…Sorry I dont have any advice to offer, only consolation. The company I work for has a few final cut suites and we have the exact same problem, I actually didn’t think that it was the mother board or speakers…I thought it was our XRaids. I typically only hear it while in final cut, scrubbing through the timeline as you said, so I assumed the chattery noise was the multiple hard drives. I’ll have to do some experimenting disabling all monitor audio to see if my chatter behaves the same as yours.
