Oh, okay - when I use the code as you described using keyboard arrows, it seeks
fine without any noise at all. 

However, when I use the seek slider in Totem by itself, it makes the noise. 

Here's what I'm guessing is happening - when the slider is used to seek to a
particular point in the song, GStreamer is fed a block of data that is
fragmented, but it still tries to play the data anyway, so for a split second
the data is garbage and it comes out as noise. When using arrows, the behavior
isn't observed because the arrows automatically "snap" to a whole unfragmented
block of MP3 data.

That's just a guess, though.

The noise that I observe now doesn't appear to be as loud as it was when I
reported the bug but the actual behavior is still observed, so it's a low
priority bug.
