Apple TV Static Noise?

I picked up a cheap LCD TV for the bedroom and connected up my Apple TV with £20 HDMI cable i picked up from Tesco. The problem is i get this static/buzzing sound coming through the TV whenever the Apple TV is in use.
So re-connected the Apple TV via component and analog audio and it sounds fine. So I guessing it's a HDMI problem?
But could it be a the fact it's a cheap TV? cheap HDMI cable? or both?
Or god forbid an issue on the Apple TV side?

Could be a number of things are you able to use any other components (different lead etc) to isolate the problem area.

Why is my iPod touch making a static noise?

My iPod touch (2 gen) is making a static noise from the internal speaker. Anytime that I play my iPod from the speaker or headphones, it makes a static and crackling noise. However, it does work when I connect it to my iPod dock. I have tried the five R's and none of them work. What can I do to fix this?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

BOSE Mk1 Soundock & 1st Gen iPod Touch + Electric/Static Noise**

I have recently bought a Bose Mk1 Soundock for my 1st Gen iPod Touch, at first worked fine, brilliant lil gadet, but then it started to generate a reeeely high pitched electric/static noise when the battery was fully charged when music was both on or off, i returned and got an exchange for a brand new bose which didnt solve the problem so i can only assume its the ipod, so i put in a service request with apple, off it went and came back 'un-repaired' as apple 'could not reproduce the problem/s'?? since then it has started generating this noise regardles of battery level or music on/off and is reely, reely, reely annoying and is rendering the unit virtually unusable with the bose, am i the only one who can hear this or is anyone else having/had the same problem??!?

Hey
Is it this noise:

If so, I'm having the same problem. I've emailed B&W support about it. It doesn't occur without the ipod docked. Doesn't seem to be a problem with other docks though, so it could be fixable with a firmware update. In fact, it wasn't ever a problem with the original Zeppelin firmware, only after the update.

Intermittent static noise in exported movie

I exported a full HD movie 5min 30sec long (i tried it using both Export Using Quicktime and Export Movie options), and my finished movie has periodic static noise throughout the movie. I don't hear it in the imovie program when i preview the movie, only in the exported .mov.file. Any ideas as to why this is happening? I've never had it happen before. Thanks!

Static Noise

I posted this on the wrong ipod thread, since I found out I own a 5th gen. Anyway, I've found some threads about the static noise problem in the Ipod classics. I wonder if anyone has experience connecting the ipod to a sound system such as the Kenwood or Pioneer Avic-X3, the latter I now own. These car systems are state of the art, and one of the few systems who allow direct control over the ipod. I wanted the very best, so I specifically bought the Ipod for this purpose.
The problem is the audio quality because of static noise is simply terrible. Even if no music is playing there is a continues buzzing sound through the sound system (probably the HDD) which gets worse when you turn up the volume. turning off the EQ in the ipod makes no difference. Pioneer blames the Ipod, and by checking various threads it seems this is a genuine problem. What advise would you guys give me, is it worth raising this with Apple by going back to the store? I can't believe I spend more then 2000 Euros on this entire system and having this crap quality.

Hi,
To start with, download and install the latest IDT driver on the link below.

After the installation has completed, restart the notebook and see if this has helped the issue.

Why am I getting a crackling/static noise on my macbook air?

I have a MacBook Air (mid 2012) with version 10.9.5. I keep hearing a crackling/static noise every time there is Audio output.
The sound seems to be coming from the top left-hand corner closer to the 'esc' key.
I have no external devices connected and I have restarted multiple times. If I mute my sound the crackling/static also stops.
Any idea what I might be the cause and how I can fix it?
Thanks.

The iPod does not use a cellular network It uses only wifi.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Try when connected to another wifi network

IPod making static noises

When I am in the middle of using my iPod (4th generation iTouch) it will make static noises then freeze. Then it will reset and not turn back on for at least another 2 hours. It just shows the apple symbol or the spinning wheel. Once it finally turns back on it will only work for about 2 minutes then do the same thing over again. Please help because I use my ipod for many things and its a pain when it won't work

Audio plays fine on the speakers, it's the earphones that make the noise. I tried using a different pair, and the noise SEEMS to be gone. Also, alongside the audio popping, the volume lowers slightly whenever the noise occurs, and sometimes my songs/videos pause randomly. I've noticed the glitch only occurs when I move my iPod, so if I wanted to just carry it from my desk to my bed, with earphones in and audio playing, it pops. Keeping it still, it almost never happens.
It seems as if the earphones I were using are just faulty, but using them on my laptop, they're fine. My friend who is also tech-savvy says it's possibly a problem with my earphones, and I think so as well, but with all this new info I just shared, is the problem caused by the iPod itself?

Static noise than no music

IPOD Video: I have the same exact problem...bought my back in November worked well till about three weeks ago. Starts playing than static noise excessively loud after 10-20 minutes of running. After static for a few seconds goes away including the music. I tried several headphones and my ipod connection in my car even the docking station connection with no sound. Several hours later it works again but starts the problem all over again. I sent it to IPOD apple for repairs and they found no trouble. I played it again seemed like things were ok but startes up again after an half an hour. I called apple suport so I shipped it out again. I haven't received it yet but its on its way back home and apparently the techs didn't find a problem with it. It seems like if the temperature is higher than 80 degrees it doesn't work right. I beleive the problem is in the sound card...if it was my computer thats what I would replace. Has anyone finally had their IPOD repaired from the loud static noise and no sound?

Yes I reformatted it and restored it without any change in playback. Most of the time it will not play any of the songs. Please help!!!

Ipad air 2 static noise

Hello,
I've got a question. Whenever I click on the address bar in Safari with headphones plugged in, or just while randomly browsing, I am hearing some static noises. Is that normal?
This also happens in other apps too. Tried different head phones. I am having a terrible first experiance as this is my first apple product. Thinking of getting a galaxy tab... I have allready exchanged my first one cause it kept popping...

Going by what you wrote in your second post, are you maybe hearing the Lock Sounds? Check under Settings/Sounds/Lock Sounds. If this setting is ON (or the button is green), turn it off, then try to reproduce the sound again. Having this setting turned on will make a sound (supposed to sound like lock being closed or clicked) when the screen is locked/unlocked with the Sleep/Wake button or when a compatible Smart Cover is used which will unlock/lock the device when it's opened/closed.

Headphones making ringing and wavy static noise only in windows.

I have my mac quad booted between 10.5, 10.6, win7 and ubuntu. Under 10.5, 10.6 and ubuntu, the sound works flawlessly. however, under windows 7, whenever there isn't any sound playing, or there is low-volume sound, the headphones will make chirping ringing, and static noises. They appear to be in a pattern, one that changes depending on the last system-sound played (i.e back button in windows explorer, or ventrilio talk sound...) or while changing volume. This issue has occurred with bootcamp drivers 2.0, 3.0 or 3.1, or generic realtek drivers, under Windows 7. (both the beta and final ultimate versions [fully updated]) Windows 7 has been re-installed multiple times, and these sounds have been confirmed to happen before any software other than drivers are installed.
I can't seem to find any solution that fixes these sounds. I know that it isn't hardware related because my other 3 OSs do not make this noise. Any help would be much appreciated.

Iphone 4s background static noise issue !

I paid a lot of $$$ for a miricle device named Iphone 4S.
I got :
1 - Phone that drains the battery for a few hours. ( this will be fixed I guess).
2. A device that gets very warm when used for half an hour.
3. Very,very annoying static ,buzzing noise when using 3G apps.
Many users claim this is a hardware issue. I'm very worried about that. Will a firmware update fix a hardware issue ?
Apple Support, could you explain in details the issue with the static noise in the background please and your action plan for fixing it ?

G4 400 wont boot and static noise when powering up

I tried turning on my friend g4 400 mhz sawtooth and it makes 3 loud static noises during the typical powerup noise. then it wont do anything else, the light is on, sounds like its running, but its not giving me anything. I am not sure what that sound is indicating. any help would be appreciated. thankyou

Hi, Dustin!
I'm no expert on this, but my gut says there may be a problem in one of two areas: RAM (the modules or the bus interface itself) or Video (monitor, cabling, or video card).
Try resetting PRAM and NVRAM. Try the NVRAM reset via open firmware as explained in the link.
Although you might not be able to successfully do so, disconnect all peripherals except for the keyboard, mouse, and monitor, and then try booting to and running the Apple Hardware Test Disk (if you have it). Otherwise, remove/swap around the RAM modules and test startup. Reset the video card and test again. If you have another monitor available, swap it and test again...

Iphone4 microphone makes static noises while I make a call using headphones?

I have iphone 4 32GB. When I make a call using headphones the microphone at bottom-left of the phone makes static noises when it comes into contact with anything.
It is really annoying as I hear loud noises while my phone is on my pocket and I am making a call using headphones.
Could you please help what could be the solution? Is this a fault with the hardware or software?
NB: I have recently installed the latest version 5.01.
Many thanks for your help.
Shaz

I found the answer myself, I actually bought earphones from a corner mobile shop for £10. and they happened to be fake and do ot disable microphone while plugged.
so the point is buy the original earphones from apple website.
