I recently updated to ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I am having this issue ever since, a weird strange sound like radio frequency but this doesn't affect any other sound, I can still hear other sounds like music with this weird sound playing in the background. This comes and goes, I don't know how it is triggered and how it goes. any ideas? this happens on the laptop speakers and headphones.

Laptop Specs:

Graphics Intel® Sandybridge Mobile x86/MMX/SSE2

And the following application was running at the time this happened:

  1. Google Chrome
  2. Chromium Web Browser
  3. Thunderbird Mail
  4. NetBeans IDE 7.4
  5. Home Folder
  6. Text Editor
  7. FileZilla
  8. Skype
  9. Dropbox
  10. Chrome - Notifications

    This issue happened to me again so I started closing the applications one by one to eliminate the problem software, guess what is was Skype.

    I had to close it to remove the strange sound, and I stared it again to use it.
