Solution to problem: Switch to a decent web browser i.e. Firefox.

 

I can but still need to use IE8 for work...my work site does not support Firefox or anything else besides internet explorer

 

Ahh yeah, i hate that, i don't know why a lot of work related applications are dependent on IE...Well i can't say I've ever noticed the noise but then again I rarely use IE. I do live and breathe computers though, glad you figured it out.
