Weird iPod Sound Problems

iPod Sound Problems - When Using Universal Dock

When my iPod is docked to my PC for charging it generates bleeping noises which mess up the sound of any playback.
Examples below are recorded from the Line Out of the iPod dock (which is usually connected to the aux in on my speakers) , The dock is connected to the PC by USB (The problem is exactly the same with firewire).
Noise audible whilst charging
Noise audible during playback
Noise audible during playback - Firewire/USB cable is disconnected about 21secs in

I don't have a clue why it does this - but it means that to listen through the dock I have to stop it from charging.

Any Ideas?

Dodgy hard drive perhaps?

Update

It only makes these noises when charging from USB / Firewire - the problem does not occur when using my Logic 3 AC adapter.

How Odd.

Did you damage the connector at the bottom of the ipod, so perhaps it might be sparking/damaged circuit.

Another Update

Just tested and it does the same problem when using the headphone jack on the top of the iPod(instead of the line out on the dock).
