Loud noise when printing

print quality good but loud noise when printing. do printers need "oiling"?

Hello @mikeed, 
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that your 7500A is being rather noisy. 
I would like to help.
Unfortunately, there is not way to 'grease up' the printers gears.
If the noise goes away when the product is on, and disconnected from the computer, there might be a connectivity problem. Use the following steps to isolate a connectivity issue with the computer.
Shut down the computer.
Turn off the product.
Disconnect the USB cable from the product.
Wait 30 seconds.
Turn on the product.
Print a self test report
Turn off the product.
Connect the product to a USB port on the computer.
Turn on the computer.
After the computer finishes booting up, turn on the product.
If you still hear the sound, connect the product to a different USB port on the computer. Check the functionality of the product.
If you still hear the sound, connect the product to a new computer.
Check the functionality of the product.
If the sound continues and the product functions normally, the sound is a normal sound.
When the product prints, the rollers, gears, paper feed, and carriage makes noise.
When you print in the Fast or Draft modes, the product makes more noise than when you print in the Best or Normal modes.
Check the following:
If the product did not print successfully, check for a paper jam.
Check that the product supports the paper you loaded.
Make sure the paper is loaded correctly, the trays are extended, and the paper guides are adjusted properly.
You can also try the following.
Remove and reinsert the cartridges to make sure that they are correctly installed in the unit.
Perform a hard reset.
While teh printer is powered on, unplug the printers power cord.
Wait at least 30 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the printer.

  • Loud noise when skip to next song

    Nano makes a loud noise when I switch to the next song. It happens with songs that I have lowered the volume on in iTunes. Is there a fix? Thanks.

    You can't do that with iTunes. Believe me, I like that functionality, and I've tried. The closest thing is to have the mini player on top so you can click on the next track button with your mouse pointer.
    There is a music player I like to use, however, that you CAN do it with. No pressure to use it though. It's called XMPlay and available free at un4seen.com. Reply again if you need me to walk you through that.

  • Loud noises when scrubbing

    Hi there,
    I am getting really loud noises when scrubbing through the timeline. It only occurs when I have an mp3 underneath a series of other clips. Tgis has never been an issue until recently. I can mute the soundtrack to disable the noises, but this is not an ideal solution to work with. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Ask in the Premiere forum and provide exact info about your files, your sequence settings, your audio prefs.

  • ITunes 7.0.2 Extremely loud noise when you move files in Finder

    I could find only one thread that was close to what I'm experiencing:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3122307
    Every now and them, while listening to my iTunes music, when I drag and move a file/folder, a sudden extremely loud noise occurs. This noise almost sounds like a speaker distortion and goes away after 1-2 seconds. As soon as this noise goes away, the music being played in iTunes comes back.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this?
    Any input would be appreciated.

    I think I may be experiencing something similar. This just started today. iTunes 7.1.1, get a random annoying noise that plays into the music. Best description I can give is the noise the comp makes when it can't complete whatever task you are trying to do via pushing or typing on the keyboard. You no, just that real quick "thump". It only lasts for a second and is completely at random. Only occurs when I am playing music on iTunes. Clueless...

  • Photosmart C8180 Squeaky noises when Printing

    I have a Photosmart C8180 all-in-one printer.  When I hit print and the wheels or mechanics of the printer start to move, I get horrible squeaky noises.  It's not from the paper tray or photo tray but somewhere else.  It happens a lot during the process of the printing before printing actually takes place and once it's done.  The noises are getting worse.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of this noise?  I am worried my printer will break down if not taken care of soon.  I print a lot of photos but these noises also happens when printing documents.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi - Assuming you're in the US, you can call 866-234-1377 for service related options.  As for parts for the printer, you can go here to find the parts that are avaialble for the C8180.  I don't have any idea which part(s) would need to be replaced.  If you're interested in going that route, you might start a new post with that question specifically and see if another user on the forum might have some experience with parts replacement on the C8180.
    Hope that helps.

  • Loud noise when iMovie is launched.

    Hello,
    I've had my macbook for almost three weeks now and every-time i launch iMovie my Macbook makes a loud noise from the area where the CD drive is. It's done this since i first got it, so naturally i thought it was supposed to make that noise.
    Only it doesn't sound to healthy and I'm starting to wonder if it's right.
    The noise is hard to describe it's just a loud "fummm" noise that occurs when i launch iMovie and when i turn my computer on.
    I am all up to date with my software update as well.
    I was wondering if anyone else gets this noise? or what it could be?
    Thanks for your help

    Hello Steve,
    Is this a known problem?
    It is not a known problem with iSight. Here are a couple of things you should try.
    First, try turning your speakers' volume off before sliding the button. Then turn you sound up gradually, and let us know if the problem still exists.
    If you use an external microphone or speakers, you can also try disconnecting them to see wether they might be causing your problem.
    Next, try every suggestion re: Built-in iSight in How to Troubleshoot iSight. Be sure to include the checks to determine whether the problem is "application-specific" or "user-specific".
    If I am correct that you have already tested both iMovie and Photo Booth, you were wise to test with more than one application. However, Photo Booth does not record sound, so that may be why you are not getting the noise with Photo Booth. Try some other applications that can record sound.
    In addition to iMovie, any of the other video or movie clip applications from this list can record both video AND SOUND with your iSight. So can the apps linked in the "iSight as a surveillance or Nanny cam section of that page.
    If you have it, QuickTime Pro is an easy one to use with your iSight.
    Some clip recording applications, like Gcam, are free.
    Others, like WebcamTweaker, offer free demos that you could use to test if they give better results than iMovie.
    These tests will let you determine whether your problem is in your iSight itself or is an iMovie problem, and they may help you fix the problem while you are doing the checks.
    Please let us know what fixes your problem.
    If your problem remains after the tests, please post back what you tried and include any new info that your testing provides.
    Cheers,

  • Unwanted noise when printing in laser jet 1018

    I've been using laser jet 1018 for many years and all of a sudden it starts screech when printing. What can I do to stop this?
    If there is nothing to do but buying a new printer which other printer uses the same same toner cartridge?

    Hello magistern,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    The noise that you are experiencing could be cause by many different scenarios. The basis troubleshooting would include making sure the printer power cable is connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip.  Taking a light weight lubricating oil and applying very little to the gears.
    I realize that you have had this printer for some time. If you would like to see about some out of warranty options, I suggest  calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • Loud Noise When Recording, Portege M780

    Hello,
    I just got my portege a few days ago. When recording a video using the toshiba recording program, there is a very loud noise together with my voice in the recorded video. Would anyone have experience with this issue? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply . I've removed the cover when doing both tests I mentioned. The earphone I used is at good condition and I don't see any problem with it. I've also reinstalled the iOS as your instruction, but still no luck, the video sound still has noise.
    I've decided to export the video file to my PC to see if I can hear sound better or not, as it's hard to hear and sound except noise with the external speaker on my iPhone even at maximum volume. On my PC I had to increased playback volume to 100%, set volume booster to 300% and applied noise reduction plugin (I use Media Player Classic on Windows 7) to get an acceptable sound (still noise but better than the original). If I don't boost the volume, it's hard to hear anything. I don't expect it to be crystal clear like the voice memo (using the bottom mic), but too much noise like this is really bad.
    So I think it appears to be a hardware-related problem. I will later consider to send it to a phone repair shop or keep it and accept this bad video sound problem . In Vietnam we just have Apple authorized resellers but don't have any official Apple repair shops, that's why I'm still confused as I don't really trust those phone repair shops to handle my iPhone. Anyway, thanks again for your comment .
    P.S: it maybe a little off-topic, but do you know any video recording app that using the bottom mic ?

  • Loud noise when burning CD and will not burn DVD

    I bought an iMac a week ago and have been trying to burn DVDs - from finder, toast, popcorn and i have tried different brand DVDs and +R & -R all to no avail. i get a error message everytime.
    I can burn CDs, but it makes a really loud whirring sound (i mean unhealthy loud) throughout the whole burn process and then for a few minutes afterwards.
    Has anyone else experienced these problems? It doesn't sound normal.

    It's probably a media problem. I had a 100 pack of Verbatim CD's that vibrated and made a loud noise in mine. Like it was out of balance. They worked fine in other burners.
    If another brand does the same thing, then I'd be concerned.

  • Loud Noise when burning CD?

    My pro was purchased in January 2010, and I am wondering if it is normal to have a very loud noise while burning a cd? I just don't remember such a loud noise - humming/vibration type of sound before.
    Thanks for any feedback

  • LaserJet CP1025NW Color Printer - Weird cranking noise when printing or rotating carousel

    Just out the package today, the first time turning on the printer, during all print jobs and when rotating the cartridges, the carousel is making a weird cranking noise coming from the left side of the printer. I understand that this printer does make the winding/power-up sound, but this cranking noise is in addition to the normal sound. 
    I find this odd because I use the exact same printer at work and it does not make this noise and I am afraid that it is a faulty mechanism within the printer.
    I have checked to make sure that I removed all packaging from inside the printer and removed all cartridges and replaced them. I would think that all pieces that need to be removed would be bright orange. Also, the print jobs are not affected by the cranking noise. 
    Does anyone else have this problem? 

    Hi saidthegirl
    I understand the printer is noisy but will print.
    I have included the document for setting up the printer, to take a look at where all the packing material is located.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02469250&tmp_task=setupCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    If the printer is making unusual noise and you are using the toner that shipped with the printer then I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for further assistance to see what other options are available for you.

  • Printer making noise when printing

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g all in one printer. Running on Windows 7 64-bit
    I have started to notice a noise being made by my printer when the print head is moving. Either while printing or when the printhead is being cleaned. It sounds like picking at guitar strings.   When I check the status of my printer, it shows that everything is ok. I ran the HP diagnostic tool and it also showed that everything is working fine.  I checked the printhead health, and it showed that one was exellent and one was ok.
    I have not been able to find any similar issues on the support forum or the HP site.

    How long have you been using the printer? the printhead may be wearing out... as long as it still prints , its ok. YOu may need to replace the printhead in the future.

  • Loud noise when iSight launches from iMovie

    Hi everyone,
    I just bought a MacBook Pro and when I launch iMovie and slide the little button (scissors to movie camera) to turn on the iSight my MBP makes a loud (EEEEEHHHHHH) sound. When it happens it sounds like my speakers are going to blow. It lasts for about a second or two. Is this a known problem?
    The problem doesn't occur when I launch Photo Booth, only iSight.
    I'm current on all updates.

  • Squealing noise when printer is at rest

    When my HP ENVY 7645 is on but not being used it has a low repetitive squealing noise.  It goes away when the printer is used but after awhile of non-use it seems to go into another mode and begins the squealing noise again.  

    Nothing - absolutely nothing fixes that terrible background squealing except powering this machine off.  It sits right beside me on the desk.  I often have to leave it on because another user is sending to it.  It drives me crazy!  I've taken to playing music on my computer to drown it out but this is hard because I'm a writer and it messes with my thought processes.  Please - HP can't you do something about this.  The printer itself works great and I'm happy with it .  I've had HP products for years and this is the first one with such an annoying problem.
