Ok, it seems that my wifi+bluetooth module is too sensitive, or the italian 
version of envy has some bad components inside. 
Do you tried in a quiet root? Do you tried to place the pc near to your ear? 
I know, it seems stupid questions but the noise that I'm observing is near 
16MHz (sound frequency), so not very easy to heard. 

About the wifi, yes, brcm80211 is very fast, nice and opensource, but
when I used it, it crashed my pc several times. (each boot after 30min
of use), in fact there is this limitation to the number of CPUs.

Now I'm using the latest 64bit wl.ko module (released in december)
compiled by hand from
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php, and it works great
without crashes and at full speed. So just try it. (probably you will
need to remove the wl debian package before install it by hand)
