Is it faulty??
You may want to post your question on your iPod classic in this discussion: should post the question at the iPod classic discussions at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=204
Normally, a new loud clicking sound, where it was previously quiet in comparison, from a hard drive is indicative of a pending hard drive failure. If the iPod is new, it's possible that the drive has issues, in which case you should take it to your local Apple store to determine if there's an issue.

  • Clicking sound when playing videos in Safari

    When I play videos in Safari I gett a clicking sound.  If I try the same video in Chrome I do not hear these clicking sounds

    Hi, everyone.  This is Joey from Bongiovi Acoustics.  This is a frustrating and known issue that arose with the release of Mavericks. Click here for our help topic on the issue. 
    The solution is not to uninstall Digital Power Station (DPS) but to quit the application from the task bar when the issue arises. 
    Allow me to explain in detail:
    The Digital Power Station plugin works by capturing all system audio using a virtual audio output driver (a kernel extension called DPSReflector).  The audio then goes to the Digital Power Station application where we apply the Bongiovi DPS audio processing.  Then processed audio flows out to the physical output on your Mac that you choose in the DPS preferences window.
    When you quit the DPS application from the task bar menu, the DPSReflector is taken out of the audio path and your standard connection to the audio hardware is restored.  There is no need to uninstall DPS.  When you want to listen to music or non Quicktime X powered video, you can just restart DPS from Launchpad.
    Unlike most applications (word processors, video games, Photoshop etc) the use of a kernel extension vastly complicates our interaction with OSX.  Up through OSX 10.8 the kernel extensions that captured audio worked great.  These include the famous Soundflower by Cycling 74 as well as our own DPSReflector.  Apple provided tools to developrs to fine tune them and their interactions with OSX and the world was happy.
    With OSX 10.9 things seem to have changed.  See our forum topic on the issue. The tools for profiling audio processes at a lower level no longer seem to work properly.  And documentation about the changes to CoreAudio is incomplete.  We have had an open bug report with Apple's driver support team for several months and we are consulting with experts on OSX kernel extensions to resolve the issue.  As you can imagine, the lack of movement on this issue is frustrating.  We can't see inside of CoreAudio to see how it is built at a deep level.  So without documentation or good developer support we are at a standstill for fixing the issue.  As soon as we get actionable information from Apple we will fix the issue immediately and push out an update.
    We are dedicated to providing our users with amazing audio and we go to great lengths to see that their experience is the very best we can offer.  Our hope is the fine folks at Apple with get back with us and provide good data that we can use to squash this bug.  Feel free to keep up to date on our progress at our forums. 
    Thanks for your patience!

  • Safari clicking sound when playing video.

    Issue has been with me on my (mid-2012) MBPretina since I got it (I think). Video on any website has a consistent glitchy clicking sound (no actual video issues) but no issues in Chrome. Haven't tried other browsers and video in other apps (iTunes etc have no such problems)
    I have now upgraded to Mavericks and the issue persists.
    I'd rather not use Chrome so...
    <Edited by Host>

    If the video requires Flash ..
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Now try a video.

  • Clicking sound when charging and playing

    My ipod makes a really weird clicking sound when it's charging and playing music and videos either though the clicker isn't on.

    I have tried just about everything very methodicly.
    Got Tune Tech for iPod software and cleaned everything, tried the diagnostic mode to see if everything was OK. I was thinking on the lines of some sort of macanical/electronic failure (SDRAM) but everything was all right
    So I plunged in and retrograded to firmware 1.2 and VOILA !
    The instructions found on MacIntouch were very simple and easy to do.
    My faithfull 5G iPod is back to good working order....for now !
    No more freeze when charging.
    I hope Apple will adress this firmware problem in the next update.

    This solved my problem:
    In IE, go to Internet Options from the Tools drop down.
    Click on Advanced.
    Scroll down to Multimedia.
    Look for unchecked box for 'Play sounds in web page'
    Check the box.
    Get out of settings and IE altogether.
    Now try IE and see if it works.

  • No sound when playing AVI file

    I've looked through the forum and downloaded Perian and DivX and tried deleting the DivX files out of the Quicktime folder, but still no sound when playing one of all my AVI files. If I click on the icon for the video, I can play it through there with sound, but when I actually open the file in Quicktime, there's no sou
    This plays sound:
    But there's no sound when actually opened.

    Did you try both Quicktime applications?  There is also Quicktime 7x which is located inside the Utilities folder. 

  • No sound when playing a DVD...

    I replaced my DVD ROM with an HP dvd 1040i DVD R/RW and there is no sound when playing a DVD? I loaded the Nero 7 essentials software that came with it. My system is a HP compac dc7600 Small Form Factor. I am running Windows XP-Pro and IE8.

    Hi:
    Interesting...
    Does your onboard audio work when listening to music files or playing a video on the internet?
    If you have sound normally but not thru the DVD player, try this free DVD playing software. I use it all the time. See if that fixes the audio problem.

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I have updated to 12.1. Still no sound.

    I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I updated to 12.1, but still no sound in any clips. Even not on old files which used to work.

    bfun
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? Can we assume that this audio plays back OK
    on the same computer when you are using a computer player independent of Premiere Elements?
    What are the properties of these clips that worked before but do not know with regard to sound
    For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Have you checked the Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings? Do you have any 3rd party audio devices incorporated in your computer environment?
    Please delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if that does not work, then the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. The Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit path is
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    and, in the 12.0 Folder, is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    Do you have installation files or installation disc with the purchased serial number in case we need to resort to uninstall/reinstall?
    We will be watching for your follow up.

  • PSE13: no sound when playing AVCHD videos

    In the PSE 13 Organizer I'm not getting any sound when playing AVCHD files:
    These files play just fine in PSE12
    These files play just fine in Premiere Elements 13 and 12
    The files are from various cameras (Sony RX100M3, Sony and Panasonic camcorders)
    Other video formats work fine (e.g., .wmv, .mov files from an iPhone, .avi etc)
    Any ideas? A quick search indicates this problem has occurred occasionally over the last several years across various versions of PSE.
    Thanks

    Hi Anewsha
    I use .mts.
    To clarify : The problem occurs in the organizer part, where sound
    disappears after palying 30 seconds. I run a fairly powerful computer, Core
    i7, 16 G Memory with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750
