This is probably what is happening. I was wondering if there was a way to find out whether it was this or something else.
Whoa man .... basic CPU architecture ... register is a chunk of memory a computer has that it can deal with (think of it as fingers on yer hand). Translation: it's supposed to be shuffling registers and you cant tell which registers are shuffling and how they are shuffling unelss you decide to write your own program in 32bit (or 64bit if yer so inclined) x86 ASM. What does this all mean? Absolutly nothing.
Why? Because register shuffling is a blackbox event -- it happens or it doesnt happen and there's no way for people to find out (short of debugging/decompiling but it that was the case you wouldnt be asking). Now to deal with the sheer incorrectness of this thread: (1) you can't hear electrons bounce around. period. (2) even if you hypothetically could hear them the human body isnt able to differentiate between a subatomic object zinging around the speed of sound or the speed of light so you'd not be able to tell that it was an electron. period. (3) RAM chips, in anything resembling normal operation, dont make noise -- if they did your computer wouldnt be functional for very long
I dunno whether you were serious about "politely asking" but computers are no sentient organisms. They do as they are told (whether implicitly, explicity, directly, sequentiially or consequentially). Now before anyone can give you any form of help whatsoever I strongly suggest a few things:
1. Drop the similies and metaphors, this isnt English class
2. Address the various questions asked of you: namely your specs
3. You claim that your computer is slow ... slow at doing what?
