Annoying buzz

I got my hard drive replaced last year after it crashed. Ever since the new hard drive, as I start up my macbook, after about 15-20 mins and it's warmed up, there is this annoying buzzing sound. If I turn the macbook perpendicular to the ground, you can hear the sound fade away. However, sitting on my desk or in my lap it drives me NUTS! Any ideas on how to get this fixed?
Took it to get it repaired, and they said they found no problems... Guess I didn't stress that it only does it when the computer is warmed up...

OK. It only does it as long as the info is flashed along the bottom of the screen. As soon as the info dissapears, the humming stops. Its also does it when I bring up menu or guide.

  • Annoying Buzz from Apple TV. Ground loop?

    I recently installed a surround sound system. When I use my Apple TV (2), I get this annoying buzz. My TV (Samsung Plasma) is not plugged into cable. I've tried plugging my subwoofer and Apple TV into different outlets with no luck. How can I fix this?

  • Annoying buzzing in the earpiece...anyone else have it?

    In the last month, I been noticing a consistent buzzing in my ear with each call I make. My connections are filled with lightly audible static and buzzing noises, which over time, become quite irritating. After about 10 minutes, my ears begin aching slightly, and it becomes an unpleasant listening experience. It doesn't seem to be a connection problem, since when I use my headphone, I don't hear them.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Or do I have a defective speaker?
    Also, does anyone else get the impression that this phone emits a lot of radiation/waves? Sometimes I feel like my brain cells are frying, and the monitor on my old PC as well as my amplifier goes ballistic when the phone is nearby.
    What exactly has been documented regarding the safety of this device? Just curious, if anyone out there knows and could put my mind at ease.
    Thanks all.

    Do not modify the partition map while running Windows, or your Mac OS X partition will not work properly again. Do all partitioning from Disk Utility.

  • Annoying Buzzing with DDTS-100

    Hi,
    I have had a set of T-7900 speakers for about 6 months now and I've has no problems with them. They were being used in conjunction with an Audigy 2 ZS.
    I decided to purchase the DDTS-100 decoder for my other devices to use the speakers. But when I have it all setup on the speakers on there is a loud buzzing sound. For those of you who have the DDTS-100 you will know you can switch between PC and source. When I flick it to decoder the buzzing stops.
    Any ideas what's causing this?

    i have the xfi xtreame music and the g500 get great 5. sound on movies and games.dont need anyting else hope this hel

  • ISIGHT RECORDING: HOW TO GET RID OF AN ANNOYING TREBLE BUZZING SOUND ???

    I AM USING 'Griffen iMic' DEVICE TO CONNECT THE MICROPHONE TO THE MAC BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM USING iSIGHT; EVERY TIME I WANNA RECORD SOMETHING, I GET THIS RATHER ANNOYING BUZZING TREBLING SOUND. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER IT'S THE iSIGHT OR THE iMIC OR EVEN THE CABLE ¿
    DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS?
    I HAVE TRIED TURING DOWN THE 'INPUT VOLUME' (IN SOUND SECTION) BUT THAT JUST DISTORTS THE QUALITY.
    HELP ME OUT HERE. THANKS.

    Try any of these suggestions that you have not already done in any order you think appropriate:
    (0) Verify that you have followed the directions in your iMic Quick Start Guide:
       http://www.griffintechnology.com/manuals/0000/0062/iMicQSGuide1_00.pdf
    Be sure to set iMic's Mic/Line Level Switch correctly.
    (1) See iMic's Product Support: http://www.griffintechnology.com/support/products/imic and any of the articles there that might help you. Here are a few examples, but check the others to see which apply to your system's issue:
    Verify your Mac's settings as explained in this article:
      How Do I Use the iMic in GarageBand? (Mac)
    Other software may work better with your iMic/mic combination:
      What kind of software can I use with it? (Mac)
    Adding a preamp, mixer, or impedance matching transformer may give better results:
      I've plugged in my $150 mic and it doesn't work. (Mac and PC)
    (2) Test with no peripherals other than iMic connected to your MBP to eliminate interference from some other device as the possible source of the noise.
    (3) Test with your iMic connected to your MBP's other USB to eliminate a problem with one particular USB connector as the possible source of the noise.
    (4) Test a different audio input device on both USB ports of your MBP to eliminate your Mac's USB circuitry as the possible source of the noise.
    (5) Try your iMic/mic combination on another Mac to eliminate your particular Mac as the possible source of the noise.
    (6) Test your Mic, including its On/Off switch on some other audio system to eliminate the mic, its switch, or its cable as the possible sources of the noise.
    (7) Try a different iMic with your MBP and mic to eliminate your particular iMic as the possible source of the noise.

  • Annoying intermittent buzz

    I've a week old iphone connected to a aluminum imac with a set of external powered speakers.
    The last two days I've been getting a very annoying buzz about 2-4 seconds long. It happens on a somewhat random basis usually every couple of minutes.
    It didn't have this issue the first few days. As far as I know everything is the same as when I first hooked it up other than perhaps a volume setting.
    I know I can move it into another room, but I was hoping I could keep it connected to my computer.

    You are hearing "GSM buzz", an artifact of the TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) protocol used by GSM cell phones. It is the result of improperly shielded cables to your speakers. GSM powers the transmitted signal on and off many times per second so several phones can share the same channel and tower. Each time it is switched on or off it creates an electromagnetic pulse that is being picked up by any cables near the phone (it's similar to the "pop" you sometimes hear on am AM radio when turning on a light). Properly made audio cables have a ferrite "bead" around the cable that absorbs these pulses. So the solution is to get ferrite beads for your existing cables (Radio Shack used to have them), get new cables, or move the cables away from the phone.
    This happens with all GSM phones, BTW, not just the iPhone.

  • Ultrabook/Notebook freezing and making loud buzzing noise

    I just received via UPS a HP Pavilion 11 x2 PC 11-h010nr for my daughter for Christmas.  I decided to let her open it as her one before Christmas present and I am glad I did.  She went into xbox music to listen to her new beats audio sound.  On about the 3rd song the loudest annoying buzzing noise came out of the screen portion and the screen was frozen (she had it detached from the keyboard).  She hit the power button and the noise stopped.  She got back into xbox music and about the 2nd song this time it did it again.  She started to cry and very upset because she thought it was broke and would take a very long time for us to get it fixed and she gets a replacement.  Needless to say her Christmas has just turned into a really bad Christmas.  Also today I brought the notebook with me to work to see if the problem continues and as I was putting the song on Pause/Play the noise occured, the screen did not freeze but the noise did occur.

    Hello mickeymom44,
    The notebook would still be covered by the  warranty, I recommend calling our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl

  • Audio problem; buzzing noise (HP Spectre XT TouchSmart 15-4011nr)

    Hi, I recently bought an HP Spectre XT TouchSmart 15-4011nr Ultrabook. I'm getting this annoying buzzing noise while listening to music or streaming movies. The store change my laptop for another one and after a few minutes listening I got the same behaviour on the new (same model) laptop. Is this a model problem? Is there anyone with the same problem?

    Solution found for me.  First, a little background.   I have a HP Spectre XT Touchsmart 15-4010NR and also have the same annoying  buzzing noise.  Usually lasts less than a second and is intermittent.  Counted it 13 times in four minutes of a YouTube audio file.  Time between the buzzes varies significantly ranging from a second or two to over a minute.  Once during the four minutes the audio cut out completely for less than a second.  My solution, I unplugged the AC adapter.  No more problem whatsoever as long as I'm on the battery.  Tried this multiple times, plugging the AC back in for a few minutes, then the same on battery.  The result, the buzzing occurs only when the AC is plugged in, and does not occur at all when on battery power.  The AC power adapter provides power and charges the battery normally.  Not sure what to conclude from this.  I suppose the AC power adapter or cord could have an issue.  Not going to go out and buy another one to test whether this is the case.  It's an inconvenience, but I'll just unplug the AC power when listening to audio.  If I listened to long recordings or movies this could become a real issue.  I'd be curious to know if it's a hardware problem, or something I could adjust in the settings on the computer, or something else like a grounding issue.   Interested if others can confirm my findings and expand on them.  out

  • Dynex 32 Led LCD tv 720p buzzing sound

    I've had this tv less then a week. When it's off It makes an annoying buzzing sound unless you cut out the power to the tv. Model number dx-32e250a1. I contacted dynex directly they told me its normal and to unplug the tv and hold the power button for a minute. I've also been reading people's complaints and there's a lot of people in the same boat as me. I'm wondering if this will lead me problems down the road if i keep it. Or should I return it? It's in my room and connected to a strip. I just cut the power so I can sleep without the noise. It's my only complaint with it. Otherwise great tv for the buck =\

    Really depends on how loud the buzzing is. If it intrudes on TV volume at normal levels, then take it back.

  • T61 Buzz coming from upper left hand side when on battery power.

    I have had 2 or 3 T61's exhibt the same problem. When the laptop is on battery power, I hear a very annoying buzzing noise coming from the upper left hand corner of the laptop. It seems to originate right next to the exhaust vent next to the speaker. Does anyone know what can be causing this? I have the most recent BIOS update as well. The second the unit is plugged back into A/C power, the sound disappeares.
    Its driving me crazy!!

    This is a hardware problem or glitch with the older Core 2 Duo processor, it was industry wide problem, there is no real fixes for it, other than to turn power saving features off and put the processor at max performance on battery.

  • Buzzing/whining sound coming from top left keyboard area...?

    For a couple of months now (I think, I can't pinpoint when exactly this started), there has been an annoying buzzing/whining sound coming from the very top left part of my keyboard (I think). It happens when the computer is on and dies down once I turn it off but kind of does a very quiet "tick-tick" thing for a few minutes after shutdown. At first I thought it was the screen because it sounds like it's coming from the very bottom left corner of the screen (or the very top left corner of the keyboard, I can't tell)... but adjusting the brightness doesn't seem to affect it. It increases when I'm typing or moving the cursor and decreases when I'm not doing anything, but it's always present. I have checked my hard drive and everything's okay, so I'm not sure what it could be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Performance hasn't been affected (as of yet), so it's just more of an annoyance.
    Another thing - for a while now (probably over a year), the screen has been flickering intermittently. It will go darker to lighter to darker to lighter quickly whether the screen has been on only a few minutes or several hours. This seems to have decreased lately, but maybe the two issues are related...?
    I got my MacBook soon after they came out with the first black one, whenever that was.
    Thanks for your help!

    Why not answer my question if you want help? Does your "ordinary keyboard that has midi capabilities" have a transpose function or a split keyboard mode that you may have accidentally activated? Did you try the solution I offered you?

  • Buzz/alert sound every two minutes

    Since installing Yosemite, my iMac has starting making and annoying buzzer/alert sound approximately every two minutes. I've captured a recording of it here.
    Can anyone tell me what this is? It's driving me crazy! I've installed Sound Bunny which shows you all the applications that a making sound and it's not reporting any applications. I don't have any notifications and have closed all applications.
    Thanks

    do you happen to use airmail 2? I had the exact same problem and I went to settings -> general -> sounds and unchecked that box and that solved the problem.
