin windows or scrolling in IE. Its a common problem on laptops where the bus speed is pretty low (to save power) I dont really know what u can do to stop it apart from try not to do oto much video activity.. and use keyboard as much as possible for doing the windowing gui stuff.

And also you might do a
chkconfig --list and see which un-needed progs might be running in the bakround that you do not need it matters what kind of Box you are running but i was able to shut off about 10 memory residents which made a nice difference
chkconfig --level 5 name_of_prog_hog off

Other things you can try:
- Run PD w/ realtime priority (using the -rt flag and a set-uid bit)
- Close/shutdown as many applications as possible
- Use a lightweight window manager (e.g. fvwm, twm...)
- Get a faster computer
However nothing you do can assure the absence of a click since Linux
is
not a real-time operating system.
That's true but you can use the low-latency patch from: http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/schedlat.html#downloads
I applied the 2.4.18-rc1-low-latency.patch.gz one on the 2.4.18 source
tree
and despite a few patching warnings it compiled fine.
Right now i am using it and cannot hear clicks anymore when switching
of
virtual desktops for instance.
It is very efficient for audio recording too.
