Mic is making a static noise

I never had a problem with my mic before, but recently it has started making a static noise when i talk, that i cant hear but others can. I have a pavilion desktop pc. It does it with any mic i plug in, and in any voice chat programme i use. I have tried changing some of the setting etc, but am not great with computers, so im not really sure what i need to look for, any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi,
Try checking if there isn't anything weird with the sound setting.
Go to "Control Panel", click on "Sound", in the "Playback" tab click on the "Speaker". You can check the settings from there then.
Good luck!

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.

My iPod touch 4g is making a static noise in the speaker and in headphones help!!!!!!

It makes this loud static/cracking noise out of the speaker whenever I try to play music or a video . It also does this out of the headphone jack to I know this because I have a brand new pair of beats by dre solo hds and there's still static in the bit when I tried it on a different device the headphones worked perfectly fine.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Macbook Pro charger static noise

So I have been looking at the different discussions about why some macbook pro chargers are making a static noise while connected to the mac, but none of these really fit my situation. For some reason when I plug in the charger in an outlet that is high up, like an outlet that is on the ceiling, so that the charger is dangling down, the static charge noise starts up. But when I plug it in an outlet that is on level with, or below, the macbook, the charger does not make any static noise. Anyone have any ideas why this may be happening? Thanks!

When you plug it into the ceiling, gravity is pulling the sound down toward your ears. When you plug it in low on a wall, gravity pulls the sound down away from your ears. What happens if you lie on the floor with your head below the adapter and its wall outlet? Aha! Just as I thought!
But seriously — I have never heard, or heard of, the noise you're talking about.

How can I get my ipod nano (6th gen) to stop making a static-y noise when I try to listen to my music? It has been doing this for a week and the music is faint while the static is louder than it.

It has been doing this for a week and the music is faint while the static is louder than it. I try plugging it in to my iTunes and when I un-plug it, it still makes the loud static noise. I have also tried tapping my knuckle on the back of my ipod nano. This has not damaged it at all nor caused this to my ipod. There is no water damage to the ipod. Only a few scratches from a couple drops. The drops have been on concrete but not at a very high distance. How to I stop this? Do I need to replace my ipod instead?

Have you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones? You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack. Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage. You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?

IPod making static noises

When I am in the middle of using my iPod (4th generation iTouch) it will make static noises then freeze. Then it will reset and not turn back on for at least another 2 hours. It just shows the apple symbol or the spinning wheel. Once it finally turns back on it will only work for about 2 minutes then do the same thing over again. Please help because I use my ipod for many things and its a pain when it won't work

Audio plays fine on the speakers, it's the earphones that make the noise. I tried using a different pair, and the noise SEEMS to be gone. Also, alongside the audio popping, the volume lowers slightly whenever the noise occurs, and sometimes my songs/videos pause randomly. I've noticed the glitch only occurs when I move my iPod, so if I wanted to just carry it from my desk to my bed, with earphones in and audio playing, it pops. Keeping it still, it almost never happens.
It seems as if the earphones I were using are just faulty, but using them on my laptop, they're fine. My friend who is also tech-savvy says it's possibly a problem with my earphones, and I think so as well, but with all this new info I just shared, is the problem caused by the iPod itself?

Headphones making ringing and wavy static noise only in windows.

I have my mac quad booted between 10.5, 10.6, win7 and ubuntu. Under 10.5, 10.6 and ubuntu, the sound works flawlessly. however, under windows 7, whenever there isn't any sound playing, or there is low-volume sound, the headphones will make chirping ringing, and static noises. They appear to be in a pattern, one that changes depending on the last system-sound played (i.e back button in windows explorer, or ventrilio talk sound...) or while changing volume. This issue has occurred with bootcamp drivers 2.0, 3.0 or 3.1, or generic realtek drivers, under Windows 7. (both the beta and final ultimate versions [fully updated]) Windows 7 has been re-installed multiple times, and these sounds have been confirmed to happen before any software other than drivers are installed.
I can't seem to find any solution that fixes these sounds. I know that it isn't hardware related because my other 3 OSs do not make this noise. Any help would be much appreciated.

MacBook Makes odd Static noise ~NOT SPEAKERS~

I have just recently reinstalled Leopard after a hard drive error (possibly caused when I dropped it 4 feet :P), and everything was fine. But I noticed that my speakers weren't as loud as they were and they sounded kind of muffled. Then the MacBook just started making this subtle popping noise, but that stopped after a day, but now it makes this horrendous loud static noise out of no where, and *it is not the speakers* because I turn them down and it still makes the noise. The noise has stopped for now but if I try to listen to iTunes it is VERY garbled. Could this possibly have something to do with the hard drive or disc drive or any kind of hardware issue? Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Just because you turned down the speaker volume but yet can still here the static noise does not mean that it is not coming from the speakers. Since something is damaged or broken you cannot assume that turning down the speaker volume will keep an errant sound turned down also.
Since you dropped the computer from 4 feet the problem could be just about any hardware component, from the hard drive to the logic board.

Static noises when calling normal?

i have been experiencing static noises when making phone calls. im the only one who can hear them and not the person im calling.(already confirmed myself.) is the at&t service or is the iphone defected. i hear the static through the normal earpiece at the top(not headset) and in speaker mode. thanks.

Hi all,
Mine does it too. Has nothing to do whatsoever with at&t. None of my other phones do this.
I have a hiss sound I can hear in my earpiece that kind of overlays each word I speak.
I have posted 2 other threads here and only Allan Sampson has responded and understood what I was describing.
The information I have gathered online points to the fact that all NON 3 G phones have a poor sound quality compared to a 3G phone of any make.
Or maybe some of us just have bad ear piece speakers. If so chalk this iPhone up as bad returned iPhone #5.

Consistant Static Noise noise changes when performing actions on laptop, need he

I have a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit External sound card which I have my DJ equipment connected to. The problem I am coming across is static noise coming through the speakers. The sound is there when the audio board is powered on?or off. I have already did basic troubleshooting and I refered to theKnowledge Base on this site.
Power of laptop is in a different source, soundcard has the latest downloads, speaker cables are fine etc. I want to check the Bios on my computer but I don't think I am that tactful to do this. Anyways, I will cut and paste my message I started on Mediamonkey.com, I am GDTRFB66. I basically wan't to know if there is a filter or a better sound card I can purchase to knock out the interference the computer is making. I Usually only run 2 speakers, sometimes I will connect smaller speakers through my audio board and run it through source. Also the ststic noise is there when I just connect my computer directly to my laptop and it uses the onboard sound card, so I doubt it is an issue with the sound card.
I really would like some additional help here is the post I submitted on Media Monkey......Next Message

USB Microphone static noise OSX Yosemite.

Same thing as the title recently upgraded from late 2008 iMac using Mountain Lion to a late 2013 iMac using Yosemite and now when I plug in my USB headset into one of the 4 USB slots the microphone is robotic and static noises appear. When I plug the headphones into the Usb slot in my keyboard the mic works fine. Anyone else experiencing this?

What version of Premiere Elements are you using on your Mac computer? Is your USB microphone a standalone or part of a USB web cam type device?
Classically the Adobe ReadMe mentions that USB Microphones do not work with Premiere Elements. Yes, I have seen a report that USB microphone would be expected to work with correct Control Panel and program Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings at least in versions 10 and 11 Mac.
Please see a thread from last year and its discussion on the matter.
I can't get premiere elements 11 to see my usb microphone?
Some have found a few USB Microphones that do work in Premiere Elements (any version), but those reports are scattered. So to answer your question
will an other usb microphone work?
maybe or maybe not is the best answer I can offer at this time.
For troubleshooting purposes, can you create the narration in a free audio editor like Audacity and then
import that narration into the Premiere Elements project (Add Media/Files and Folders) without issue?
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Perhaps we can encourage Premiere Elements users versions 4 to 13 who use a USB microphone to post in your thread (for informational
purposes) the brand/model USB microphone that has worked for them.

Why are there faint static noises coming out of the speaker of my iPod touch

There are faint static noises coming out of the speaker of my iPod touch fifth generation

I Just got home and noticed it. It's coming out of the iPods speaker, Not headphones.
For a few moments it was making popping noises. I shut it down and the static is still going. No sounds are playing.

S90 Static noise during video recording

Everytime I do video recording on my S90, I can hear static noise during playback.
Does anyone else face this problem? Is this hardware or software related?

Update the S90 via OTA
Once that is done then try again. If problem persist then open dialer and press ####1111#.
In engineering mode, select back mic test in Item test. This will record via back mic and will playback. If you still hear static during this time then bring it to the service center.

Tactic3D Alpha Static Noise / Sound Distortion

I recently bought a Tactic3D Alpha and I'm having some problems with it. At first, when talking to my friends on Skype, they kept telling me that they could barely hear me (mic volume was at 100%), then I saw the "new" firmware and installed it (before installing it, it seemed that the one I had was more recent, but I'm not sure, since they don't specify any date, only a hexadecimal(I think) version).
After that, I didn't notice any volume improvement of the mic (my friends kept telling me that I was talking "inside a well"). But a bit later I started noticing that when some sound (Windows sounds, music, etc.) was playing there was always some static noise. In some cases, on some songs with lots of bass, the sound even got distorted. The static noise is even more noticeable when using earphones connected through the usb soundcard.
Even when using the default Windows 7 (x64) driver (the one that is automatically installed) this issue happens. It also happens on Ubuntu 10.04. So it makes me believe it's either a firmware or a hardware problem.
I'm not sure if it was the firmware update that started this problem, but I don't remember noticing any static noise before the update.
Firmware Version I have now: D0_01_21 .
I don't remember exactly what was the version of the firmware the came on it.
Is there any other firmware available that I can try and see if it fixes my problem, even if it's older than this one?
Using the headset connected to my onboard soundcard (a Realtek one) works fine. Mic volume is decent and no static noise / distortion is noticeable. The only drawback is that I can't use the enhancements that the USB soundcard of the Tactic3D Alpha offers.

Hi,
Did this happen right out of the box?

Just contacted the support a few moments ago. Waiting for a response now (already received the automatic email).
I'm just not sure if it was happening before the firmware. If it was, I didn't notice it. :robotsad:

I can hear the fan making a weird noise. What can i do?

My brand new macbook pro is making weird fan noises, like something stuck or loose. I had the same problem with my windows computer. I got my mac two weeks ago. I did not pay $1300 to have the same problems.

You make an appointment in advance. They look at it and tell you what's up. If they have the parts, they can fix it on the spot. (but they will take it in the back where they have a static-free workstation). Fan replacements (if that is indeed the problem) are straightforward, but the parts are special Apple parts.
There is no need to touch any data, but service always begs the question, "Do you have backups?" If not, what if your drive died tomorrow?
If you have an external drive, Time Machine is good because it does the backup (when the drive is available) automatically at low priority in the background. It does not interfere with your work.
