can PC noise damage speakers?

is it possible for noise from the PC soundcard to damage speakers? I'm not talking about its system sound. I'm talking about noises that the PC makes when scrolling/moving a page, opening a new page, etc.; they're not really sounds, but internal noises. for example: if a scroll a page while the speakers are playing the noises distort the the rest of the music badly.
can these interferences/ unwanted noises potentially damage the speakers is some way?

Not sure if it will damage your speakers, but your computer should not be making noises when you are scrolling or doing other tasks. You should look into getting your computer running a bit more optimally.

I agree with Tmesselt - there is something wrong with your computer. It should not be making any noise as you describe. Doubt it would damage your speakers though.

You may have a .wav file turned on for each of the tasks you mention, hence the sound coming through your speakers. It is the same series of files that produce the ping (or pong) sound when you start or finish a task.

Commcat, not sure I understand your comment (is scrolling a page a task?!). these are not sounds from the OS like the ones it makes when you make a error or close without saving, etc.. these are like scratching noises that will interfere in the sound causing the speakers to distort. the solution in my case is to buy a better PC.
I'm just concerned that all this distortion may have damaged the speakers somehow. is that possible?
