Ipod touch making strange noises

My ipod touch (4th gen) is making a clicking/grinding noise when I am listening to pandora and try to go into the bump app. Is this a problem with the pandora or bump app or my ipod? Is it a hard drive problem? What can I do to fix this? I already tried restarting the ipod several times, sounds still occurs. But it ONLY occurs when I'm listening the the Pandora app and enter the Bump app (which turns off pandora) then I press play (on my headphones) and the noise is back. I'm really confused, what should I do?

Pandora is not a faulty app. This might be a problem with the ipod touch itself. Try resetting by holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 15 seconds until the apple logo appears. If that doesn't work try doing a restore.
A restore will delete all data from your ipod touch and return it to it's factory conditions but I can almost guarantee that it will fix your problem. I suggest you make a backup file for your ipod touch before doing this.
To restore your ipod touch follow these steps:
1. Connect your ipod touch to your computer and open iTunes if not already open.
2. Select your ipod touch from devices section of the source pane and open the summary tab if not already open
3. Under the version section of the summary, click on the restore button. An alert will pop up asking if you really want to do this. To affirm click restore.
4. The restore process has now started.
Now with your ipod touch restored you can re-sync and Pandora should now work.

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If yu can't turn it off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and service is required.

Why is my iPod touch making a static noise?

My iPod touch (2 gen) is making a static noise from the internal speaker. Anytime that I play my iPod from the speaker or headphones, it makes a static and crackling noise. However, it does work when I connect it to my iPod dock. I have tried the five R's and none of them work. What can I do to fix this?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

BOSE Mk1 Soundock & 1st Gen iPod Touch + Electric/Static Noise**

I have recently bought a Bose Mk1 Soundock for my 1st Gen iPod Touch, at first worked fine, brilliant lil gadet, but then it started to generate a reeeely high pitched electric/static noise when the battery was fully charged when music was both on or off, i returned and got an exchange for a brand new bose which didnt solve the problem so i can only assume its the ipod, so i put in a service request with apple, off it went and came back 'un-repaired' as apple 'could not reproduce the problem/s'?? since then it has started generating this noise regardles of battery level or music on/off and is reely, reely, reely annoying and is rendering the unit virtually unusable with the bose, am i the only one who can hear this or is anyone else having/had the same problem??!?

Hey
Is it this noise:

If so, I'm having the same problem. I've emailed B&W support about it. It doesn't occur without the ipod docked. Doesn't seem to be a problem with other docks though, so it could be fixable with a firmware update. In fact, it wasn't ever a problem with the original Zeppelin firmware, only after the update.

Macbook Pro 15" right fan making strange noise

I have a mid 2012 15" Retina MacBook Pro, 2.3 Ghz with 8 GB of RAM running 10.9.4. About 3 days ago it fell on to tile floor from about 10 inches off the ground and hit the floor at a 45 degree angle. There was no damage except for a small scratch near and under the charging port. Everything was working perfectly until a day ago when I noticed the right fan was making a strange high pitched humming noise. It's very quiet, I can only hear it when there's no other noise but it is extremely irritating when I can hear it. Other than the noise the fan works fine, it speeds up when when the computer gets hot, and in Temperature Monitor nothing gets hotter than it should be. The computer works completely fine, but I'm wondering what could be making the noise. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Ipod Touch acting strange

My ipod touch is acting really strange. Several things are happening, but I think they are connected somehow because they all started at the same time. First, when watching movies the screen expands and contracts. It's really distracting. Second, when listening to music or audio books, the display screen (with the song, play/stop/fwd/rwd) reverts back to the playlist screen. If I want to fwd to the next song, I have to hit "now playing" to get back to the screen with the song on it. Third, If I am scrolling down my songs, the screen will automatically shoot back up to the top of the list (the A's, for example)without me even touching it, and before I actually have time to make a selection. Has anyone else had these problems? I can't find any information on it. I have tried cleaning my screen and "restoring" my Ipod....both by hitting the two buttons on the touch and while synced to Itunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My advice would be to just go into an Apple Store and get it checked out with all these problems. If you don't have a store near you, you should arrange a call with an expert on the Apple website. Go to the support page, go to the bottom and select 'Contact Us'. Then choose what you want to do.

IPod Touch Weird Screen Noise

I have a new iPod Touch 4 and it has developed a worsening issue of what I can only call screen noise. At various times and in specific places flashing perpendicular lines appear. Typically in alert windows, on the top bar where the battery and other icons are, in the spaces where you put your unlocking code, etc. It is getting worse. They always go away when I start using the Touch so it doesn't compromise my use, but I fear this will lead to something worse. A gateway bug, if you will.

This seems to have gone away with the latest update. Thanks.

Macbook freezing, running slowly, and making strange noises

Hi. Just today my wife's MB froze while doing nothing more than playing music in iTunes. She had to leave so just closed the lid. When I opened the lid later, it came back from sleep eventually (playing the music), but was making an odd clicking noise. It sounded like it was coming from the upper right side under the keyboard. It didn't sound like the noises the optical drive usually makes, and there was no disc in it.
I left it charging, and when she came back to use it later, found that it was running really slow, taking forever to open applications (prolonged spinning pizza of death), and still making that strange noise. She restarted it twice, and the same thing occured after a reboot?
Any thoughts/suggestions? We have applecare, so we'll likely be giving them a call if it doesn't go away, but I like to check here first.

The same thing happened to my notebook last night, and I did some research. Apparently one of the reader arms in the harddrive separates from the drive and swings loose, digging gouges in the magnetic disk.
If it still boots, make sure you get all your un-backed-up information off of it before it crashes.
Mine is dead, and the only thing Apple can do is replace the drive.

My macbook (2009) keeps making strange noises. What to do?

Yesterday, my macbook started to make strange noises. A little scratchy noise. Like there's somthing wrong with the Fan or something.
I called Apple Support, but they told me i had to reset the SMC and PRAM/NVRAM. I triend, but the noise is still there.
Does anyone know what to do?? Is it bad?
Its a really annoying sound.

It could be the fan.....or the hard drive.....this is a link to a data recovery firm that has posted the various sounds made by failing hard drives.......

IPod touch making odd scratch sounds during playback

Whenever I play music through my iPod Touch (8gb 3rd gen(?)), I get these sparodic scratching sounds. It doesn't matter if I use headphones or speakers, the sound still gets distorted. The only time it doesn't happen is when I use the internal speaker.

Hi guys, i didn't want to creat a new topic, but found this closely related to my question. Could it be that when using non-apple standart 3.5mm jack could damage the audio socket on iPod? if no and yo ucna use any heaphones with standart 3.5mm jack, is it possible to get an official confirmation from apple?
Thank You!

Playing music from my new 4g ipod touch makes clicking noises in my stereo units speakers. Does not do it on my old Ipod

I have a new iPOD touch and when I play it through my stereo or car, the stereo makes apparently random clicking sounds in the music. It did the same with a unit I returned today for this problem. When I play the same song using my old ipod classic, using the same files, it does NOT make the clicking sound. Any ideas?

I'm having the same exact problem with our ipod touch 4g - considering exchanging ....but you have done that and still have the same issue??. Its not a consistant problem and can't recreate it on cue but its irritating when it starts happening cuz you start focusing on the clicking sound. We've used a couple different USB cables to see if thats the problem and it still happens.
Very interested to hear if anyone as any answers as to why this is happening..... Thanks

I need help with my iPod. It's making strange noises. Can I get some help?

I just got this brand new 160gb from the Apple Store. When I got home, I put all of my music and tv shows on it. When I started to use it, it started to make a buzzing noise, then a clicking noise, and then a noise that sounds like "pewwww" like it's powering down.
I was wondering if putting all that music and stuff on was too fast too soon. The "Genius" at the Apple store said it was a problem with the hard drive.
Thank you in advance.

I believe them. I was just wondering if the noises are something that will eventually go away with use. Something else I wanted to know is if putting ALL my music and other media on the iPod at one time is what did it.
