High pitched annoying vibration in receiver speaker inside phone

out of the box my 16g iphone 3g has a very annoying vibration thru the receiver when someone is talking to me. sounds like the speaker is loose or blown anyone else having this problem? It happens even when the speaker is turned to low volume.

Having the exact same problem with my 16GB. I only notice it when the ear volume is more than half way up. It stops if I slide my ear to the very top of the phone but holding it in a comfortable position there is a vibration. It almost sounds like when you crank up the treble on a radio and get a high pitched vibration / cracking.

  • 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.

  • High pitch annoying sound

    I have a problem with my K7N2 ILSR mobo
    while working on Windows 2003 Server I keep hearing high pitch sound in my speakers though any application is not working
    muteing and unmuteing the sound soleves the problem (and it's the unmuteing action which actually cuts the high sound) but just for a few moments
    please help me as I have no idea what can be the couse of this and it's driving me crazy

    Hi,
    I came across a similar problem at work last week with my K7N2 Delta ILSR - except that it's putting out a very high frequency - close to 1MHz!  There is a 990kHz, 0.4V peak-to-peak sine wave on the main (Front L & R) audio outputs - same frequency but opposite phase on each. (The maximum output level is a tad under 5V p-p, so this is fairly loud.) putting some capacitance on either output line lowers the signal frequency (e.g. to about 600kHz with 10 nanofarads) of that channel, with minimal effect on the other channel.
    To me, this suggests a fundamental flaw in the analogue output portion of the hardware. I have wired my system to give audio outputs at the front and back simultaneously (rear output doesn't cut out when something is plugged in at front), so that might affect things. I'll try a rear-only setup when I get a chance.
    Adjusting the Playback mixer controls doesn't seem to make much difference,  nor does playing around with the Recording mixer. I am using the standard nVidia drivers that came with the mobo (6.14.431.1, 26/03/2004).
    Although in my case the sound is inaudible, it causes trouble when I try to use the audio output for touch-tone control, which is how I found that there is a problem.  So other people might also have this problem, but not be aware of it.
    I'll try and research this further when I get a chance, but if anyone has a definite cure, I'd like to hear it.
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • High pitched noise after receiving an email

    So i was sitting at my desk, and I signed up at a website that sends you an email in order to complete the registration. my iphone got the email but I heard something afterwards that sounded like a high pitch. I was curious and sent another email to myself and the noise happened again. The noise doesn't happen if I put my sound half way down. Is this a good reason take my phone into the apple store to get it checked out? Is this a common problem with other people?

    yes, but my old 3g never did this and this one does.
    So is this a new 3GS and not a 3G? Read on..........there are a number of threads concerning this, it would appear to manifest itself after more things than sending or receiving an email. Try listening after a text.
    All the other problems occur during other times and no one has a solution or whether this problem could escalate into something worse like the speaker burning out or something.
    It happens on most of the new units and I suspect it's something that Apple may be able to sort out with a software update. Just hold station and keep a look out for them. Alternatively if you are that concerned, take a trip to the genius bar.

  • Since Yosemite upgrade, high pitch noise creating case vibration on MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) (on watching the keynote online)

    Hi,
    Great work on Yosemite, great new design as well.
    Several problems since the Yosemite upgrade though :
        - When playing high pitch noise (watching the keynote for example), the speakers make the case around it vibrate. This was not happening under Mavericks and previous OSXs.
        - This page (post editing) does not allow the right click (works everywhere else as far as I'm aware).
        - when changing the volume, I have now the noise feedback when clicking on shift+volume up/down and no sound when clicking on volume up/down on my keyboard (was the inverse before).
        - The keyboard light was stuck in off, had to restart the computer.
    More general problems (covering the last OSX since introduction of 10.9) :
        - lack of possibility of choosing for a 3x3 set of desktops as it was before (the new mission control only allow us to have a horizontal set of several desktops)
        - Notifications cannot be turned off automatically when being in full screen. (only options for auto turn off given are "display is sleeping" oO and when "mirroring on another display" -> meh, would have prefer when having an app in full screen)
    System :
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009)
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,3
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Memory: 8 GB

    Boot ROM Version: MBP53.00AC.B03
    SMC Version (system): 1.48f2

    Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

    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 .

  • X-Fi Fatality Pro High-Pitched Speaker Noise, No Sound or Tinny Sound Win

    Hi all,?Perhaps this is premature but... I've had the X-Fi FPS for about three weeks now and everything was working fine until about a week ago. Here's the problem: Upon cold start of loading?XP there is either no sound and/or high-pitched noise coming from my 2. speakers, or just horrible tinny sound with the volume cranked. If I reboot, sound works perfectly. If I do another reboot, the sound will resort back to the noise/tin, etc. or perhaps it might be ok. Same issue with the?IO?card. I've reinstalled the drivers, but that didn't help the problem. Currently in PCI slot 3... I haven't moved it to 4 but will do so tonight and do a clean install of the software. I was cleaning out the dust from the internals and used a "Dust-Off" type product inside of the case...is it possible that the card "froze" and is now itself unstable? I've run the creative diagnostics and says everything is fine. Perahps it's just a system?issue. I plan on doing a full system wipeout and reinstall as well but wanted to see if?this situation is a known issue. -Dell XPS Gen 2-3.2ghz; 2gig Ram-ATI 9800XT (AGP, also takes up PCI slot )-Linksys Wireless G Network card (PCI slot 2)-X-Fi (PCI Slot 3)-Ultra Firewire card (PCI slot 4)-SATA HDs-LITE-ON?

  • Can loud tones, high pitched sounds, loud music and loud loudspeaker calls destroy iphone 5 speaker ?

    Can loud tones, high pitched sounds, loud music and loud loudspeaker calls destroy iphone 5 speaker ?
    TQ

    sounds are air being moved
    if exposed to a high enough sound being moved presured impuls then
    any device could take damage
    but your speaker which are maded to move sound and be moved by sound
    would last longer then mostly anything else if your phone in terms of being damaged by sound
    so the answer is yes
    but not likely before anything else in your phone being destroied by the same loud music plus

  • Trophy: Speaker Noise. quiet yet high pitch tone?

    so i got my HTC Trophy yesterday. so today i noticed that my phone makes a quiet, yet high pitched tone when the screen is on (maybe its when it is not asleep). so i turn the screen off.. (its quiet).. turn it on (i hear the tone). unlock (unlock sound plays, and there is something a second after that). then i hear that tone again.. its kinda like the speaker is always on and there is some kind of noise. (my volume is on 7).. could be my phone. could be the OS. anyone else have this sound?

    Odds are it's the hardware.  Do a reset (settings, about, reset my phone, yes, yes), and if it still happens, take the phone to the store and tell them you want it replaced under warranty.
    You will lose all your data that isn't synced to the cloud, but that is a troubleshooting step they'll make you go through anyway.

  • AMD processor causes annoying high-pitched whine

    Just got a new Toshiba M305D with and AMD processor, and I may end up having to return it. There's a faint but definitly audible and extremely annoying high-pitched whine sound. I've done a Google search and I now see that I'm not the first person to be experiencing this. (Oddly enough, there's a trick to make it stop, though it's not a permanent solution - open up the "Sound Recorder" tool, in the Accessories folder.)
    Don't know if Toshiba has any kind of exchange program. Anyone have any experience with this? From what I've read, the M305s with the Core 2 Duo processor do not make the same sound.

    Same problem here.  It's a very annoying sound, and not something that should normally happen with a laptop.  It's really pretty piercing and makes concentrating in silence difficult.  I brought back the first one I bought to Best Buy because I thought it might just be a defect, but the replacement they gave me (same model) made the sound as well.  I called Toshiba support today, and they opened up a case for me that will be submitted to management.  I have a case number and they should be contacting me with a resolution.  Hopefully they'll give me a credit so I can get a different model.  I'll post the resolution here if I remember.

  • W520: left speaker problem (high-pitched sounds)

    my W520 right speaker sound really bad when playing high-pitched sounds (e.g. Windows-Sounds, Windows-Speaker-Test-Sound).
    check out the video
    http://youtu.be/saR-9jlens8?hd=1
    the left speaker sounds pretty good, so I guess the mainboard/driver shouldn't be a problem.
    is there a way to get a replacement speaker?
    does anybody has or had a similar problem?

    Hi stifu
    Yes, just use the Windows test on the last few seconds to prove the tech that the right speaker is faulty and they will replace it for you. I have met the same problem before and I have the speaker replaced once.
    Have a nice day!

  • Mac Mini makes high-pitched sound when light images displayed on monitor

    I have a Mac Mini 1.5Ghz G4 with 80GB/combo drive.
    Occasionally, it will start to emit a high-pitched whine. The whine doesn't seem to be emitting from the built-in speaker. It comes intermittently. It stops as soon as I start shutting down the Macintosh, although if I wait it has stopped on it's own after a few minutes.
    Here's the weird part.
    I have some control over the volume of the pitch when it is occurring by changing the amount of "bright" objects on display on the screen. I have a dark desktop image in the background. When the high-pitched whine started, I was using Safari looking at a web page with a white background. When I hid Safari, the volume of the sound dropped to be almost unhearable. I switched to OmniOutliner where I had a single window open that was about half the size of the Safari window I hid. It too had a white background. The high-pitched whine returned at about half the volume it was at when the Safari web page was opened. I hid OmniOutliner, and it dropped down again. Resizing the windows led to a corresponding change in the volume of the whine.
    I would take it in to a Mac Genuis, except the high-pitched whine starts when it wants to.
    I've already googled the problem and all I can find is an instance of a video card in a PowerMac G5 emitting a high-pitched whine.
    If anyone can illuminate some ideas on the fix or at least the cause of this issue, it would be much appreciated.
    --Joshua
    P.S. The monitor the Mac Mini is connected to is a Dell E772c.
    Mac Mini PPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    If you search around you will find this is a common complaint, not of the mini, but of PowerBooks, iBooks and other PC notebook computers. The reason that people report this issue so frequently with notebook computers is because they are so, otherwise, quiet and that makes it easy to hear such sounds. I guess you can put the mini in the category of quiet computers.
    What you hear is likely the result of a phenomenon known as magnetostriction. You are hearing magnetic cores, as found in chokes and transformers inside the mini, vibrate at their operating frequency, which can vary according to changing circuit loads, which is why it can be come-and-go and also change in pitch.
    Below is a wikipedia link on magnetostriction if you care to learn more. It's nothing to worry about but it can be annoying. Makes you feel like you are sharing your room with a mosquito.

  • Is my Mac Pro the cause of high pitch monitor noise?

    I am encountering a faint but persistent high pitch noise through my Yamaha HS-50M monitors when my Edirol FA-66 interface is plugged into my computer via firewire ca ble.
    I've read all these threads which sound very similar to my issue and have tried all the pertinent recommendations presented so far:
    Monitor buzzing noise NEED HELP!
    Help fixing signal hum/mouse coming out of monitors?
    Electric shocks and Noise in a home studio
    KVR :: View topic - Interference question. Computer and external audio interface
    Just to be clear, my problem is similar but not identical to the problems listed in the threads above. Mouse movement or computer activity doesn't effect the monitor noise I'm hearing at all, it is merely a constant sustained high frequency tone that's emitted from my monitors when my FA-66 interface is plugged into my MacPro via firewire cable. My speakers are silent (aside from their own self noise) so long as my FA-66 isn't connected directly to my computer. Even when my FA-66 is powered on via its AC adaptor but not connected to my computer via firewire cable there is no added noise in my monitors. It's just when I make the firewire connection between my interface and my computer that the high pitch noise appears in my monitors.
    I used to run my Edirol off of my older MacBook and never had this issue. I just recently upgraded to a new MacPro and am encountering this issue for the first time.
    Since the noise is eliminated when I disconnect the firewire cable from my interface, I believe the sound is being caused by interference from my computer, which is then transmitted through my firewire cable into my interface.
    My setup is this:
    Grounded Wall Outlet > Furman Power Conditioner > MacPro Desktop Machine > Edirol FA-66 > Monitors
    I am using TRS-XLR Mogami Speaker cables to connect my interface to my monitors and am using Mogami cables throughout my system.
    All of my audio gear is being powered through my Furman power conditioner: my computer, my FA-66 interface via its AC adaptor (not firewire bus powered), my speaker monitors, and all my other audio equipment.
    I don't believe I'm picking up interference from any of my other cables and wiring and this doesn't seem like a grounding issue. Like I mentioned, the noise is gone when I disconnect the firewire cable from my FA-66 interface.
    I do have some other hardware in my setup (my computer screen monitor, a USB hub, AC power supplies and cords to power external hard drives, a lamp) that are receiving power from a separate surge protector strip plugged directly into a different wall outlet than the one my Furman conditioner is plugged into. I don't believe any of these other devices are the cause of the interference noise because when I unplug all these items from their respective wall outlet, I still hear the exact same noise when my FA-66 is plugged into my computer via firewire cable.
    All signs seem to point to my firewire cable and/or my computer.
    Originally I started with a different firewire cable and swapped it out for a newer and higher quality, gold-plated firewire cable meant to cut down on interference. This cable swap did help reduce some of the noise my monitors were picking up, but did not eliminate it entirely.
    I then invested in some ferrite core clamps and placed those around each end of my firewire cable (one right by my computer's firewire port & one right by my FA-66's firewire port). This helped a little more but did not eliminate the high pitched sound entirely, just made it even quieter. The hole diameter of the ferrite core clamps is slightly larger than the diameter of my firewire cable, however, and I'm going to order more clamps with a smaller hole diameter that will ensure a snugger fit around my firewire cable. Do you think this may help things more?
    I also lifted the grounding pin in my Edirol, tied a copper grounding wire around it and connected the other end to my MacPro's metal case with alligator clamps in an effort to better ground the two suspect pieces in the chain. This seemed to have little to no effect beyond what the ferrite cores were able to clean up. (I got this idea from the GS thread contained in the first link above.) I don't know much about hardware electronics but thought I would try this out just to see if it would help. The fact that it didn't help, to me, seems to reaffirm that the system is grounded properly, because if it weren't I would have possibly noticed an improvement by making a grounded connection between my interface and computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.
    I even tried plugging my Furman power conditioner into an entirely different wall outlet, but this didn't change things at all. I do have one more unused wall outlet I can try but don't think this will make much of a difference because I'm 99.99% sure this isn't a grounding problem and that the sockets I'm using are properly grounded. My Furman isn't registering anything abnormal and seems to be functioning properly.
    As of right now I've been able to make significant improvement to the noise problem and have eliminated it by 90%. The high pitch noise through my monitors is virtually eliminated but I still notice a faint bit of added noise when interface is powered on and connected to my computer via firewire versus when the firewire cable is disconnected.
    Could my MacPro be outputting some kind of interference which is being picked up by my firewire cable and transmitted to interface and monitors? I've read that sometimes a computer's power supply unit can output a large amount of EMI or dirty electrical interference. It seems surprising to me that Mac's professional desktop machine would cause a fundamental issue like this though, especially since it is designed for being able to work in a professional audio recording setup.
    Any other ideas people can provide as to what may be causing my added interference and how to treat it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

    What kind of sound card are you using exactly? It seems like you're sound card is picking up EMI or RFI from your computer when it's plugged into a wall outlet. Are you using a power conditioner in your setup to help clean up your power supply?
    Try googling EMI & RFI, there are many online resources which detail how to troubleshoot and deal with these problems. http://www.arrl.org/radio-frequency-interference-rfi
    I finally solved my problem by upgrading to a higher quality audio interface (Focusrite Pro 40). This was able to cut out the high frequency RFI signal being output from my MacPro computer. I get the feeling many of Mac's higher end computers tend to output dirty electrical signals which is why so many people have this similar problem.
    Try cleaning up your power supply, then maybe use different, higher quality sound cards or interfaces with your setup to see if the issue gets solved. The problem most likely lies with your computer and if you can get a high quality interface that can cut out the noise, that may be your only solution. It worked for me.
    Good luck!

  • High pitched sound - something to do with internal microphone ??

    Suddenly my Powerbook has started emitting a high pitched sound through its speakers. You know one of those high frequency ear-blowing sounds when a PA system is being set up and the mic is getting tested and the amp's turned up too loud?
    I'm not sure exactly what I was doing when it started, but I think I was making or receiving a telephony call via iChat. During or just after the connection process (which didn't work for some reason but that could've been a problem at the other end), this high pitched squeal started. I can get rid of it by turning down the output volume - the squeal disappears but that of course turns all other output sound down as well. The sound disappears when the volume is turned down about half way.
    But...even if the sound is turned down half way, if I put my hand over the left speaker, the sound comes back. No sound comes back if I place hand over right speaker. I assume then that the inbuilt microphone is under the left speaker area, and this has something to do with the inbuilt mic.
    The only other thing that's happened in recent times is that I used this Powerbook's audio line-in port to record some sound from an audio casette recently. I used Audio Recorder 2.0 for this. I can't imagine this has been the cause, but thought I'd better mention it. If I go into the Sound Preference panel, I can stop the squeal by changing the sound input device from internal microphone to Line In.
    Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and how iit can be fixed?
    Many thanks, Steven

    Hey, great suggestion Burn. It prompted me to look at iChat preferences, since that was the only application that I've had open which might engage the internal microphone.
    Within iChat Preferences, I clicked on the 'Video' icon, and for the 'Microphone' setting I saw that 'None selected' (or something like that - that option has gone now?) was in place. So I changed the setting to Internal Microphone. The whistle or screech was still there. Then I changed the setting to 'Line In'. No more screech!!
    A good result, but is this the way it's supposed to be? Does having the setting as 'Line In' mean that I have to plug headphones in whenever I want to use iChat for internet telephony? Unless I manually change to Internal Microphone, but then I suffer screeching again?
    Cheers, Steven
