I want speakers that do not buzz with the iPhone near them.

Has anyone found any good speakers for their computer system that do not buzz when their iPhone (or any other GSM phone) is around them?
I have some old Altec Lansing speakers on my computer and my wife's computer and they go crazy whenever she or I are on one of our phones and anywhere near the computers.
Anyone have any good suggestions for a new pair of speakers?
Thanks

It might not be the speakers that are the problem. I think that the wire that goes from the computer to the speaker also contributes.
As an example, I have a headset for my work phone. It has a long cable from the phone to the headset. When my iPhone is near the cable and I'm on the phone, I hear the interference. If I move the phone away, the interference goes away. It has more to do with the position of the iPhone relative to the cable than to the speaker on my ear.
Another example is when I've used a wireless microphone when speaking to an audience. If my phone is in my pocket and I'm speaking, the proximity of the phone to the wire connecting the microphone to the transmitter causes the interference. I simply have to move the phone away from the wire.
Effectively, I think the wires/cables that connect speakers to the computer are acting as an antenna that is picking up the interference. So you might get the best shielded speakers, but you also have to do something about the wire as well. This might explain why when you went to the computer store, there wasn't much of a problem, because the wires connecting computers to the different speakers may have been short.

Does anyone have a new MacBook Pro that makes a buzzing sound on startup?

My new (60 days) MacBook Pro makes a buzzing sound on startup- does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

Keep at the Genius Bar.
For one, you have a default 1 year warranty, which you do not want to let expire.
For another, that chine is a critical part of the system, that for some is an annoyance but at least it sticks around.
At some point, they have to either fix it or give you another (at least in my opinion they will eventually have to give me on that chimes).
Make a very good clone before you go back in. CarbonCopyClone ($40 download). You will need to clone it back onto a new system eventually, I suspect.

I need help designing a circuit in multisim that involves a buzzer, dc power source, and a relay.

Ive tried to build the circuit myself but i am having trouble getting the buzzer to go off. I dont know if im missing transisters or resisters or capacitors but im new to multisim.

You mean something like this? Toggle the key to activate the buzzer.

New Mail Notification Buzzing in your ear while on the Phone

Has anyone else had this problem...?
I find it strange that the phone buzzes in your ear while on the phone when a new email arrives. I find myself having to ask the person on the other end to repeat themselves when in the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden "...BBBUUUZZZZ..."...
Has anyone come across this, and/or figured a way around it...?
BTW- Love the phone...
PowerBook G4, Intel Mini (x2), iPod, iPhone Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Good Ideas, but it would seem that the phone would be "silent" while on a call, except for another call, of course...
Just an observation...

Lenovo G505 buzzing/rattling right speaker

Bought this laptop from Best Buy, I've only had it a few months. Today the right speaker started to make a terrible rattling/buzzing sound. It started out soft, and now it's a loud nuisance that happens regardless of level of volume I'm using.
I've used headphones, the buzzing doesn't happen with them in. I've unplugged the charger, that has no impact.
Hopefully this machine doesn't need to be serviced already. I'd even be satisfied to avoid being separated from my data by turning off the right speaker, but I only have the option to turn them both off.
Is this a known issue? What are my options for getting it fixed?

Hi Liahona,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that there is buzzing noise generating from the right internal speaker and working as expected in the Headphone in your G505 Laptop, I suggest you to perform “System Restore” in the computer, below are the links to perform System restore in Windows 7 & Windows 8.
System Restore for Windows 7
System Restore for Windows 8 & 8.1
Hope this helps!!!
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Are the buzz on AC power and the LCD whine caused by the same invertor?

Ok, I spoke with an apple tech guy and he said that I have an issue with a faulty invertor. Now after the call, I noticed that my screen whines with the level of the backlight. Now everything I have read here and elsewhere indicates that both the buzz I hear on AC power (and now somewhat on battery) and the LCD whine are caused by a faulty invertor.
My question is exactly what is in the title - when I take it in tomorrow to have them check out the invertor, are the buzz and LCD whine two symptoms of the same faulty invertor or symptoms of two faulty invertors?
Thanks,
Newmac

The sound you hear from AC is from a different circuitry then that of the display. I believe the displays supporting circuitry is located on the top right of your computer while the power system is located on the top left. They are different issues, unrelated to one another.

Is it worth sending a buzzing MBP back now?

Apparently, anyone who calls apple's tech support gets offered to send their MBP back to apple, as they call it a "defective unit."
Since it seems that all of these models are having the buzzing problem, is it worth sending my MBP back to apple, considering a temprary fix is keeping photobooth open?
Has anyone received a MBP that doesn't buzz?

I've seen one that doesn't buzz... Played with it, turned the volume down, up, screen brightness down, up... proc under load, no load... etc... Worked like a charm.

Vibrate and buzzing noise

Is there any way to adjust the vibrate on the Droid1. I just received my 3rd replacement and the vibrate function is so high that the phone buzzes loudly. I use vibrate often in meetings and I cannot quietly change my phone to vibrate or even use the function. It is also loud when the phone powers down. I know that my other three phones were not this loud. Went to the verizon store and they told me there is no way to adjust it but they've been wrong before! I had two replacements during the OTA upgrade so I don't know what the upgrade did - just know it changed a lot of things.

It is usually a loose slider...
2 of my phones have been really loud and they have a loose slider.
The other 3 have a "tight" buzz.

I am going to travel and want to take my airport express with me so I have a wireless connection. Can I do that?

I need to know if I can disconnect my Airport express and take it to a rental condo for the weekend, without a big problem. They offer internet, but not wireless .

the condo we're renting has a wired modem
Unfortunately, another complication.
We had assumed in your first post that the condo furnished an Ethernet port on the wall, and you would be connecting the AirPort Express directly to that Ethernet port with an Ethernet cable.....the same type of connection that you see in many hotels.
If the condo provides a wired modem......the chances are high that you will need to reset the AirPort Express back to factory default settings and start over again from scratch to try to get the Express working.
Some folks are comfortable with things like that, and some would never consider something like that.
Any way that you get the make and model number of the modem? That might provide a few clues.

OS X 10.4.7 upgrade--horrible buzz on restart after installation

Anyone else have this phenomenon? It happened right after installing the OS, then again after installing iLife 06. Very nasty sounding, but so far everything else seems to be working OK.
TIA,
--TIm

Hello, Tim,
No, not a problem here with the 4.7 upgrade.
Did you repair permissions before and after each installation? If not, do it right now and then do a restart of the computer and see if that corrects the buzz.

Buzzing earpiece iPhone 4

Hi,
I've just got a new iPhone 4 and during the first couple of calls I've made I can hear a buzzing sound coming from the earpiece.
I thought it was defective, but when listening to Voice Memo audio files through the earpiece there is no buzzing sound.
(To clarify it is definitely not the electro-magnetic interference sound caused by the proximity of other electronics.)
Any ideas what may be causing this?
Thank you very much.

Hi again,
I've tried a couple of things since I first posted:-
There was no buzzing at all when taking a call through a pair of Astro headphones.
Unplugging these from the 3.5mm socket during the conversation stopped the buzzing from the earpiece completely (again leading me to believe that the speaker diaphragm is not defective or dirty).
The next call I made had no buzzing whatsoever from the earpiece.
The call after that did have buzzing again (audible as soon as the ringing tone starts).
Buzzing does not seem exclusive to either making or receiving the call.
I hope this is useful in shedding more light on what's going on here.

Buzzing sound from earpiece

No idea why it's happening had the phone for a year and a bit (out of warranty) and now I can't make out a single word without running around looking for heaphones all i can hear is a loud buzzing sound only when the other person talks it kind of makes them sound like a bee, is there a fix for this or can someone direct me to a previous post that can help?

Audible noise, Noisy, Buzzing AEx Dual Band?

Got my AEx Dual Band and set it up this weekend. Connects via 5GHz to an AppleTV and Time Capsule; via LAN to my iMac / NAS / printer.
Good speeds, internet surfing is great, etc. It's as silent as a church mouse.
Tonight, the AppleTV was doing a major sync (hundreds of songs) and The Time Capsule began a backup. Call me crazy, but the AEx dual band started making noise!!! I swear I could hear a faint buzz with every song that was synced (you can see the titles progress on iTunes).
After cancelling the sync, all is silent again.
The AppleTV and Time Capsule are a couple of rooms away, so they are not the culprit.
Anyone else "hear" their AEx Dual Band?
Thanks
Will
EDIT: It DEFINITELY "buzzes" when syncing the AppleTV!!! Is this normal?

Problem Solved: I noticed the same problem a few days after I purchased my AEDB, so I called the store, who transferred me to Apple Care. The guy at Apple Care said I would have to take it back to the store so that a "Genius" could run some tests on it. I did just that, but the store was very busy and the "Genius" did not have the proper space to set it up and do testing, so instead he swapped it out for a brand new one. I asked him "So, if this new one makes the same buzzing noise, I guess we can assume that it's supposed to do that?", to which he replied, "Yup". I brought home the new one and plugged it in and it makes the same buzzing noise. I notice it most when I'm downloading HD content to the AppleTV. So the answer to this problem is either Apple has a whole bunch of defective units out there that make a buzzing noise, or that more likely, it just makes that noise.

Does your MacBook Pro Retina speakers buzz?

I have the new MacBook Pro Retina, which I absolutely love. The only issue so far is that the speakers buzz sometimes. I've tried different equalizer settings, which helps somewhat. Has anyone else experienced a buzzing or distortion in their audio output? It almost sounds as though a speaker is blown.

This is what I think the problem with the MB Pro Retina speakers is...
Frequency Response is very good. The speakers sound great with distinct sounds across a wide range of frequencies. But it sounds horrible with low quality TV or movie recordings where a lot of mid range and low frequency sounds hit at the same time in a muddled mess. Volume Handling is simply horrible across the mid and lower frequencies. Many movies will buzz when there is a lot of speech, music and bass going on at the same time unless you lower the volume to 1~2 bars.
This is not a problem with the recording except that the MBP Retina speakers don't like them. Recordings and low quality compression DOES NOT BUZZ, period. They may be low definition, they may sound muddled, they may have cut offs from exceeding the allowed dyanmic range, but they do not buzz. If you play the same movie on external speakers they will not buzz. If I play the same movie on my Dell Adamo it does not buzz. Listening to the same section of the same source on my earphones produce zero buzzing.
I am not sure if the problem is with the speakers themselves of other elements within the MBP Retina vibrating in resonance. But it is definitely annoying. And it sounds like component speakers with improper or missing crossover components allowing frequencies the speakers cannot handle at decent volumes to contaminate the driver or attempting to use mid-bass speakers as sub-woofers -- they actually have the frequency response just grossly insufficient travel of the diaphrams and cannot handle any decent volume.
We may be able to figure out the problematic frequencies and do a narrow cut in volume on them if we have a graphic equalizer. Unfortunately, unlike Realtek and IDT drivers, the Cirrus Logic drivers do not offer an EQ. I am tempted to open the MBP Retina up and try to graft an adhoc crossover onto the four speakers in form of caps and inductors. Given the low wattage of the components the caps and inds will be pretty small. But haven't gotten around to it yet... and part of me don't want to rip the MBP apart.
