E-63 unwanted noises

Just after I purchased it and before I put a SIM card into my Nokia E-63, the device was nice and quiet. Now, with a SIM card installed, my E-63 makes noises in middle of night that wake me up--long before the time when the "alarm" is set on the device. Can anyone help this now sleep-deprived user? Thanks. --Capital1

Unwanted noise when using effect?

So I am VERY new to Logic, and I finally figured out how to record audio. I am trying to use the effects in the library, but they don't do anything except add unwanted noise to my recording.
Also, how can I turn off an effect after I have selected it in the library? (Sorry, very new to logic)

Well, the trouble with effects is that it´s so easy to use add them just because you have them available. A chain of effects will probably do a lot of things that you may not want it to do.
Better to click the squares under Insert a Channel strip and chose the effect you really want or need...
Sorry if this contribution opens up a can of worms; the Instruments and Effects manual is really good. And searchable.

What is the best program/plug in for removing unwanted noise?

Hi I work with a lot of speech snippets in my tracks from old radio programs,films,documentaries etc and most of the time they have bits of quiet music in the background that I would like to remove.I have tried using logic's noise gate/de-noiser but find is does not get the desired effect that I want it to get.So I am wondering if there is a special program/plug in that can separate the sample so you can remove the unwanted noise I am pretty sure this can be done as I have heard a professional dance tune use a film vocal sample that I know has background music on that particular bit and somehow removed the background music so that vocal is just on it's own.
Thanks

Hi
Audacity will do the trick. Use the Noise Removal effect from the Effects ->Utility folder to render a track. You'll need about a second of the background noise alone for the plugin to analyze in order to process the entire track.
A lot of people I know use this for just the same purpose you will.
Its free... http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

Smoothing audio after filtering unwanted noise

I've been using SoundBooth CS5 for a few months and feel pretty comfortable with the basics. I can filter unwanted noise, trim, cut, splice, etc. But, I have found that on some occasions after filtering out noise, voices begin to sound, for lack of a better word, "tinny". Like the voice was recorded through a tin can. It is clear in the spectral analyzer that the voices were affected by the filtering.
Is there a way to add smoothness back to a voice clip? I've tried several of the equalizers, filters, effects to enhance male and female voices but it doesn't seem to reduce the issue significantly.
Thanks for taking a look at my issue, any help or thoughts are welcome.

Try Effects>Audio Filters>3 Band Equalizer.
This tutorial may assist:

A third party appliczatin like Sound Soap could be a better solution than FCE filters. Try a trial on your clip.

Unwanted noise when adjusting screen brightness

Are there any other new iMac (iSight) owners out there experiencing unwanted noise when adjusting their screen brightness to any setting other than maximum? Dimming my screen causes a loud buzzing sound similar to feedback you get with bad grounding.

Dyummy,
Thanks for posting this link. I am as puzzled as some of those posters are, since this noise only happens under Vista and not in OSX. In my case it also happens in the lower right side of the screen and only when I lower the screen brightness in Vista five or six notches using the F1/F2. If I lower the brightness using the nVidia control panel in Vista there is no sound either. The only problem is that the nVidia control panel is not very good and quite limited at lowering the screen's brightness.
I am still inclined to believe this is a driver/software issue with the nVidia 256MB card or the display. If your screen replacement helps, let us know.
Thanks,
JLC

Removing Unwanted Noise

Greetings!
I'm editing a feature film on Final Cut, and there's a scene in a nightclub. The dialouge is very clearly recorded, but running through all the footage is a bit of a hum, mostly from the power going to the lighting grid above the actor's head.
Now, I'm not asking for a step-by-step way of removing this ... if there even is one... but if someone could point me to the right filters to use in Soundtrack Pro... I would be highly grateful.
Cheers,
RickytheGriff

hi
I recently worked on a commercial where the camera wasn't sealed correctly and you could hear the rolling sound of the 35mm film throughout a very quiet piece with dialogue.
I opened the aif in the STP audio editor and selected a section where there was just the unwanted sound and from the Process menu choose 'select noise print' and then choose 'reduce noise' - there are some paramaters here that you can tweak and preview before you commit the action to your file.
anywhoo, it worked a treat!
here are before and after clips ...

Removing unwanted noises

Use the Invert audio effect for negating unwanted sounds.
Sometimes passers by cough, sneeze, clap...stuff you really don't want to hear. Copy an audio clip, after seperating from the video, into a new audio track. Match frame to the first but trim it to right before and after the sound. Select the new track and drag the Invert Effect on it. Unwanted sound should now be gone.
John

If I understand correctly, you are making a copy of the unwanted sound and subtracting it from the original. Why not just turn the sound down, eg with keying or cutting the audio and deleting?. X-X is the same as 0.
If there is also general background noise present, you will hear a break in the background noise with all methods.
In this case I go further and copy some similar background noise from nearby and fill the silence with it. If the noise was copied from only a short distance away, it is best to reverse the audio to avoid the sound sounding repetitive.

Unwanted Noise Recording Voice with GarageBand

Hi everyone, I'm using podcast factory as mic for my podcasts, and GarageBand to record them.
The trouble is, that even shifting a little in my chair is picked up by the mic, and I daren't type on the keyboard or really move at all for fear of putting really heavy noise on the track.
Im not sure what to do about this, as my voice sounds great apart from that!
Anyone help me out? thx..

Hello Nick,
Along with the excellent advice already given, here's what I would suggest: If you're using a desktop mic stand, avoid putting it on the same table or desk as your computer. You'd be surprised at how much rumble and hum the computer is creating. Also, use a foam wind cover over the mic.
If you don't have access to a "dead" room get a floor stand for your mic and record in a clothes closet. Yeah, I know it sounds stupid but I tried and got better results than sitting in my den. Rooms with hardwood floors, sliding glass doors and bare walls will affect the quality of your sound.
I'll mention one other thing that worked for me until I could afford better equipment; the Logitech 350 headset mic. It's USB and does a pretty good job of isolating your voice while you record.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

OT unwanted noises only in iTunes

I posted this on the iTunes forum, but no answer came back. I wonder if any audio pros out there might be able to cast some light on this:
My computer outputs through a MOTU pci card to an array of Motu2408s and DA/AD converters into a 40 channel desk.
All is fine, except iTunes. When playing audio or video from iTunes i get a gradual build up of crackling noise. It sounds like static discharge. It will build until the music or film track is inaudible. If I stop play it will gradually reduce to nothing, but will gradually build again when I start playing.
This doesn't happen in Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, DVD player, QuickTime Player, nor playing the same audio/video files in a finder windows.
Any ideas?
Thanks everyone
Peter
Further to the iTunes post:
I find my son has the same problem, though not so seriously on his macbook pro/M-Audio Firewire Solo combination. Again only with iTunes, not with Logic (Express).
All volume sliders (iTunes, DVD player and System) are set between 40 and 60%,

My initial reaction is that it's a clocking issue. I have had a similar experience when trying to play something in iTunes whilst Logic was open. In my case my Fireface 800 was externally clocked from a S/PDIF source at that seemedto be the reason why. Once I changed to internal clock, iTunes played corectly.

Unwanted noise when printing in laser jet 1018

I've been using laser jet 1018 for many years and all of a sudden it starts screech when printing. What can I do to stop this?
If there is nothing to do but buying a new printer which other printer uses the same same toner cartridge?

Hello magistern,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
The noise that you are experiencing could be cause by many different scenarios. The basis troubleshooting would include making sure the printer power cable is connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Taking a light weight lubricating oil and applying very little to the gears.
I realize that you have had this printer for some time. If you would like to see about some out of warranty options, I suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

Unwanted noise on an external image

I load a different jpeg image (ex: news) according to a
button clicked. This image is loaded over an animation mc playing
(default home page animation, for exemple).
The problem is that you see some horizontal moving noises on
the loaded JPG image as the animation beneath going on.
This is new with Flash CS3. It didn't happen with former
versions as far as I remember.
Is there any way to get around? or have i make the animation
beneath stop?

Seeing unwanted noise in composition - Both - Preview and FCP final render.

I have imported a logo made in photoshop (w/no background)into Motion. I have added the wave, defocus, and bloom filters to this one object... When I play it back in Motion (1.0.1) I see horizontal streaks appear at random in the preview window. It is random because each time I move forward and back frame to frame the streaks almost never appear in the same location. When I drop the project file into FCP the streaks are also rendered in the sequence. Any suggestions? When I play the rendered file back in FCP it almost looks like dropout. I am using the ATI Radeon 9800Pro Card. I just updated the drivers for the video card and it did not seem to help.

My 2008 Macbook Pro makes a loud fan noise.

Hello -
I bought my 15" macbook pro back in October 2008. I was very happy with my purchase due to the machine's performance. But over the past year I have noticed an increase in the fan noise. It almost sounds like it's hitting against something at a very high speed, hense this irregular fan noise. The noise also increases drastically when I am working on Photoshop or InDesign. I also partitioned my hard-drive to hold windows so I can work on AutoCad.....noise increases also as I work on my machine.
Why is this happening? Could this loud fan noise damage any internal component to the machine? Should I bring it in to Apple immediately?
Thank you!

Some of the applications that you mention are somewhat CPU intensive which creates heat and results in fan speed increase and hence additional noise (to state the obvious). However if you are experiencing excessive noise when CPU loads are modest it could be that your fans are failing as all mechanical devices eventually will or you may have 'schmutz' inside that is the cause of the unwanted noise.
I suggest you open the MBP and see if there is any dust in the fans that may very well be affecting their performance. After 4 years, this is not an uncommon situation and it could be the solution to the problem.
If not, then you may consider getting replacements from iFixit or Powerbook Medic and replace them your self. It is not rocket science in this instance. If you suffer from chronic fingerfumbilitis, then have the Apple store do it for you.
Ciao.

Audio noise when using VGA firewire

I am using a MBP 2010, purchased in August. I am running ProTools and AbletonLive out to speakers through firewire via M-Audio Firewire 410 and/or through the Digi002 Mixer. I have an external firewire hard drive that I have turned off during this problem, so it has not effect.
Additionally, I have an extra monitor connected via VGA to a miniDisplayPort>VGA connector. When I plug this into the MBP I receive a lot of unwanted noise out of the speakers. I have tried to unplug the power source to the MBP and the problem continues. I have the option of trying a miniDisplayPort>DVI connector to the extra monitor, however I have to purchase that connector.
Has anyone encountered this problem? Any suggestions on how to remedy it? It is really difficult to do any audio work with the awful noise in the speakers, and while I can do with just the MBP monitor, it is nice to have a second monitor.
Thanks

I have been dealing with this exact problem for years!
The noise is now doing my head in and I'd love to get it fixed.
Another thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1807161?start=0&tstart=0 suggested using a ground loop isolator. However, they were dealing with RCA connectors.
I am using a Fast Track MAudio Ultra 8r, with my Mac Book.
So I'm sure I could isolate the noise between the speaker and the sound card - but I would need to use XLR or TRS, which the thread also warns against using such a device.
(I used to own a Berhinger hum destroyer.
It worked a little, but not only did it seem make the signal sound thin, it also had Berhinger written on it.)
Both my HP w1907v display and my MAudio card are plugged into the same power supply.
(As are you, I'm converting mac minidisplay port to VGA.)
I'm starting to think it might have something to do with the cheap monitor.
What kind of monitor are you using?
Is it sharing the power source with the Digi 002?
Does the noise you hear also get affected by mouse movement?
Maybe you've found a solution already!?
If so I'd be very grateful to hear about it.

Getting rid of unwanted background audio

Hey guys, so recently I recorded some interviews in not the ideal location. As such the audio I have has background noise ranging from a waterfall making noise to small chatter of other people. I have tried to clean up the audio and get rid of the aditional unwanted noise but so far no luck. Either I can't get rid of the noises or it ends up making the person getting interviewed sound bad. The waterfall part is what is really making my audio unusable. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?

I agree that Audition is probably the best tool for Audio "noise removal," but this article has a few other options: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2860521#2860521
"Noise" can be tough, as it can be broad spectrum, and have many of the same frequencies as the human voice. With that situation, it becomes nearly impossible to "fix," but one might be able to attenuate that noise some.
I would also experiment with Jerry K's suggestion - noise reduction/removal is often a series of experiments with critical listening.
Good luck,
Hunt
