Well, it's not incorrect exactly (except for the t in uendeligt). But it's not good norwegian either. I would have said:
"med sus i ørene spiller vi endeløst".
A newspaper article translated it like this:
"med lyd i ørene spiller vi for alltid" (http://www.saltenposten.no/anmeldelser/article171419.ece)

OK, Bergino. I'll edit it according to your proposal.

On second thought, something in between your original proposal and mine would be even better:

"med sus i ørene spiller vi i det uendelige"

The newspapers translation is also good, but I think that "sus" would be better than "lyd" (although I do NOT speak icelandic):

"med sus i ørene spiller vi for alltid"

I think that "suð" has the same root as "sus", they look very close, different of "lyd", that in Icelandic is "hljóð".
If you take a look at the English version, you'll see that at the end it says "endlessly", so I just thought the best otpion was "uendligt".

I'm sorry, but you can't use "uendeligt". That sounds like danish to me. You'll have to use the form "i det uendelige".

Hei. Det er aldri lett å oversette fantasifulle og poetiske setninger eller utsagn av denne typen. Dersom det absolutt må gjøres, er jeg enig i at det må bli noe slik som Bergino sier:
"Med sus i ørene spiller vi i det uendelige"

Kanskje ikke direkte feil, men ikke helt god.
