I have a dp1.8gh G5, a MOTU 828 mk1. I just got a pair of Wharfdale Diamond 8.2 powered monitors. Anytime my firewire harddrive spins up or when its working I get a noise through my speakers the exactly corresponds to the noise the harddrive makes itself. Its not overwhelming but its annoying.
Whats interesting is that I never heard anything like this before I had these powered monitors. Before I was using Event 20/20's and a Hafler power amp. Maybe its a crappy power supply design in the power amp of the Wharfdales thats not filtering out whatever interference the G5 is sending on the firewire bus. For me it doesn't do it when the internal hardrive spins, just the firewire harddrive. But regardless the G5 shouldn't be sending that noise. Its got to be a firewire related issue. Is everyone else experiencing this with firewire hardrive, firewire interface, and powered monitors? Whats interested is that I am get the noise even with the master volume all the way down on my mixer. So its probably an interference thing with the power amp on the monitors. Maybe, who knows? Regardless its annoying.

(from other thread) I should also note, that I had this issue both my an amp/passive speaker set up, as well as powered monitors, no amp.
