It happens about once per minute with the resulting noise lasting a second or two


How to reproduce (step by step description):
Load up any VSTi and have ModPlug Tracker play a tune with it for a few minutes and it will happen.

I'm working alot with VST's and VSTi's, and I have a very good sound setup. I have never noticed a hiss though, so I suspect it to be an issue with one of the plugins you're using, or possibly something else connected to your computer (microphone?)

Can you make sure that playing with only samples doesn't give you the hiss?

Can you then make sure that a track with just one VSTi or VST will also produce the hiss?

Can you then replace this VSTi or VST for another and make sure that there still is a hiss?

It is possible that you have a VST plugin set to the master or something that enhances a noisefloor present in one of the VSTi's output.

Its also possible that you're using a plugin that has a demo feature (eg. not registered means adding some irritating noise to the sound)

Damn, you're right. One of my plugins is a demo. I went to its website, and it says

The Demos are fully functional. The only restriction that applies to demo versions is that they emit a noise about once every minute.

Thanks for your time!
