I turn on my paper shredder, I can hear it on my PC speaker system.


Besides what others said.
Doed your shredder use a Brush (universal) type motor? The brushes may
be dirty or worn causing arcing.

IMHO Shredders, power staplers, VACUUM Cleaners do not belong on a
computer circuit and NEVER plugged into the same outlet STRIP.
FWIW the surge circuit is now probably dead or weak if you *have* used
this equipment on a surge-outlet strip.


The shredder is plugged directly in a wall outlet of the other side of
the room from where my PC is hooked up.
