Possible. Another thing to check is if you started using an APM monitoring program, like the GNOME battery_applet which reads /proc/apm every couple of seconds. With every read of /proc/apm the APM driver calls the APM BIOS, which on some systems runs quite long with interrupts disabled. On my laptop this results in exactly the noise you described.
