Weird crakling noise thru laptop speakers?

I cannot touch either side of my laptop next to my mouse because it makes a weird static crackling noise thru the speakers, and the windows I am working in locks up until I take my hand away. You can just barely touch it with a finger and it will do this. I just replaced my hard drive, but I don't think that's it.

    But has it been like that since you replaced it. Thats one hell of a coincidence, it sounds like some earthing problem to me. Sure you put it back together right?
