stupid question.....it's not the grill is it? Make sure there are no loose parts on the enclosure or the grill that are vibrating.

i personally feel that you are picking up electrical mains interference from somewhere. monitors can cause this.

hmmm, would it just start suddenly? It is a good assumption seeing as i have two monitors and a tv above my sub and (I don't know if this has anything to do with it) my sub is not magnetically shielded. In any case, what should I do if that is the problem?

you could try moving your equipment around to see if anything changes

do you usually have this thing pounding??

turn the gain down on the back of the sub to at least 50% and bring the bass levels down in your sound settings (you should never have the bass fully cranked on the computer and on the sub...that's not what those controls are for)

How long have you had this setup??
if you have the sub pounding all the time with the bass maxed out then chances are you've either damaged the speaker, or it's on the verge of getting severly damaged

apparently, the sub is starting to bottom out, or rattleing something on your desk... if the sub is bottoming out, then turn your bass down, if something is rattleing, then chances are, its a picture on the wall, or something, typically, if its something rattleing, it will have a short delay for the rattle from the bass... if it was blown, then it would sound very staticy... also, open the box and see if the sound insulation is hitting the sub, it happens sometimes
