High Pitch ring/ B

Hi guys, i've been reading alot of issues with the x-fi and nf4. So i figured i see if anyone if familiar with this before i try creatives imfamous tech support. Anyways i am quite computer literate and understand whats going on. Now for my issue, at random times during games, specifically Company of Heroes, Underground 2, Star Wars Empire at War the sound will screetch a high ping ring and stay that way. So loud that i have to turn my speakers off. It only goes away when i restart the comp. Now i have SLI, I turned it off in COH and it seemed to go away for now, but that defeats the prupose of having sli lol. But the other games seem to have some issue or another relating to this. I didnt think this qualifies and the crackling problem i've heard alot about this seems different. FYI onbaord sound works fine. Now i have no other pci card, just the sound blaster but it does share an irq with one of my video cards, asus said thats how the pci bus works on the newier boards (kinda baffled me). Newiest bios, newiest drivers blah blah no rookie stuff. All other onboard devices are off PCI Lat at 64. Now for my specs
Asus p5n32-sli se (nf4)
Intel core 2 duo e6600
2xg corsair xms pc6400 5-5-5-2 The stock timings are 4-4-4-0 i set them high just incase
2x evga 7900gt co's
550watt Antec Trupower

Yeah i also have a p5n32-sli SE with a E6600 and the same memory and PSU but with two 7800gt in sli, and in most games like for example Gothic 3 and Dark messiah of might and magic i also get that problem. Altho in some games it seems more random, like in gothic 3 i can sometimes play for very long times without it happening but in say dark messiah i get it constantly after a pretty short while. And also since that high pitch beep can be muted in windows i would guess its some kind of software problem.
I found these threads with other people having the same problem

but no solution, altho some claim disabling SLI will work but as you said that relly isnt an option, id rather use my onboard sound in that case.
I sent a mail to creatives support like a week ago but have yet to get a reply.
The only thing i forgot to try was using the old drivers that came with the card instead of the latest, but i had to pull out the card to find the serial and model numbers when contacting support and i havent bothered putting the card back in so i cant try, but then again i think someone in one of those threads already tried with older drivers and it didnt fix it.
Well , I remeber the days when soundblaster cards were THE cards for gaming but sadly creative seems to have dropped the ball with this series, and sadly seeing all the problems creative are having with these cards and the lack of support even indicating they are working on fixing the isssues , well lets just say i probably wont waste my money on a creative product ever again, after all thats all i can do as a consumer.

Sony Bravia high pitched ringing

I just bought a brand new Sony Bravia 32' model KDL32EX500 yesterday and everything appeared to be in working order except for a very high pitched ringing sound that comes from the television. I figured this was normal as it is powered on, but it also continues to make this high pitched noise while in standby mode. I researched this a bit online and found this to not be normal at all. I was just wondering what I would be able to do about this or if there is a possible way to fix it. After unplugging the television from the outlet after every use, the noise goes away after several seconds, but I'd hate to have to do that all the time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I had this same problem while video chatting. I think it has to do with the sound being echoed through the speakers. For example, if I said hi, my friend can hear it, her mic picks it up, it comes back through my speakers my mic picks it up, goes back to her.. etc.
Simple solution, use head phones when talking. As soon as everyone in my chat plugged our ipod headphones into our computer the problem disappeared.
Hope this helps!

High pitch ringing sound when i plug my headphones in.

Hi
I am currently using a Macbook Pro 15" retina display
There has been no problems previously. Out of no where, today my headphones has this high pitched ringing sound whenever i plug it in.
The audio is fine when I do not use any headphones. but when i plug them in, there is a ringing sound. This is happens as well when i plug in other headphones I have.
I have tried going to Sound under System Preferences and adjusting the stuff there but nothing seems to work.
This ringing sound makes listening to anything unbearable.
Please help

There is a micro switch inside the socket to switch between the optical output (digtal), headphones and internal speakers. It sometimes gets stuck.
Push the headphone plug into the socket numereous times and see if it frees the switch. Please do not push other foreigh objects into the socket as you may break the switch and/or the electrical contacts.

No firewire while high pitched ring is happening

I have a Dual 2.3GhZ G5 powermac tower. When it first starts up theres a very high pitched ring, almost not noticeable, the ring eventually goes away after warming up between 2-4 hours. While this ring is happening my 2 firewire ports will not work. If I open an application of the computer has to do "some work" the ring cuts in and out but then eventually comes back.
Now its happening no matter how long the computer warms up (even days).
The rest of the computer functions fine aside form no firewire devices showing up.
Any thoughts????

Hi uertzjl, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Tough to tell what the "ring" sound might actually be, but the symptoms sound like a problem with the Power Supply.

High pitch ringing when recording voiceover

I just started getting a ringing when recording voiceovers. Any idea why?

I am using a Blue Snowball mic. I am also using Sony MDR-7502 headphones. There is a constant high pitch ringing.
In the past I've done voiceovers in FCP with this mic and no headphones without any problems. Since I tried to use the headphones (I bought them today) I'm getting the what I guess is feedback. Even when I unplug the headphones and plug the speakers in, as in previous set up, I am continuing to get feedback. (if this is feedback). This didnt happen before.
Any ideas? I've tried monitor on and off. Turned off my external hard drive. Checked automatic level control. I cant figure this out. I am new to setting up an evironment for recording other than my previous set up so maybe its something basic. You mentioned doorbells and phones. Does that mean nothing metal near the computer such nail clippers or hard drive? Do I need a shockmount? Is that the problem?

Pre has a high pitched ringing noise while on touchstone

Every time I set my Pre on the touchstone, the second it starts charging it has this high pitched ringing noise, like the kind older people lose the ability to hear. Is there any way I can get this to quit?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Same problem here. At first I thought it was the touchstone, but it seems like it is coming straight from the Pre. Turning down the volume on the speaker does nothing. Turning up the volume works though - when you are playing music! ;-)

High Pitched ringing from Zen Mi

I have had my Zen Micro for about two weeks and I have noticed that there is a high pitched noise that emanates from the Zen when I listen to the first 20 seconds of a song. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem without having to send in my player for repair. Thanks in advance.

I believe the ringing noise referred to is transient RF interference caused by the aft section of the player amplifier circuits as they amplify the converted audio signal before it heads out the headphone output. There may be a grounding issue to the circuitboard in the player, as running the backlight seems to temporarily cancel this noise out. I have never encountered a noise that starts when the audio file is started only to disappear 5 to 20 seconds later, only a noise that breaks in on the audio signal once the backlight goes out.
Transient noise may be a symptom of HDD operation on HDD-based players. I have never encountered noise issues with solid-state players such as the RIO or the Sony key-series. Sadly, if this so there can be no cure. Some persons may not notice such high-pitched noise and some persons may find they are quite sensiti've to it. That's how it goes.
I have found that Creative's earphones seem to filter out most of the noise due to a frequency range that is just not as high as competitor products. Creative may have deliberately engineered this range to its products, or they might have simply thought that too much high-frequency noise coming through little tiny earbuds is just not too good for the ears. This is not an uncommon design philosophy.

How can I remove high-pitched distortion from voice-over?

Hi folks,
I'm completely new to fixing audio. I am making a short film, and for a voice-over, I recently had to do an interview over the phone (the subject lives in a very remote location). Actually, I used GoToMeeting, we called into the conference call feature from our phones, and I recorded the meeting into a wmv file. Then I re-encoded it using Expression Encoder so I could pull it into Adobe Audition.
I am attaching a short phrase (extracted as a .wav file) from the interview in the hope that someone can tell me how to improve the quality of the sound. I have Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition, both CS6 and CC versions.
Short voice recording - Creative COW
1. Can anyone tell me, please, how to get rid of the high-pitched "ringing" kind of distortion that we hear on each of her loudest syllables? Also, does this particular type of distortion have a name? I kept finding articles on fixing sound, but wasn't sure what I'm dealing with here, so I wasn't sure which techniques were likely to work. Tried a bunch, and the overall sound got better, but so far nothing has fixed that high-pitched distortion.
2. After getting rid of that ringing distortion, what are your recommendations for making the voice recording sound as rich, smooth and full as possible? In real life, this woman has a BEAUTIFUL, rich voice. But the recording sounds like a flat telephone call (because it is).
Thanks in advance,
Mary

Well, I don't think there's any miracles to be had here. As you say, it's a telephone call and I fear that, since phone lines filter out anything above about 4k, there's no way of replacing it.
I had a look at your file in spectral view and you can clearly see the original material going, as expected, up to about 4 kilohertz--but, above that, there's a generalised area of noise. My suspicion--and it's only a suspicion--is that during your double conversions (to wmv then through a third party app to something else) one of them has added the extra noise as it your original was full bandwidth.
Anyhow, best I could do was use the Marquee tool in Spectral View, draw a rectangle around the upper area (you can see a clear boundary between the programme content and the random extra frequencies) then just delete everything above just over 4 khz then delete.
As for making a phone call sound full and rich, if there was a way to do it, when I was working in TV we could have saved hundreds of thousands a year by using phones instead of far more expensive circuits!

Eliminating high-pitched noise

I have recorded an acoustic guitar track using two condenser mics. During playback, I am hearing a high-pitched ringing - just loud enough to be annoying. I have recorded guitar dozens of times with this exact same set up and have never had this problem.
I am trying to figure out a way to eliminate (or at least reduce) this noise from the track without having to re-record the whole thing. Does anyone know if there is an effect or filter or EQ trick I can employ for this?

I don't know what filter Plugs you're using but Logic's Eqs should be able to do this. If it's a stereo track use the Linear phase Eq to preserve the correct phases. So look at the frequency display of your Eq, and boost the ringing with a notch filter band (set to maybe +15 dB - watch your ears), set the Q to 100 (as narrow as it can be) and go through the frequency spectrum until you've found the ringing. Then turn the gain to a negative value until the ringing has gone away. If that doesn't do it, try iZotope RX (they have a demo) which has a fantastic spectral repair function.

My droid razr m suddenly developed a high pitched buzz while ringing and when callers are speaking. It doesn't buzz while on speaker. Any one have same problem or a solution to it?

My droid razr m has developed a high pitched buzz while ringing and when callers are speaking. It does not buzz when on speaker. Anyone have this problem or a solution to it?

Teakman lets make sure your device is clear as a whistle! There is not a known audio issue with the Droid Razr M so it appears this may be an hardware defect with the device. To make certain that's not an internal issue, I would recommend completing a Hard Reset http://vz.to/1kEchad .

IMac high pitch sound (4th iMac in a week). Any improvements?

Hello,
I know there is a lot of forum posts on the internet about this, as I've spent about two days reading them (primarily from my iPhone as my screen sound drives me up the wall).
As some people have experienced, this is a result of changing the brightness (0% and 100% are fine, anything in between emits a high pitched whine...some people believe this is a result of the capacitors vibrating at around 15-16Hz, which would make sense).
I have actually gone through four separate iMacs in a week to try to fix this problem (and two being upgrades over the model I had in hopes of a different production run). I have checked the serial number on all of them and they were all build between September and October, at various weeks between, mostly within a 4 week window.
I am beyond my wits with this issue and not sure what to do now. I have spent nearly 20 hours setting up four separate computers only to format them to take back in a chance I am lucky enough to get one that I can dim at night time without getting a ringing sound in my ear.
I was wondering if anyone else who has experienced this issue has come across a solution, or at least a replacement that has worked? I am debating to go for number five, but honestly, I am almost too tired of boxing and driving, boxing and drive (rinse and repeat). (I even tried three separate stores in hopes to get a different production week that didn't have this issue).
Looking forward to your responses, and any guidance. I love this machine and I wish it just stopped having these issues so I could do some work...
Setup(s):
First two:
21.5" iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core i3
4GB RAM
500GB HDD
ATI Radeon 4670
Next two:
21.5" iMac 3.2GHz Intel Core i3
4GB RAM
1TB HDD
ATI Radeon 5670
Thank you,
Adam

I started having this problem yesterday on my late 2009 iMac 27 inch after I changed my HDD.
It was perfectly fine before however after the swap however after a high pitch noise occurred when I increased the display brightness. So Just this morning I pulled my iMac apart again and unplugged the screen again and had a look at the connectors. all were fine except for the Vertical Sync ribbon
The 4 flat wires/ribbons that are exposed on the end are supposed to be glued to the thin piece of plastic that plugs into the socket on the circuit board. This circuit board is on the top left hand corner of the iMac as well which is where people say the sound is coming from.
I am not sure if this will solve all the problems out there but its worth a look.

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.
Manolo.

Nokia 6300 high pitched whistling feedback noise d...

I am now on my fourth Nokia 6300 having returned the previous three because of the same high pitched whistling or feedback noise during a call. I have also tried updating my SIM card (a genius at Vodafone came up with that idea) and still the same problem.
I know of a couple of people with the same phone and no problems, so I can only suppose it is something to do with the Vodafone software.
I would be happy to try updating or re-loading the software but cannot find it anywhere?
I really like everything else about this phone so any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

I also recently upgraded my wonderful 6233 with a 6300. The ear-piece of the first one I got produced a constant buzz during calls. Returned it, got a new one on the spot. After a few days, I started having complaints about my audio at the other end; the symptom was a very high noise level (coming from my end) together with echo (the caller would hear their voice echoed back). I had also started noticing a distorted low-level replica of my own voice present at the ear-piece. The first thing that came to mind was "oh no, another replacement!". Being a bit of an inquisitive mind though, I decided to debug this a bid further. So I browsed the web, and among other things came across this thread. The turning point was correlating the problem with reports of Bluetooth incompatibility from various users right and left; as it turns out, the 6300 appears to have a serious Bluetooth "problem". To make a long story short, the situation is as follows. After the phone is turned on, all is well: audio at the other end is perfect (no noise, no echo). Then I turn on my Motorola H700 head-set. Call the phone from a land-line, and yes, the noise level is high as hell; the mic gain is turned up so much that you can whisper a couple of meters away and hear yourself just fine on the other end! Here comes the catch: turn off the Bluetooth head-set, and surprise-surprise, the problem is still there with the built-in mic; turning off and on the phone cures it. But wait, this doesn't happen always. Sometimes the mic level goes back to what it was before, and the phone is working fine once more, without power-cycling.
That's more or less it; I hope it rings a bell with someone reading these lines, and hopefully it gets fixed in a future firmware revision. In the meantime, I need a new Bluetooth head-set...

White screen and high pitched sound whenever ipod is on

Anyone know how to fix this? Haven't used this ipod in a while so i charged it up to the max, but when i turn it on the screen remains white and a high pitched sound constantly rings until it is turned off. Tried restarting the ipod but i still get the same white screen. I even updated the software on my computer but no fixes yet...

Try connecting the ipod and resetting it while it is connected.

ASA5505 emits a very high pitched noise

We just got a new 5505 1 week ago. Upon plugging it in it has a very high pitched noise. Similar to the sound you get when your ears are ringing or a cricket but its constant.
This drives us nuts. Any ideas what it can be since there's no fan or moving parts I can't figure it out.

sounds like the switch mode power supply isn't running fully.
does it do it if you just plug the PSU in but don't connect it to the ASA? or is it just under load of the ASA being connected?
either way id put in for a replacement as its not good
