Probably your computer's BIOS is set to boot from USB before hard disk.

Symmetric Multiprocessor. An SMP kernel is set up to be able to use 
multiple CPUs if you have them. A regular kernel will use only one CPU.

When i use a volume normalizer filter it stops the noise but it is not pretty good to listen because the music go over the lyrics, there are a lot of variations and it is unbearable.

Try muting all other channels in your audio mixer and see if one stops 
the noise.
