Buzzing sound from left of powerbook when tilted

If I tilt my powerbook at all I hear a buzzing noise coming from the left side of the powerbook. This has been somewhat recent and I wasnt sure what the problem was.
Any suggestions?

Likely it's a loose fan, which I wouldn't not take care further.

  • When i play a video or movie i get a buzzing sound from the speakers. how do i solve this problem?

    I get this  buzzing sound from my speakers when I play a video, or movie either from the internet or playing a DVD. What can I do to solve this problem

    A: There is no such thing as an unlocked iPhone 3Gs in the United States. ALL iPhone 3Gs's sold in the US are locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones, therefore it is not legitimately unlocked.
    B: Sprint is a CDMA network as others have mentioned. They do NOT use SIM cards. The iPhone 3Gs will NEVER work on Sprint. Ever. It's not physically possible.
    Either your Uncle misunderstood or he was mislead. Send it back and tell him to get his money back. Buy an iPhone in India from a supported carrier.

    Hi All,
    When I raise the sound from left side bar, the ringer icon shows as empty, but the same works well with my headphones on.
    Due to this my Music, youtube and other stuff are in mute in speaker mode.Only the incoming calls,messages make sound.
    Please advise what needs to be done.

  • Buzzing sound from headphones.

    I did a search for this issue and got a few results but unfortunately none of the threads seem to have a solution. Just started today, that when I plug my earbuds into the audio port, there is a loud buzzing sound from the left earbud, even pressing mute wont stop it. I tried restarting the machine but it still persists, hoping somebody here has had the same issue and can help.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks for the replies, I'll try and eliminate environmental issues, if that doesn't help I'll just have to ring customer care about it.
    Thanks again.

    My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers.  When I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay.  How can I get internal speakers back.

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Only sound from left with sum stack

    Hello! When I create a sum stack this happens (only sound from left speaker:
    But I want it to look like this:
    All the tracks that I used to create Sum 1 worked perfectly (like Sum 2). What to do?

    Hi
    There is no problem. As you said the notebook supports Line-in; headphone & S/PDIF jack and Microphone jack.
    If you want to connect the HiFI or another device you have to choose the headphone & S/PDIF jack. Only this port provides the audio outputting.
    The both another jacks provide only the function for signal (sound) receiving!
    My notebook provides the same jacks and I have connected the notebook to HiFI (5 speakers) via Y-audio cable like this one:

  • Buzzing sound from iPhone 4S headphone port

    Is it normal for my iPhone 4S to make a buzzing sound from the headphone port even though the phone is in standby and when it's on?  Should I go to the apple store and exchange it?
    Thanks

    Hello shludington,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    If you are hearing unexpected sounds from your headphones when they are plugged in to your iPhone, try these troubleshooting steps first:
    You can fix most headset issues with a few steps. Try these first:
    Unplug the headset and clear any debris from the headset jack. Then plug it back in.
    Make sure the headset is plugged in all the way. If you’re using a case, remove it to make sure it’s not getting in the way.
    Check the headset cable, connector, remote, and earbuds for damage. Make sure they’re not blocked or dirty.
    Try using another headset. If the issue happens with the other headset, contact Apple Support for help. If the other headset works, contact the headset manufacturer.
    Try using a different iOS device with your headset. If the issue happens with the other iOS device, contact the headset manufacturer. For Apple headsets, contact Apple support.
    From:
    If your headset isn't working - Apple Support
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • NEW BIOS UPDATE - Fixed buzzing sound from GPU?

    It says it fixed the buzzing sound near speaker and battery when on battery power. Could this be the issue that people with the Intel Proccesor have when on battery power it makes a noise?

    Hello,
    I don´t exactly know, if the bios update disable C4 states, to prevent buzzing.
    But if so, you´ll probably loose battery life, cause the cpu would´t get into lower power states.
    May be the fan (link in german) will be running more often, to keep the Nvidia chip cooler, also.
    I think if your TP suffers from whine, then give it a try or wait, till someone could tell us here
    about his experience.

  • Verizon Westel 327W abroad - Buzzing sound from the Power Adapter ?

    So I moved to Caribbean Islands for schooling and the DSL Modem from local company here was plain 1 port one. The voltage here is 220V, so I have put a transformer and then plugged my Westel 327W into 110V and it works great. 
    However, I am noticing a buzzing sound from within the power adapter. The adapter is running somewhat hot since I plugged it in a few days ago. Should I be concerned about this buzzing sound or is it just that its sitting on my desktop and I am noticing it now ? Its loud enough to be heard in a completely quite small room....
    Thanks

    Hi D_U, sorry to hear of your issue, sounds electrical and thereby out of my scope of support.

  • No sound from left speaker headphone out

    Suddenly no sound coming from left speaker through headphone output only. Records in stereo plays in stereo but no sound on left. Tried all the usual suspects ....no luck.  Any suggestions

    Nowhere near enough information to go on, really. If this is a switched socket and the speaker works when it's not connected, then there's either a socket fault or a headphone fault.  Try it with another pair of headphones and see if it still happens. If it doesn't, you have faulty headphones. If it does, then you have some sort of a wiring or socket fault.

  • Buzzing sound from earpiece

    No idea why it's happening had the phone for a year and a bit (out of warranty) and now I can't make out a single word without running around looking for heaphones all i can hear is a loud buzzing sound only when the other person talks it kind of makes them sound like a bee, is there a fix for this or can someone direct me to a previous post that can help?

    Hi again,
    I've tried a couple of things since I first posted:-
    There was no buzzing at all when taking a call through a pair of Astro headphones.
    Unplugging these from the 3.5mm socket during the conversation stopped the buzzing from the earpiece completely (again leading me to believe that the speaker diaphragm is not defective or dirty).
    The next call I made had no buzzing whatsoever from the earpiece.
    The call after that did have buzzing again (audible as soon as the ringing tone starts).
    Buzzing does not seem exclusive to either making or receiving the call.
    I hope this is useful in shedding more light on what's going on here.

  • 2011 MBP 17" 2.3 GHz - High pitch hissing sound from left speaker

    When I transfer large amounts of data (wifi and ethernet) I get a high pitch hissing sound from the left speaker. When the transfer is done, the hissing stops.
    Is anyone else experiencing this and is there anything I can do to stop it?
    When it occurred: I was transferring data from my old MBP to my new 2011 MBP first via WiFi, then by Ethernet (much faster . My old (2007) MBP had not hissing what so ever, by my new MBP was rather loud. I'm very happy it's only when using the network.

    I get this sound every time I download, WiFi or Ethernet it dosen't matter the sound is the same. I can't guarantee that it's from the speaker, I have an old Netgear switch that sounds the same when I use it (just to clarify: I'm not using that switch anymore or ever have with this MBP)
    So it could be some electrical sound (I'm not a hardware engineer) just a guess.

  • Why does my Menu Bar is scrolling from left to right when I call it and not stabilizing?

    I have an an XP Windows system and I use Firefox as my default Browser, I suddenly found that my browaer is hit by something that makes the Menu Bar when I try to use it scrolling all menus from left to right so quickly that I can't point to any choice and keep doing this till I end it by mouse, also the information in the Autocomplete are not accessible as they don't show when trying to get them either by mouse or by the down key. I don.t know what to do putting in consideration that I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and this did not solve the problem.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
