A friend and I have a new logitech webcam with microphone and there's a lot of "bird like" screeching?

My webcam is hooked up to a usb hub (4 outlets)behind my pc and hers is hooked up to a laptop. They both installed easily and we have followed the directions re the sound tests etc. If she covers the microphone hole on her webcam the noise goes away but as soon as she starts talking it comes back. Mine doesn't seem to affect it. If we could get rid of this noise it would work perfectly. Can anyone help?

Answers:
camera and mic are too close to your speakers this is called feedback. move speakers futher away from camera.
Your next problem *might* be echo from the speakers...your mic picking up your friends voice from the speakers...

To resolve this, get inexpensive headsets w/mics.

Enjoy!
Both of the previous answers are correct ways to resolve the problem. Good Luck
It could be that the microphone is to close to another device, causing feedback ( a nasty screechy sound). A solution to this would be to move the mic' as far as possible away from any other cause of interference. Another cause could be a mis-match between mic and system, in this case you may have to swap for another device instead. You could try using a pop shield, a piece of nylon stretched over a frame of sorts, to cut out the high frequencies and external noise from other devices teles, radio's etc..
