SubjectConstant buzzing sound from a PS/2 mouse under Linux

I had a similar problem on my laptop for a while before I realized that it
had a built in microphone, which the linux default mixer levels set to max
volume. Hence I heard myself typing, fingers moving on the touchpad, and
even a weird clicking similar to what you describe. Try setting all the
mixer levels to zero using xmixer and see if the problem goes away. If it
does, I can email you a short program ( < 10 lines!) you can run on
startup to zero out the affected channel.
