Sorry, I don't remember what have I done that time, if it really was me. 
I have reread that thread and haven't found anything except assumptions 
that it can be radio interference due to low quality power filtering or 
something alike. May be "szzzz..." is just the sound of your disk, CPU, 
CPU bus, some power converter, or whatever else. It may depend for 
example on powerd running or system load, or C-state used or whatever 
else unrelated.
