Almost.  Here is something that worked on my GUS sound card from a
Pee Cee; it might only work in a ][ with adequate cooling:
 	Take a plastic bag, glue/tape some tin-foil to the inside of it
	Put another plastic bag around your card
	Slip the foil/bag over the first bag (and card)
	The foil blocks a lot of the noise and the plastic keeps it
		from conducting electricity.  Stupid but it has
		worked for me.
