My headphones started to rattle recently. Then I opened pulse audio volume control I noticed that blue line indicating loudness of sound is always stuck at highest and it doesn't matter how much I will lower sound, it stay at highest point. It is the same with build in Realtek sound card and with creative sound card and if I enable or disable pulse equalizer. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04

Well looks like I fix it. And all it took to delete .pulse audio in home folder and hit killall pulseaudio
. There is no more rattle. You can mark as solved, in case anyone else will face similar problem and search in here.

Good you found your solution. That's what I suspected when asking for guest account. It is extremely weird that an issue from settings in your account should affect other accounts.– TakkatMay 11, 2013 at 15:57
