recording in audacity brings up noise

[gijsdemik]

Hi all i have a simple qeustion regarding recoding in audacity
On my win7 system wen i want to record a song ive made as soon as i hit the record butten on audacity i get a audible noise that wasent there before

as soon as i press stop recording than the noise is gone.

Is there some where in audacity an option to not make this noise ie doe not playback or make sound at all but just pure record

and wye do i get this noise, becaus if i dont hit record the noise is not there but if start recording the noise pops up

Any body knows why? and how to solve the problem or is this normal?

Thanks already

Firstly, you posted in the 1.2.x section of the forum, but for Windows 7 you should be using the current version 1.3.12
If you don't have it, you can download it from here; http://audacityteam.org/download/

Next, to stop the noise when recording, in the "Transport" menu, "Software Playthrough" should be turned off.
