Loud Annoying Noises

My Satellite L305 laptop is making very loud and annoying noises. It is not the fan or the disk drive. Theyre a gurgling noise and they have been louder and more frequent this past month. I've only had this computer for a year. Could someone please tell what the source of this noise is?

I had the sample problem. It happened when I used my monitor speakers too. I realized it was a software problem internet explorere problem in my case. I fixed my problem by installing Internet explorer 9.If you have windows 7 OS, Internet explorer 8 won't work properly. If you see beta stay away from that tooooooo!
Hope that solves your problem.
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.

T61 Display Problem and Annoying Noise from ESC button area

I have two problems with my T61, model 6460-66U. One's with display and another is annoying noise coming from ESC button area.
Ordered in Feb, 2008 for college use, as soon as I start to use it there's some problem with the display quality. When using Aero there would be black square spots appearing on screen and would disappear when hovering mouse over these areas. Processing speed is somewhat slow when using Aero. While switching to Basic Vista style, those black square spots will only appear in the Windows Photo Gallery's left corner, like the image shows: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2746362257_6dc6a4d6a2_o.jpg When playing videos, like avi, rmvb, wmv files, there's a common problem that the screen in the media player keeps flashing with the green color. I thought it was the RAM, because it's 1G so it got upgraded to 3G over summer break. Hoping the problem would be solved, but not . Recover the system back to factory status helps a little, but after upgrading the newest driver (7.15.11.7597) of Nvidia 140m there would be sudden black out on screen, and notice of display driver stopped working. When degrade to 7.15.11.129 version it runs fairly well but problem with Photo Gallery and videos as mentioned above still exist. I found a Korean media player which could fix the video playing problem, but with Windows Media player, Realplayer and other major video player the problem still exists. Screenshot of the problem is here http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3087/2746362307_aff12c556c_o.jpg I upgraded BIOS, but laptop would become slow and video images would blur/double shadows. So I swtiched it back.
And recent few days, there's annoying noise coming from in the upper left corner, where ESC button is. I don't know whether it's from the fan or the AC adapter, it's like Zssssss, and if I press my finger on it, the noise would be a little louder. There's a similar problem that I noticed in the first few weeks with the experience of this laptop, whenever I maximize the volume (both volume control of computer and the music player), some annoying noise, which is similar to this Zsss sound but louder will buzzing along with music. Didn't care much about that since if I don't maximize the volume it would just be fine. But this time the whining noise won't disappear. What probably cause this? Anyway to fix it, like replacing certain parts??
Suggessions and help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!

Dirt can get under the button in an instant.
I use a strong suction vacuum cleaner and tip the computer from side to side and upside down while clicking the button to suck out the dirt.

Macbook pro retina start to make loud fan noise and work slow

I bought macbook pro retina display less than one years ago. For some reason my macbook pro has been making loud fan noise for about five mounth. Whenever macbook pro makes the noise, all the programs start to run slow. Typing, opening safari, and etc takes forever. It takes 20min to 40min for the noise to stop. At first, the macbook pro made noise once or twice in a day, but now it's making the noise frequently; It happens every 2-3 hours. It got to the point where it start to annoying me. Is there a way for me to fix this issue? If not, can I use one year warrenty to fix this problem? Thank you.

If your Mac works slowly when fans turn on, it's quite possible that there's a process which is eating the CPU and/or RAM.
Open Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities), select "All Processes" above "Show" (in the toolbar) and then, order the processes by CPU usage. Do you see any process which is consuming more CPU or RAM? If so, tell us the name.
Additionally, you can reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Annoying Noise in MacBook Pro, 17-Inch, Early 2008, Somebody help !!!

Greetings!
I have MacBook Pro 4,1, 17-Inch, Early 2008. I have been using this mac since 2010 and it was perfect, never had any serious problem.
Recently, it has started making this stupid + strange + annoying noise sound, and finally now I have a massive headache.
Noise is coming from the speaker (also in earphone, if i connect one) and it's really loud.
But the noise only starts on any sound activity, suppose if i click on the volume control and that should make a little sound, and then this noise starts, or on any sound activity like listening to song, or watching movie, this noise is present for the entire movie/song or any speaker acitivity and it's like storming sound, and a constant noise strong enough to make u go mad. This noise will lasts for 35 seconds after the actual movie/song sound stops, even for a single clicking sound.
Tried almost everything found on the net, no luck.
Help someone.
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:    MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:    MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo

thanks for the suggestion, but if speakers were faulty then why the noise is also present in earphone??
I am just trying to find a home remedy for this.
Cause my local apple store suggested me to replace the logic board !!

Updated to Mavericks and loud fan noise

Just done a clean install of Mac OS X Mavericks, updated fine, everything went well.
however most of the time, my macbook pro fan noise would go really loud for 5-10mins even in idle or if im on the internet just browsing.
this has not happened ever on mountain lion.
its really weird.
Does anybody know how to fix this? or is this a bug and would i have to wait for a software update?

Hello all,
I am having the same issue, constant loud fan noise in my Mac book pro. Below are the specs:
"MacBook Pro
13-inch, Mid 2010
Processor 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Software OS X 10.9 (13A603)"
And CPU is 90% idle.
I tried to reset the SMC using the steps:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Plug your Mac in, if not already plugged in.
3. Press (left side) Shift-Control-Option & the power button at the same time.
4. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
5. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Inaddition, i have reinstalled OS and reset PRAM memory but the problem still exists.
It really feels annoying with the fan sound. Could someone give a fix.

Loud screeching noise

not sure if this is something on my end or what, but my whole family has AT&T. i am the only one with the iPhone 4s well when my friend calls me from his Verizon iPhone 4, sometimes when i answer i hear this horrendous loud screeching noise! he claims it is my phone. he never hears the noise. but it only happens when he calls.. not when i call him or when anyone else calls me... but it doesn't happen to anyone else when he calls them... is this an apple or AT&T issue?? sometimes it happens more frequently than others and it is getting really annoying to have to answer his call, listen to the noise, hang up, then call him back and hear him scream because my phone is a piece of crap. anyone else had this happen to them??

his phone is crap, and so is his network provider. its definitely not your phone. all phones experience this on occassion, sometimes when the signal is weak. if this doesn't happen when anyone else calls you, just him, then that's a pretty clear indicator that it's got to do with him, and his phone, not yours (you've got a 4s, the best phone on the planet). verizon *****, their network technology is inferior in every way. i would suggest you either convince him to move to at&t or stop being friends with him?

Loud fan noise while gaming on GT70 gaming laptop

I've loved my laptop ever since I bought it but there seems to be one problem with the fan possibly.
The fan noise is really audible and it gets annoying when I'm gaming. Games like Fable Anniversary (highest setting) forces the fan to be turned on and make loud noises that even wearing a headset wouldn't help avoid. You know how new MSI laptops have a button for turning on cooler boost 2? It feels like it gets turned on by itself while playing some, if not most games.
I would first like to know if this is normal for a gaming laptop. Its REALLY annoying, I even tried the GT70 Fan control 1.63 but the fan keeps turning on by itself. I understand that the GTX 870m gets heated fast and therefore needs to cool off, but like on almost every game.....Skyrim, Tera (not even that demanding.....and not even on max setting ....) long hours of playing league of legends, The Last Remant..etc. I wanna play without such loud fan noises I don't mind if its audible but not too loud, I can even hear the fan noise from upstairs if I leave my room door opened. I would really enjoy playing Tera and Archeage without such irritating, loud sound that really distracts me and makes me fear that its abnormal. Hell, even Rift (MMORPG) released in 2011, would turn on turbo fan.... =(. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Specs:
Name: GT70 2PC Dominator
Intel Core i7-4810MQ

There isn't much you can do with the tool but better than nothing.
It didn't fix the fan problem =/
I'm not the only one with such problem, https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=256673.0 look at the 2nd video and just listen to how loud the fan noise is. (Yes different models but same crap)
The silent option doesn't fully stop/slowdown the fan, maybe just momentarily then once you open up the game, the fan goes back to its usual 3k RPM. Is there ANY way to stop this? its been happening ever since I bought it and it really makes me not wanna play simply because of the noise that is audible even through wearing a headset. Let alone not wearing a headset....
Sad it happens even when playing fifa 15. I mean is fifa 15 even THAT demanding? the answer is no, not even close to demanding as its using the same engine as 13, 14 ..etc. Also, I played it on my old lenovo laptop that had WAY lower specs such as gt 650m graphics card and yet the fan was extremely quiet, and I might add it was on highest setting....
I understand that the gpu can get heated fast, but on almost EVERY game? at first I thought the fan will only make such noises when playing highly demanding games such as Skyrim. A game from 4 years ago without any frkin mods. or Fable Anniversary..OR Prison Break: Conspiracy (what the f?) but it turns out that the fan will go turbo mode on literally every game. so in conclusion, every game is suddenly demanding thus the Cooler Booster 2 will automatically turn on.

Laserjet Pro m177fw makes loud clicking noise and then is stuck initializing, won't print

Hi,
Had this printer delivered today, it looks awesome, but when I turn it on, it has a loud clicking noise (like something trying to turn, but not grabbing a gear or something inside, this happens immediately upon turning it on, and then it's stuck in Initializing. If I go into the home button and go to system settings, then reports then configuration report, I get a big green check. I did notice that on the right most menu item, there is a yellow warning, and it doesn't seem to be able to get the detail on the ink levels of the colours. I took out the ink cartridge and looked at it and it doesn't look like there is something to pull out to activate the cartridge (there was in my really old HP Laser jet).
What am I missing on setup? I've read the instructions twice and also hard powered off the printer by pulling the plug and waiting a minute to plug it back in. Same thing occurs, thanks!
Sean
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Please follow these steps to take the cartridges out.
Touch the Icon and indicated on the pic.
It will come up with a screen which looks like this
Touch on the black cartridge icon and it will display " moving black cartridge to front".
Now open the cartridge door and remove the black toner.
Close the door and touch the cyan and it will move it to the front and you will have to open the door again and take the cyan out, close the door again and repert the process for magenta and yellow.
And when you want to reinstall them the same steps have to be repeated.
Do let me know the results

HP Laserjet P1005 printer makes a loud rasping noise as soon as it is turned on

My Laserjet P1005 printer makes a loud rasping noise as soon as it is turned on. The noise stops when the top cover is opened, but starts again when the cover is closed. The printer has been used sparingly at home and from a cursory inspection, the rollers seem to be okay. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thank you!

Hi @Dunn1 ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

Mac Pro will not boot, constant loud fan noise and nothing else

hello,
earlier tonight,i put my mac pro on sleep, then later on, when i wanted to take it off sleep and use it, it made the loud fan noise, which it always does but goes away, but this time it the fan wount slow down and the loud noise stays and i dont see anything on the screen. im guessing the fan noise is the ATI x1900 card...
any help please..i just bought it 2 months ago...

Hi, here are the steps I would go through. I would unplug the Mac Pro completely from everything and look at the video card's fan intake to make sure it isn't plugged and just make sure everything "looks" correct. I would then plug the machine back into one monitor/keyboard/mouse (leave all the other peripherals disconnected. Once that is done push the power button. Does anything happen? If not then if you have another mac and an external hard drive, make a copy of the OS on the drive and see if you can get the Mac Pro to boot off that drive. If the video card doesn't work then it will not show anything when booting off an external drive. If the external boot does work then I would suspect that you have a bad hard drive (or it crashed). At that point I hope you have a back up of all your data and such.
Mind you these are steps I would go through. What a nightmare. One other thing to check, make sure your monitor didn't die.

My 2008 Macbook Pro makes a loud fan noise.

Hello -
I bought my 15" macbook pro back in October 2008. I was very happy with my purchase due to the machine's performance. But over the past year I have noticed an increase in the fan noise. It almost sounds like it's hitting against something at a very high speed, hense this irregular fan noise. The noise also increases drastically when I am working on Photoshop or InDesign. I also partitioned my hard-drive to hold windows so I can work on AutoCad.....noise increases also as I work on my machine.
Why is this happening? Could this loud fan noise damage any internal component to the machine? Should I bring it in to Apple immediately?
Thank you!

Some of the applications that you mention are somewhat CPU intensive which creates heat and results in fan speed increase and hence additional noise (to state the obvious). However if you are experiencing excessive noise when CPU loads are modest it could be that your fans are failing as all mechanical devices eventually will or you may have 'schmutz' inside that is the cause of the unwanted noise.
I suggest you open the MBP and see if there is any dust in the fans that may very well be affecting their performance. After 4 years, this is not an uncommon situation and it could be the solution to the problem.
If not, then you may consider getting replacements from iFixit or Powerbook Medic and replace them your self. It is not rocket science in this instance. If you suffer from chronic fingerfumbilitis, then have the Apple store do it for you.
Ciao.
