Hi,
My definite solution for such a noise on my old ASUS L2000D was simply
to not provide the computer with its earth connection when plugged. I
first used a tiny piece of plastic bag to isolate the earth connection
from the pin of the wall plug to the mains cable but eventually I built
a custom mains cable (connection from wall plug to switching power
supply box) with earth pin not connected.
I do not have anymore noise in audio output (I used to have in both
internal chipset and USB interface...)
Hope it works for you and you're not too concerned about strict
electrical security (-:

Possibly it's a ground loop.
Sometimes, reversing power plug (i.e. swapping zero and phase pins) of
the offending device (in your case either one monitor or the laptop)
helps.
Hmm ... I'm not all that knowledgeable about electricity, but I thought
ground loops happened when you had two different paths to ground. i.e.
... devices connected to 2 different circuits. But, again, I don't
really know what I'm saying here.
