A couple of things to test for you.
1. If a laptop: Disconnect all cables but audio. If the noise is still there, try connecting a wired headset. If noise disappears it's the Speakers that picks up the noise by them self.
(Faulty speakers or the system pick up some electrical noise/interference from the appartment/house somewhere.)
Electrical interference/noise from low quality electronics is not that unheard of... You could start pulling out appliances in the house. When noise disappears...
2. If it's a desktop PC. Replace speaker output with a headset. If the noise disappears.. replace speakers with something better. Or feed audio to sound system by digital means(SPDIF/Coax), if your'e on the high-end side with surround audio. It might help if your audio supports this.
Copper wires are basically "antennas" so if there is something that creates electrical noise/interference that enters the audio system, and if its in the audible frequency spectrum for human ears... there will be sound. 😉
