Hi Doyle! 
Seems that there is a possibility that it could also be the Speakers. One of the best way of isolating a HW to a SW issue is to run a System Recovery on your notebook.
If this is done and you still have the same issue, then it only tells that the problem is HW and it could already be the speakers specificaly. And of course would need to be serviced.

    Do you have sound coming from the audio output port using headphones?  If so, when the plug is pulled out, is there a red light?
    You may need a PRAM reset:

  • MacBook Pro 13-Inch (Mid-2014): When opening lid I hear a "zipping" sound coming from somewhere inside the case. Is this the fan catching on something or some other component initializing? Or just normal?

    First time MacBook Pro user and being the OSD guy that I am with new electronics I wanted to ask if I should be hearing this sound when I open the lid, I guess by closing the computer goes to sleep, and when it wakes I hear a faint but noticeable "zipping" sound for a quick second or two. Is this just the fan starting back up? Thanks!

    I should note I believe the noise is coming from the right side of the trackpad.

  • Continual sound coming from the computer

    even when the computer is idle (could have sat for 2 hours) there is a constant gurgle sound (or light tap) (no jokes please) coming out of it. i've looked at the activity monitor and a prlvlapp and kernal_task take up anywhere from 5-10% each of the CPU. any ideas on what's going on? is this normal?

    The shorter and longer test both came up fine. There's still that constant drip (faint plunking sound). The pattern seems to be a 1, 2 then nothing for a few seconds and then 1 and then quiet for a little bit then 1, 2, 3 and so on. I'm sure that's the hard drive but if the computer has been sitting for awhile or is just sitting it doesn't make sense that this would be going on.

  • When I plug my headphones into my MacBook Pro, and I turn the volume up, I hear the little bubble sound coming from the computer speaker. What is wrong with my computer? I don't think it's the headphones, because i've already tried two pairs.

    How can this be fixed?

    Hi DS,
    Thanks for the response. Unfortunatly those documents are of no help to me. I have tried several times to boot into the AHT, which didn't work. And attempting to do an internet recovery won't even allow me to log into my wireless network, even though I know the password is correct.Let us try to go through this step by step, as I've been doing.
    1) After resetting the NVRAM it still does not see any new hard drive, and I don't need to select the old HD to boot from it. If it is in it works.
    Therefore this means that it is
         a) not the SATA cable
         b) not the new hard drive because my friend got his replacement HD today and I checked them both out. They both work fine on my other friends new macbook pro.
    2) The old hard drive can boot up regularly, and the new one can be seen via the SATA to usb connector and booted from, but not via the internal SATA connector.
    Also, I still can't boot into Parted Magic, or any other rescue OS I have.
    This seems like a very specific problem, and it definatly wasn't anything I did. I followed troubleshooting steps like I normally do and it wasn't a clusterfuck as you so elequently stated.
    Please take the time to respond to all of my questions this time, I feel like you are overlooking some very important information.
    Thanks,

  • Whirring, buzzing sound coming from my computer.

    Hi all:
    I have a four-year-old machine, and this buzzing sound is the same one I've gotten before when I first stick a DVD or CD in and the computer reads it. Now, however, it happens whenever I watch videos online (through Firefox or Safari) or when I go to certain websites that contain flash animation ads.
    It is basically a loud (and annoying!) whirring, buzzing noise that sounds like the fan is working overdrive. If you put your hand at the back of the computer you can feel air blowing out, and if you put it underneath you can feel that the computer is actually abnormally hot.
    I took it to the Apple store, they did a full scan of the hardware and said that nothing was wrong, and they also updated my system from 10.3 to 10.4.11 (Tiger). I thought that might make it better, but now it's become even worse, getting to the point where practically any website I go to sets it off at least for a few seconds, until I get out of the website and it starts to calm down again. Occasionally it goes to sleep entirely, and I have to wait a few seconds before waking it up by pressing the Spacebar.
    I have Norton Antivirus and thought it might have something to do with that, so I disabled the program that automatically scans videos as they stream into your computer, but the sound is still happening.
    Has anyone out there experienced this problem and dealt with it successfully? I thank you in advance for your help!

    So I have a bit of an update (again). I blocked the Flash ads as requested, which is nice because I don't have to look at them anymore, but otherwise does not seem to have helped.
    Now, when I go into pretty much ANY website at all, the computer starts making the noise no matter what. As soon as I click a link or switch a page, it again makes the noise.
    I'm beginning to despair of ever finding a cure for this, seeing as I took it to the very people who made the thing and they couldn't even identify the problem
    Thanks for trying to help, though. If you've got any other suggestions, please do pass them along. Much obliged.

  • Why is the sound coming from my computer have a lot of static (noise). ?

    Product Name: HP G62-223CL Laptop Computer
    Operating System: Windows 7-64bit
    No error messages.
    The Stereo Mixer - Realtek High Definition Audio produces noise (static) unless muted. Is there a way to correct this problem with software or is the audio board defective (broken)?
    This question was solved.

    Thanks for your response. Called Tech support and they suggested Uninstalling the audio board driver. That worked. After booting with an updated driver the noise went away. Thanks again...gtc

  • Why isn't sound coming from my ipod nano?

    I recieved a brand new 7th generation ipod nano. no matter what I plug into the device to listen to my music (headphones, earbuds, speakers), there is no sound coming from the device. even when I attempt to use only the built- in speakers, i can hear nothing. video works fine.

    First, ipod nano 7th gen does not have a built-in speaker. Second, a brand new nano jack is sometimes ifficult to insert, make sure it is fully inserted or flushed to the ipod body. Cheers!

  • Sound coming from iMac

    I bought my iMac 27" this past December.  Recently I started hearing a stuttering sound coming from the unit.  It sounds like a fan, but I'm not sure.  This happens sporadically, in sleep mode, or while in use.  Its not an audible sound, put the sound of a part moving or struggling to move. Has anyone experienced this?

    cujaflow wrote:
    What i meant is that it is not a system sound or alert or sound coming from the speakers.  I apologize, that is confusing.  In sleep it just sounds like a moving piece sputters, then it stops moving and is silent.
    Still confusing me.  Can you hear it during sleep (which I doubt) or just at the time of going to sleep?
    If the latter and while awake it could be a fan or the drive.  iStat Pro will give you some fan speeds and temperatures.  But unless the fan is running at a high speed due to some higher temperature (which would both be indicated by iStat Pro) it doesn't sound like what you are describing.  Of course iStat Pro is a good thing for you to have anyhow.
    The fan bearing may be starting to go, or fan blade sligtly rubbing on it's housing.  These can happen and by your description don't sound too serious (...yet).  Similarly for the hard drive's bearing.

    Hi
    It's likely your fan,  It always runs on a MBA.  Mine is very quiet, others report some noise - here is one link.  There are lots of others.
    Hope this helps

  • Some strange sounds coming from my laptop...

    Hi, there. Lately my iBook G4 laptop has been making some odd noises, and I was wondering if they were serious. First, sometimes when it is lifted, such as from a lap onto a desk, the cd drive sounds like it is attempting to eject a CD, but there isn't one in the drive. This has been going on for about a month, but only happens occasionally and not every time it is lifted, so I kind of forgot about it. Today, I noticed another noise that sounded like the back-and-forth motion of an inkjet printer head, coming from roughly the center of the computer below the keyboard. It was sitting on my lap at the time and the noise stopped when I put it on my desk. It wasn't loud, but it wasn't the type of noise you would want to hear coming from your computer. I think there may be a part loose that is causing the noises.
    The laptop was purchased new in mid-2005, and had been upgraded from 256MB to 1GB RAM last year. I'm very gentle with it, close the lid slowly and carefully after shutting down, and on the rare occasions when it leaves my desk it travels in a padded case to prevent it being jostled or damaged. It had been dropped once by a careless friend over a year ago, but it seemed fine and I noticed no problems with it afterwards or up until now. I don't use p2p programs or make changes to the operating system files, though I do have a few custom icons (only on folders on my desktop) and fonts. I have about 16GB of free space out of 60. I don't think software would be the cause of the issue, but you never know.
    Right now I'm backing up my files on a 320GB SeaGate external drive, in case my problem is catastrophic and I need to format or my drive fails. What would be the best way to back up everything I need to make my computer exactly how it was before a format? Right now I am copying the Macintosh HD folder right onto my external drive. Is there a better way to do it that will allow me to easily replace libraries, preferences and settings along with my personal documents? My father mentioned "imaging" or "ghosting", but he works with PCs and I'm not sure how to do that on a Mac.
    So anyway, here's a post summary. My computer sometimes tries to eject a CD that isn't there when it is moved, and today it made the aforementioned "inkjet printer head" noise until I put it on a level surface. What should I do, send it in to have a tech look at it? Since it seems to me like a hard drive issue, what's the best way to back up my computer such that all my preferences, bookmarks, libraries, and settings can be easily restored? My apologies if my post seems lengthy, I just wanted to give as many details as possible to provide background and be specific.

    I've noticed a similar issue.
    My external speakers blew recently, and up until this point I've never had a problem listening to audio. So I started using my internal speaker until I found new external speakers. Now the internal speaker is blown as well, after only a few days of use. Audio comes out of the internal speaker as clicks (cah-chunk).
    I'm wondering if there were some updates recently that caused this. I basically have no audio on my Mac Pro now, which is really aggravating.
    I have the early 2009 Mac Pro

  • Duck like sounds coming from PB

    has anybody experienced a duck like sound coming from the front of there PB? I dont know if it's my HD or superdrive.
    And now my PB is freezing on me every 15min. I did a clean install, and it's still crashing.

    Hi, zeronine, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Your OS does contain an indignant "quack!!" sound file, but choosing to have that used as one of the standard system sounds (as in "Stop! You don't want to do that!") is the only way I know of to get a duck inside a Tibook.
    I would guess that you're hearing your hard drive, but I've sure never heard any hard drive noise described as "duck like" before.

  • Beep sound coming from FIOS Box.

    Every 15 minutes, I hear beep sound coming from my Fios Box. What is wrong?

    if it's the battery back up in your garage or basement, then it's probably time to replace the battery.  that normally is an alarm that the battery needs to be replaced.   in your TOS when you activate your fios it describes that verizon will take care of the battery for 1 year, and after 1 year you are responsible to replace it. 
    battery mart on the internet is the cheapest place I have found to replace it.  16 bux plus shipping.

    http://www.batterymart.com/p-12v-7ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery-f2.html
    I don't know if it's an F1 connector or an F2 connector, so on the website they give you a little guide, and you can look at your battery and see which one it has. 
    if you installed within a year, then call verizon and they should send you a new one at no cost. 
    there is also an alarm silence button, but I am not sure how long it makes it a silent alarm for.  maybe a couple hours, maybe a couple days, someone else on here might be able to answer that. 

  • My sound coming from the internet on my MacBook Air is not working!

    I bought this MacBook Air a month ago is the new one, everything was working well but suddenly the sound coming from the internet stop working.
    My computer sound is working perfectly is just when I want to watch a video or listed a song from youtube talk on skype isnt working at all.
    When I press the volume button i can hear it.
    Can someone tell me what can it be?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
