E1200 - Loud Annoying High Pitched Noise.

For some reason the power brick for my Linksys E1200 router makes a loud annoying high pitched noise. Eh.

High pitch noises from AC adapters usually mean a protection component is either vibrating (may or may not be dangerous, depends on how well built the AC adaptor was), or that something is leaking electricity. The power adapter seems not to be functioning properly.

N95 - High pitch noise (hiss) and GPS struggling t...

Hi Guys.
Since I bought my N95 I can hear a hiss even when I'm not on call (all the time) and I bought Nokia Maps Navigation and it just worked once (a fews minutes after I bought this service). Now it's not working anymore (I've paid for 1 month service and it worked for a few minutes)...
Are those common issues? I read someone complaining about a high pitch noise (and saying that he had to change his phone more than once so it finally was replaced for a non-faulty one).
Any help appreciated...
Regards,
Daniel

I do not know, people just get unlucky, I think. As I said, mine has had no problems whatsoever since I bought it in April. None at all. No noise (yes, no noise at all) no flimsy slider, no problems with GPS, nothing. My experience is that most people who have troubles had a phone 'made in Nokia' (meaning some third world country with slave child labour)whilst every decent working phone is made in Finland, where it should be!
Check where yours is made in.
I must dissagree with you .. Mine is Made in Finland .. it came in grey box .. not the white one .... Mine has High pitch noise .... And about the High Pitch Noise you should know that not all ppl can hear it .. I have some friends that do not hear it at all .. others can hear it only with one of the ears .. others .. like me can hear it loud and clear ....
Perheps I should damage my hearing so I will not be able to hear this annoying high pitch noise
Well, my hearing is fine! I honestly do not have any high pitch noise or anything. I gave the phone to 7 of my friends and they could not hear anything either. I do not know, perhaps you got unlucky. But you are one of the very few with a phone made in Finland that I am aware of having troubles...

Anyone ever hear a loud high pitch noise

For the past week, I have heard a high pitched noise from my imac. It usually occurs when viewing videos and will go away once computer is shut off. It does ring when booting back up then goes away until a video or song is being played on the computer. Apple Support told me it wasn't something they could fix because the noise was heard during reboot. Any ideas? Thanks

Please describe "loud"... I hear once in a while a clicking noise that I know is coming from the hard drive while there is a lot of activity. It is noticeable, but I wouldn't say it's loud. My MacBook Pro does the same thing and at some point I was concerned but I found out that these noises are "normal" during a lot of disk activity.
I would still call or bring it to an Apple service store like the above suggestion, just in case! If you don't live near a store, maybe they will be willing to hear the noise over the phone? Just a thought.

Portege R700 - high pitched noise

I get a high pitched noise from my Portege R700-11P. The noise is in the upper range of audible sound (maybe around 15'000 Hz) and is periodically increasing and decreasing at a frequency of about 0.5 Hz. It is always there if the laptop is plugged in to the power source and is sleeping, it is sometimes there if the laptop is plugged in and running, and it immediately vanishes if I plug it off. The noise seems to come from the upper left corner of the laptop. It is not very loud, but clearly audible and quite annoying after some time. Anyone knows the reason for this noise and any possibility to get rid of it?
Thanks, Martin

Kojak45, no, I did not solve it, and I am not sure the latest developments will be reassuring for you: after a few months, the laptop sometimes started not waking up from hibernation anymore until it finally completely died. Luckily it was still under warranty, so it was now replaced with a new one. The new one also makes the high pitched noise, but this time only when it is running and plugged in.
Cheers, Martin

Satellite S1800-921: USB - high pitch noise appears

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite S1800-921 Notebook.
Everytime I plug a device in any of the USB ports this high pitch noise appears.
Then when I unplug a USB device the noise disappears.
The noise comes from the back of the laptop where the USB ports are. The noise is very annoying since it's high pitch.
I've disabled the Ali PCI to USB Host Controller device through Device Manager in Windows XP and that seems to stop the noise but then I can't use any USB devices.
Has anyone come across this problem before and does anyone know a solution?
Any information would be most appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Jimi,
Thank you for your advice.
I am on Windows XP Service Pack 2 and I'm up-to-date with all my Windows Update Downloads. So the update you recommended is already on my computer. Sorry but the noise is still here!
Thank you for trying though, I appreciate it.
Just to clarify about this "noise". It's high pitch in tone but not particularly loud. Again it only appears when I plug something into a USB Port.
Though when the printer is plugged in it's OK until I put the power switch on the printer and then the noise re-appears.
When the computer is processing something (like opening a MS Word Document or opening a website window) then the noise subsides. But when the computer is idle then the noise reappears again. This drives me nuts because the noise is not only very annoying but it comes on and off continously as I use my computer!
Also, when the noise appears and I'm dial-up onto the internet then there is this interference noise coming through the notebook's loudspeakers.
Anyone got any idea how I could rectify this problem?
Many thanks,
Andrew

Ipod touch 4 creates high pitch noise from cassette adapter

Did not have this issue with my ipod touch 2nd generation.
Have a Monster cassette adapter in my car (looks to be an earlier model than what is currently for sale at Apple website). ipod touch runs off of battery (not plugged into power source).
Creates a high pitch noise through the speakers. Not particularly loud, but annoying and very noticeable during quiet moments of music/podcasts
Volume of noise does not change with changing the volume on the car audio system.
Will start when the ipod touch starts playing. Will persist as long as the ipod is playing. Will not immediately stop when the music is paused. It will stop though after about 10-15 seconds.
Any ideas of what is causing this and why it did not happen with my previous ipod touch (2nd gen)?
Using iOS 4.1

Thanks for the suggestions/questions
If I plug the touch into my wife's car that uses a straight plug-in (no cassette adapter), I don't hear the noise. Unfortunately this is not an option on my car.
Have not tried plugging it into an actual home stereo but can give that a try.
If the engine is shut off, the noise is still present. Unaffected by the engine or RPM of it.
One other clarification - the noise is constant coming from the ipod. It does not vary based on the ipod volume. What this means is that if I turn up the ipod to full volume (and turn down the volume of the car stereo), the noise is less noticeable.
Of course the noise gets amplified with the rest of the music by the car stereo volume.
Will also try other suggestion and see what happens if I turn Airplane mode on.
Thanks

Bizarre High-pitched noise from K8N-NEO *I have read the other posts*

Hello.
I just got a new system to build, but it has decided to pee in my Wheaties.
Here are the specs:
MSI Neo Platinum
Nvidia 6800 video
Athlon64 3200
Kingston Hyperx PC3200
Antec Tru430 - 430watt
+5 +12 +3
36A 26A 28A
The board, CPU, memory, and video are installed in a new Antec case. The CPU is installed properly and I am using some ArticSilver 5 paste.
When the board posts, I hear a horribly loud and high pitched squeal. It sounds like a smoke detector going off.
I have read a number of posts regarding loud noise from the MOSFETS or from a loose chipset heatsink or as a result of a poor power supply. I think that this power supply should be adequate and the noise seems to be too loud to be a result of a loose component.
The board appears to go through the post procedure and stops on the "processor initialization" stage. After about 2 seconds of being powered on the video fans stops spinning. The HS Fan (which is the one that came with the retail package) does not appear to be spinning at full speed, neither is it running too slowly. As a result, I have not put power to the board for more than a few seconds (fear of heat damage, though the HS never gets warm...)
I am at a loss here. I have reseated everything several times, if this is a defective board then I am really irritated that it would pass QA and be sold. Any suggestions that you could provide will be greatly appreciated. If you prefer you can send me an email at [email protected]
Thanks again!
Moe

To Apple Engineer. I hear a high pitch noise when surf flash-intesive sites

Hi. All.
I have a Aluminum PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz SD. I agree this is a great machine. It has a somewhat out-dated G4 Chip in it, I can do almost everything I need.
I've been using this powerbook for 2 years. Since sometime ago, I've heard very annoying "Hige Pitch Noise" from PowerBook. From further investigatin I found that this was a problem related to G4 CPU Processor throttling- so called "NAP" status. In Flash-intensive Web site, I clearly hear the noise.
According to solution suggested by talented apple user, I did followings.
1. Download or Install Developer Tools.
2. Download and Install CHUD tools from ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/ToolC...ormancetools/
3. After installing chud tools, there maybe Processor pane in preference app.
4. In that processor pane, you should uncheck "Allow Nap" to reduce the notorius High Pitch Noise.(warning: it may increase the power consumption and temperature of CPU a bit, and of course you would see more frequent activities of CPU fan than before)
5. feel the silence.
To Apple.
I think this solution should be suggested from you not users.
Why we investigate, search the web for thosand of bucks PowerBook. Please fix this annoying(yes, annoying enough to cause headache) problem in next OS update.
To readers.
Sorry to my poor English(I live in Seoul, Korea)

Power adapter making a high pitched noise

Hi,
I was wondering if it is normal for my power adapter to be making a high pitched noise constantly. The noise stops or lessens very briefly when the computer is doing something (i.e. switching web pages) but, otherwise, it is constant. It is a really annoying high pitched whine. If this is not normal, what can I do about it. Do I need another one? Will Applecare cover it? Thanks!

Whereas I am not sure if this is normal, I figured I'd add that I see a similar problem happening on my power adapter.
I noticed on mine that it only makes the sound when the magsafe LED is green, if it's charging the battery it does not happen.
This started only about 2 weeks ago.

WRT330N High Pitched Noise

Hey everyone,
I just today recieved my WRT330N Gaming Router from Newegg and ever since I hooked it up I am hearing a VERY high pitched noise constantly coming from the router. I've even tested putting my ear up to it and unplugging it to make sure it was the router that was causing the problem. Everything else on the router works great but this noise is really starting to annoy me! Before I purchased this router I had a WRT54GS and never had a problem with it.
I've tried searching to see if anyone else has experienced this but have come up empty handed. Should I exchange this one for a new one, or get my money back? Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
Thank you.

@ Klatch
I tried all of your suggestions previously but they didn't work. I ended up sending it back to Newegg today for replacement. I'm REALLY hoping it was just a problem with that specific unit because if it's not I'll have to return it for my money back. The noise was just so bad...

Unknown iMac High Pitched Noise

Hey,
My Grandma got an iMac (Intel C2D) and today it makes a high pitched noise. I am unsure where the noise is coming from in the machine.The noise happens all the time, and it even happens when it is off?
Is there something like a software update for this? or should we send it in for service?
Thanks,
- Devon Merner

Since you noted that the noise is present even when the Mac is off, it's probably emitted by the transformer in the power supply unit. It should be considered a hardware defect, though not a serious one but can still be annoying, it happens sometimes on electronics.
You can try reset SMU by shutting down the Mac, disconnect all cables and wait for at least 15 seconds, then reconnect cables and start. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446)
And you can also try reset PRAM, though I doubt it's going to do anything, see
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
if these doesn't work, you should call Applecare and make your case, if you can clearly reproduce the problem you shouldn't have a lot of trouble getting it serviced.

Do all x201s make a high pitched noise?

I really like my x201, which I have owned for 2 days. I really cannot stand the sound of it though, it makes a really high pitched noise (think dentist drill), not really loudly, but enough to drill into my head. I have found a solution, run it at the slowest speed or wear headphones while using it. Neither are particularly appealing.
My question to you, owners of x201s, does your model do this as well? Please state your CPU type and model number.
CPU: Core i5, M540
Type: 3249 A25 (on the tag next to the serial number)

ok. i fixed it. full speed, no noise. adaptive speed, no noise.
of course, a BIOS update cured it. why did i not try this first. old bios was 1.17, updating to 1.31 was the cure.

Time Capsule Makes a High PItched Noise.

This morning I found that my Time Capsule has started making a high pitched noise. That is really annoying and concerning.
any thoughts?

Same thing happened to me just now. Sounded like air escaping from balloon through a small hole.
I unplugged the TC and waited for a few minutes. Plugged it back in and it simply did it again.
I had a steady amber light come on, but after about 30 seconds, the TC would shut off.
