Audio makes buzzings/static noise

When audio is present, whether through the speakers or headphones, it is accompanied by static noise like a broken speaker cone makes- buzzes and static

Solved the problem myself; found there was an add'l clip causing the noise.

MacBook Makes odd Static noise ~NOT SPEAKERS~

I have just recently reinstalled Leopard after a hard drive error (possibly caused when I dropped it 4 feet :P), and everything was fine. But I noticed that my speakers weren't as loud as they were and they sounded kind of muffled. Then the MacBook just started making this subtle popping noise, but that stopped after a day, but now it makes this horrendous loud static noise out of no where, and *it is not the speakers* because I turn them down and it still makes the noise. The noise has stopped for now but if I try to listen to iTunes it is VERY garbled. Could this possibly have something to do with the hard drive or disc drive or any kind of hardware issue? Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Just because you turned down the speaker volume but yet can still here the static noise does not mean that it is not coming from the speakers. Since something is damaged or broken you cannot assume that turning down the speaker volume will keep an errant sound turned down also.
Since you dropped the computer from 4 feet the problem could be just about any hardware component, from the hard drive to the logic board.

IPod makes scratching/static noise

I got my previous iPod replaced because the headphone jack wore out. Upon receiving my replacement i found out that, after spending an hour or two in my pocket or in any slightly warmer place, the music the iPod was playing would become scratchy, static-y and eventually the iPod would go silent. It would still keep playing, but it would either not make any sound or make horrible static screeching noises. It isn't a jack problem because I just got new headphones, and the sound goes back to normal if i keep the iPod somewhere colder for a little while. wondering if anyone knows how to fix this, or if i should get this fixed. and if perhaps i can get it fixed without paying shipping, since i received a product that was faulty out of the box.

Hey, just wondering if you ever found out anything about this. I also have this problem and it's getting worse! I have to hold it up against the AC vent in the car while I drive or it screeches and crackles and then cuts out. Also, if above 80 or 85 degrees out I am out of luck for listening to it. I have to place it into the refrigerator for a few minutes to get it to play. Frustrating and ridiculous.

Dv7 beats audio makes a buzzing noise or some kind of speaker feed back

when i play music speakers sometimes make a buzzing noise seems to happen more on the bass side

I just installed a Mac Pro for a client. After a while I noticed this buzzing everyones talking about. It was especially bad after I installed two more internal drives. It seemed to come and go with HD activity. I pulled up the lever on the back of the machine when it was particularly loud and the buzzing went away. So like some others have noticed it's associated with the HD bays. I took the side off and adjusted the seating of the drives so they were exactly centered Now the buzzing is gone. I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe it will need some kind of silicone bumpers where the bay trays are metal to metal.
More research to come.

Does your Ipad speakers make a static noise?

Hi world,
I am curious to hear from others about whether or not they are getting a static hiss from their iPad when any system notification sounds or music is paused.
You may need to place your ear up to the speaker but mine is audible in a quiet room from around 2 feet and is rather annoying.
I visited a genius bar and they confirmed the static but the replacement iPad also had this noise so they were unwilling to proceed any further.
Am curious as to whether its just mine or other people have issues.
If you have had problems - Could you advise how they were dealt with?
Many thanks for your time,

Wow, these must be some E.T. iPads out thereplaying "perfect sounds" without this hiss in them (they must have some automatic-cleaning feature on, LOL).
The thing is that samples used for notification events are not perfectly clear and they have this "hissing" noise (not very loud though) in the background, basically "built-in" the sound samples. Mine does too, and every single one at Apple store (display units) does the same. Trust me I checked it myself because I was also curious to find out. Apple store is located just 500 feet from where I live, so going there costed me nothing.
True, this hissing background noise should not be heard from a far, only when you put your iPad's speaker very close to your ear (almost closing your ear-hole), and only immediately after playing those specific notification sounds. Hissing could last from few seconds, up to almost a minute, depending how close cropped those sounds were. I guess someone did a sloppy job at Apple when editing these sounds.
Don't worry, it's not your hardware that's defective, it's Apple's software. They could easily fix it if they clean up those system sounds and update everything with next OS update.

Macbook Pro charger static noise

So I have been looking at the different discussions about why some macbook pro chargers are making a static noise while connected to the mac, but none of these really fit my situation. For some reason when I plug in the charger in an outlet that is high up, like an outlet that is on the ceiling, so that the charger is dangling down, the static charge noise starts up. But when I plug it in an outlet that is on level with, or below, the macbook, the charger does not make any static noise. Anyone have any ideas why this may be happening? Thanks!

When you plug it into the ceiling, gravity is pulling the sound down toward your ears. When you plug it in low on a wall, gravity pulls the sound down away from your ears. What happens if you lie on the floor with your head below the adapter and its wall outlet? Aha! Just as I thought!
But seriously — I have never heard, or heard of, the noise you're talking about.

Static noises in external/internal speakers

Why does my external/internal speakers make a static noise when I plug my AC cord into the computer, but when i unplug the AC adaptor power source, the noise goes away but I am draining my battery?

took computer to apple store...i had a bad logic board

QuickTime always has static noise while playing audio

Every time I open an mp3 (or any audio file) in QuickTime, it plays a lot of static noise in the background. These audio files work fine in other applications (iTunes, VLC, etc) so i know the problem lies with QuickTime. I have tried re-installing it, but the same problem keeps occurring. Does anyone else have this problem and know what's wrong? I'm using QuickTime 10.3, on Mavericks 10.9.5

This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.

Hauppauge PVR-150 Capture, Audio Static/Noise IVTV Composite input

Hello,
This is my first post.
I have been migrating from Gentoo to Arch after 7-8 years using gentoo, I think Arch is great. even though precompiled packages have there downside. anyway.
I have problem with static/noise audio when capturing from Composite using IVTV, im running kernel 3.0.4 arch kernel.
I have 10 Hauppauge PVR-150 (+1 PVR-500) Cards running, the problem occurs in a random card after reboot.
Video is fine on all cards, but sometimes the audio on either one of the 11 cards get static/noise in the audio background.. sometimes allot, other times just a little bit noise/static.
I tried the wiki, and searched the forum, but can't find a solution, can anyone help me??
I can provide sample (cat /dev/videoX > sample.mpeg) if interested.
See dmesg: http://pastebin.com/U2JnJ0Zr
Thank you

Hello,
changing to constant bitrate seems to correct the problem,
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/videoX --set-ctrl=video-bitrate-mode=1
and then remember to not have the capture source audio volume to more than 75%.

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.

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.

TS3581 Crackling static noise in audio with 30 pin lightning adapter when battery is full

Anyone else get a really bad crackling static noise through the audio when using the 30 pin lightning adapter and the battery is almost full? I am using an iPhone 5, BMW iDrive with the Y audio and USB connection. I did not have this problem with the 4S and the normal 30 pin connector. The lilghtning 30 pin adapter seems to create interference when the phone's battery is nearly full. I also see the warning message indicating that charging is not supported - and according to the troubleshooting guide this is normal - but what about the noise????

Alright, another update: I tried another iPhone 5, which did not charge, and an iPod touch (without the lightning adapter, obviously), which also did not charge. Additionally, I tried the lightning to 30-pin adapter with an old sync cable and my computer, and it worked fine. At this point, it appears that the problem may be in the MDI cable coming from the car, rather than the adapter. Perhaps it was just coincidental that it stopped working at the same time I upgraded.

Realtek alc 892 static noise

I have problems with on-board Realtek alc 892 audio. Im running out of ideas of what could i do to fix this static noise problem.Im using Logitec z-2300 speaker.I have tried headphones too and all of them have this static noise coming trough.There is no noise with volume at 50% but beyond that it becomes audible.It kinda sounds like scratching vinyl plates or makes popping sound.whenever i move my mouse or type something the noise is coming in.Also when the cpu is under work(while loading something when i click the noise comes in)there are leds on my z77a-g45 mb that shows cpu activity and when they flash the static noise/whine is present.This noise exactly fallows cpu work.At high volume there is always barely audible electrical hummming...Disabling on-board audio in Windows does not have any effect at all.I get the same thing in bios...
What i have tried so far:
1.Uninstalled/reinstalled audio/video drivers.
2.Muted microphone,hdmi audio and recording.
3.Switched cable positions,including mouse and speakers jack.
4.Tried other wall contacts in my room.
5.Updated mb bios to latest v2.7
6.Reseated hardware inside pc/cleaned of dust.
7.Cpu oc does not cause this.Same problem with stock clocks.
PC spec:
I5 3570k@ 4.0ghz
Cooler:Coolermaste hyper evo 212
Msi Z77A-G45
Mem:Crucial Ballistix Tactical 2x4gb 1600mhz
Zotac gtx 560ti
Corsair cx600w v2
SSD Corsair force f80 80gb
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Thats how it sounds http://www.upload.ee/files/2898214/REC002.WAV.html Recorded with mp3 player so the quality is not the best.
Can someone help me out with this?

I have the same problem, have tried 3 PSUs, and nothing, the only solution was to buy an pci-e sound card.
The problem appear when MSI updated BIOS 2.0 to 2.1.
Please don't hijack other people threads, and why don't you flash back to 2.0 or the newest beta? Start your own thread and we can discuss this.

I took gtx 560 ti completely out but no luck.Also took psu out temporary and placed it on the floor.Not even a slight change
Taking the psu out doesn't really do anything, taking the mainboard out and placing it on a non-conductive surface is what I was recommending. Test with the cpu, cooler, 1 stick of ram, igd and y our mouse / keyboard. After some other things though.
Testing with a different PSU would be good to rule that out as the culprit.

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.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp51501-52000/sp51930.exe
After the installation has completed, restart the notebook and see if this has helped the issue.

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?
