I also noticed that > the noise disappear when using OSS after unloading > Alsa modules. I'm unfamiliar with both your Satellite and your Red Hat, so perhaps I should keep my mouth shut. But the combination you describe makes me think of how Alsa mutes the mike (and everything else) and OSS (I think) doesn't, so if your machine has a built-in mike, you may be mixing in computer and other background noises without realizing it, until you run Alsa and it mutes the mike. If I'm write, setting a mute mike with aumix, say, doing a save there, and then running aumix -L when you log in, might solve the problem.
