I am experiencing a
hum or high-pitched
tone when recording
and listening to my
vinyl on my laptop
computer.

Try plugging your laptop into a different power
outlet.
Run the laptop on batteries (not viable for long
periods of time).
Use a 3-to-2 prong adapter for your laptop's power
supply so that the laptop ground is not connected
to the mains outlet. Contact your computer
manufacturer for any safety concerns before doing
this.
Plug your laptop into a power outlet which has a
separate ground (like an earth ground) from the
other audio devices.
