Horrifyingly loud buzz sound happens after I burn and eject a disc, WHY??

Hey everyone,
So this insanely loud, like blowing out my speakers loud, buzzing sound, comes out of my speakers after I rip a cd and eject it. Has this ever happened to anyone???
Here are the specific details:
This has happened only twice before, but just happened twice tonight.
The sound itself is a short burst of noise, like if you ever plugged into a guitar amp with the volume at max.
It only makes that sound when I remove the CD, if it sits halfway in the drive it wont make the noise till I pull it out.
I am using iTunes on an Intel based iMac.
Its almost 1am and it really is scary and disconcerting when this happens, especially because it happened twice in one night! Imagine listening quietly to music and then this MASSIVE loud noise blasts through your speakers late at night. Its like my computer just yelled me...
Anyways, thanks your time
Best,
-Reid

To see if this is something actually going through the iMac's sound system (and not some hardware malfunction), mute the sound in System Preferences Sound pane. Then do whatever it is that makes the sound occur"? Does the sound still occur, or is it now muted. Actually, you don't need to mute the sound, just make it lower. That way, you can tell if the sound still occurred. Is the loudness affected by the sound volume setting?

  • PP CS6 - Loud buzzing during playback after modifying timeline

    Hi all,
    I've been searching and searching for solutions to my problem, and while I found a few results that seemed to be similar, none of them describe my problem.
    While working on a project and changing/inserting/deleting/otherwise modifying clips on the timeline, initiation of playback brings with it a very loud buzzing noise in the right channel of my headphones. This sound only lasts about 0.1s, but is incredibly loud and piercing. It does not happen every time I change something and then play back, and I am not sure what could be the cause of the problem.
    My specs:
    iMac 27-inch, Late 2012, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512MB, OS X 10.8.4
    Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium CS6
    I should mention that previously I was having problems with Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when performing certain activies such as clicking an item in the menu bar or playing back the timeline. However, these problems were solved by performing a reinstallation and cleaning out any cache-like area I could find on my Mac.

    I realize this post is quite a few months old, but I am having the same problem as well.  But I'm on CC now.  Me and 3 other guys in our office have this problem as well and it's extremely frustrating.  I have 32 gb ram installed on my mac. It looks like I have the same specs as thedboydguy's computer as well.  I will do some edits, click on the timeline to move my cursor and this extremely loud buzz sound fills my headphones for like .1 seconds.  I have sensitive ears and this is very hard to take. If anyone has found a solution to this, it would help me very much.  I have installed many updates over the past few months and they still haven't fixed it.

    What order?
    Most likely it's the order on the Disk, not the Name, or other way shown.

  • Pictures disappeared after installing Yosemite and new Iphoto. Why

    Pictures disappeared after installing Yosemite and new Iphoto. Why ?

    I also started having problems with iPhoto after installing Yosemite.  Some of the Event collections lost the picture and just has a grey square in its place.  When I click on the Event, it shows a white dotted lined square for each picture and if I click on the picture, it shows an exclamation mark.
    Check, if you also are having a folder "Old Masters" inside the iPhoto Library package, as described by  Muhamad Abdulkadir.
    Ctrl-click (or right-click) your iPhoto Library in the Pictures folder , then select "Show Package Contents".  If you are seeing a folder "Old Masters", copy this folder out of the library. Look inside - are the original image files of the problematic photos inside?
    Are any photos in your "Masters"folder?

    If the machine is over 4 years old, have the PRAM battery replaced. If the machine is less than 4 years old, look at these possibilities*: http://www.macmaps.com/cdrfailure.html

  • Loud buzzing noise when I play music and watch videos. Happens through speakers and headphones

    Hey guys would really appreciate your help.
    I bought a HP laptop in January which started to make buzzing sounds when playing audio from iTunes and YouTube as well. I thought the laptop was faulty so I returned it. 
    I then got an exchange and instead got a hp-15-d051sa and it does the same thing! I have looked everywhere on these forums to resolve this issue and one source said to uninstall the HP assistant but my laptop is still doing it. It happens on both my speakers and headphones.
    Any help will be much appreciated because this has happened on two brand new HP laptops so I'm sure this is happening to other people as well.
    Regards,
    N

    Same with me nothing has changed. However what reduces it for me is if you change your battery settings to high performance. But it still does it, you will just find it will do it less.

  • When I burn pictures to a disc why do they duplicate?

    Whenever I burn pictures to a disc for some reason they duplicate. There will be two, three, four and sometimes even five copies of each picture or folder of pictures. What can I do to prevent this from happening. I would like to burn only one copy of each picture on the disc.

    How are you burning these images to your disc? Are you creating a burn folder? See this Apple Support Article. The instructions for OS X Mountain Lion are the same as the ones for OS X Mavericks.

  • Word documents have disappeared from my desk top (macbook air) and cannot be found anywhere, happened after switching off and re-bootingk

    Saved word documents have dissappeared from the desk top after saving. Problem seems to occur when laptop is switched off and then re-started. they can't be found anywhere e.g tried spotlight, recent documents etc. Help. Joe

    First, you might as well address the two apparently-minor issues you found:
    Some info on the Epson Scanner Monitor (via searching these forums):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8272208&#8272208
    Not sure about the MS Word message, but it looks like you might need an upgrade. I'd check with Microsoft, or perhaps VersionTracker.com.
    Ok, back to the original problem. Does the message have any other text (intelligible or not)?
    Does it give you any options, especially "report"? If so, take it, then look via Console for a crash log.
    What IS in the system log for the sleep/wake time? There should be a System Sleep, followed by a System Wake, and perhaps another line or two. Anything in that area might be helpful.

  • The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed) this keeps happening after it has told me to update Why ?

    while running Firefox it comes on the screen saying security update so after it ties to update this comes on the screen "The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)" I am running Firefox 6.0 and don't seem to have any other issues with it but it asks me several times to do this update but still says it cant do it
    I am running windows vista

    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You can also delete the active-update.xml file.

  • What will happen after disabling iCloud and connecting my iPhone to my iMac?

    Now that I disabled iCloud on my iPhone, indeed the data is still available on my iPhone.
    But now I tried to disable iCloud on my iMac, the data is lost.
    Is it safe to connect my iPhone to my iMac and will my data (from my iPhone) be restored on my iMac? Or will I los all data?
    Thanks in advance for your advice!

    The other 2 applications open like normal. All three give me info.
    Pages     ver.4.1          265.8MB
    Numbers ver. 2.1          89.5MB
    Keynote ver. 5.1.1        238.1MB
    They all list Apr 3 as the last time opened. That was when I upgraded to Mavericks. I certainly used pages and numbers since then as I have alot of my work files on this computer?
    Just very odd. I did find my original iWorks disc from when I bought the computer. I'm assuming i can reinstall it. Will try that. Thank you for all your help. Would still like to know what did happen?

  • Lagging Video, then sound drops after 19 seconds and 4 frames

    I'm having a problem with log and transfer this morning.
    I have an hpx170 that I am transferring from (p2 based), when I am setting my in and out points for transfer it plays perfectly fine, audio and video are synced. But after I've logged and transferred the clip and its in my bin I drag it to the timeline and play it back and video starts to lag behind audio and after 19 seconds or so, audio stops. I thought maybe my mac couldn't keep up with the footage (dvcpro hd 720/24p) in final cut only but when I render out a .mov file it still has the same problem in quicktime. I've tried importing at pro res and pro res hq but neither changes my situation. help!

    I have gone up to tools and to the advanced pulldown option but i get an error that says: "00022jb.mov - file does not contain dvcpro, dvcpro-hd, or dvcpro-50 ntsc video."
    I shot in 24p and final cut recognizes it as 23.97 fps
    In addition to this, I just noticed that when I transfer an entire clip, where it would display a filled in circle for a whole clip transfer, it only displays a half circle saying that it only transferred a partial clip.

  • Must restart after installing firefox and kde...WHY????

    Every time I set up an arch box, when I install firefox or kde (probably others) I must restart the computer before I can even execute them. This is mighty inconvenient and un-linux-like, I noticed that during the bootup, the Updating Shared Library Links takes a little longer after installing firefox or kde, is there a command I can run that does this after installing firefox or kde that dosen't require me to restart?

    phrakture wrote:You can also just "source /etc/profile" - but that won't help your window manager or anything
    I wish pacman or the .install files would check to see if /opt/foo, the path that the package was just installed to, is in $PATH and automatically source /etc/profile if it's not. I swear this is a top 10 question from users and rightfully so, they shouldn't have to deal with this. In my humble opinion.
    I'm pretty sure most do - however, that only sources it for root, not the user running - I have no idea, off the top of my head, if this works correctly under sudo.
    However, the important part is that your WM/DE is running under a totally different environment setup, and the 'export' stuff does not reach it.
    I can't really think of a good way to get around it - I know it's rather irritating to some people.  I wonder if adding something like "/opt/*/bin" to the PATH by default would work... I don't think it globs properly though...

  • After reinstalling FFox and Adobe Flash Player, why will a certain company webpage will not load, but it does in IE.

    For some reason a certain corporate company web site will not load on my desktop PC. The page is gray and white with some headings and a circle in the middle that goes round and round. I previously (some months ago) was able to access the site (and have for years). I am running Windows 7. I have cleared my cache, reinstalled FireFox, reinstalled Adobe Flash Player (even tried downgrading to Flash version 10). If I use IE, the site page loads with all of the graphics, etc. just fine, I have all of the same FF features on my laptop. The site opens up fine on my laptop. What's next?

    Is there content loaded on that page via JavaScript or a plugin like Flash?
    If the Flash plugin is active the you should get the Flash context menu if you right-click that area.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
