Need to remove a guitar buzzing sound

I have an old Strat that is a bit noisy. Just picked up a Mogami chord and it helped reduce the buzz a lot, but there is still some there. I was wondering if there was a noch filter in the EQ to lower just that frequency. Also, does anyone know what that frequency might be? I don't think it is a 60 Hz hum, but a higher sounding buzz.
Thanks

You might try turning off the lights in the room and checking for other electrical interference. I put Christmas lights in the studio and turn off the main lights and that got rid of any buzz I had.

Buzzing sound when plugging in guitars

I've been getting this buzzing sound when I plug in any electric guitar or bass into my computer's audio input. This used to happen only when I used my telecaster, and I figured it was just the make, but now it's happening with my other electric and to basses to... it also varies in volume depending on the day.

Buzzing and hum can be caused by a lot of things. Your tele was probably getting the buzz from a single coil pickup.
First make sure it's not your guitar cable, it's a long wire just like a antenna and can pickup stray noises from RF and electromagnetic devices.
Bad ground in your guitar or bad solder joint guitar or cable.
Move things around lights, speakers, TVs, computers and just about anything electrical can cause noise.

Horrifyingly loud buzz sound happens after I burn and eject a disc, WHY??

Hey everyone,
So this insanely loud, like blowing out my speakers loud, buzzing sound, comes out of my speakers after I rip a cd and eject it. Has this ever happened to anyone???
Here are the specific details:
This has happened only twice before, but just happened twice tonight.
The sound itself is a short burst of noise, like if you ever plugged into a guitar amp with the volume at max.
It only makes that sound when I remove the CD, if it sits halfway in the drive it wont make the noise till I pull it out.
I am using iTunes on an Intel based iMac.
Its almost 1am and it really is scary and disconcerting when this happens, especially because it happened twice in one night! Imagine listening quietly to music and then this MASSIVE loud noise blasts through your speakers late at night. Its like my computer just yelled me...
Anyways, thanks your time
Best,
-Reid

To see if this is something actually going through the iMac's sound system (and not some hardware malfunction), mute the sound in System Preferences Sound pane. Then do whatever it is that makes the sound occur"? Does the sound still occur, or is it now muted. Actually, you don't need to mute the sound, just make it lower. That way, you can tell if the sound still occurred. Is the loudness affected by the sound volume setting?

Audio line-in buzzing sound

hello guys ! i just bought a macbook last month and currently still learning on how to get used to mac.as a guitarist im very exited to try out the GarageBand.after i plug in the audio jack from my guitar to the audio line-in port,i found out that there is no sound from the strings of my guitar.there is only the buzzing sound.the input level also shows a not static level instead of steady level.what do i have to do friends ??
forgive me of my language as english is not my main language
thanks !!

Hello,
Most likely, the output from your guitar is too low and therefore sounds like silence from your Macbook. You will need to amplify your guitar output to work with your MacBook. Since you are a guitarist, you might already have the right equipment--connect your guitar to a preamp, and then to the macbook. If you don't have a preamp, I think you can plug your guitar into a regular amp, and then connect that to the macbook.
* There are two kinds of input signals, distinguished by levels. Commonly, they are called "mic-level" and "line-level." Most guitars pickups will output mic-level, which needs to be amplified to line-level to work with computers. MacBooks only accept line-level inputs.

I have used an acoustic guitar w/ preamp with Garage band on macbook, so I can tell you that it definitely works.
Rock on!

Buzzing sound from my microphone

I need some help after installing Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Series. The sound is great but yesterday while using skype my friends could hear a buzzing sound. The sound occured while I was playing battlefield bad company 2, but it's probably while playing any game. My friends described it as the sound of a shaving machine.
I use a AKG Headset GHS so it's not due to bad quality, and I also tried using an older headset from logitech with the same results. Any ideas?
Cooler Master Gladiator 600 ATX, mATX, Midi Tower
Corsair TX 750W/80+
MK Asus P6T Deluxe V2 , Socket, 366/X58/ATX
Corsair 6GB (3KIT) DDR3 333MHz/CL9/XMS3-0600 Triple Channel

The Mac Mini's audio input is for Line level audio input, meaning that the signal from a standard microphone or guitar pickup is to week and needs to be amplified.
To use a non-amplified microphone, you will need to use something like:
a > Amazon.com: Griffin Technology iMic USB Audio Device: Electronics
or > MXL iBooster Guitar and Microphone Interface | Musician's Friend
Likewise, most USB microphones will also work. usb microphones - Google Search

Buzzing sound appeared again- hp pavilion ultrabook 14-b006sa

hp pavilion ultrabook 14-b006sa- windows 8
I ve tried the Troubleshooting tool in Windows 8,but there each speaker seems to work properly.
I have instablished the most recent Audio driver update from HP, 'IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver', as you had told me few months ago, but the problem still exists. i had followed as well the steps on the document 'No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8)' but did not help.
Please Help!!!!!!
Thank you

Hi kp161. I have reviewed your Previous Thread. If the basic troubleshooting has not produced a permanent resolution I will need more information. You mentioned that the buzzing sound appears from various sources. I want to use YouTube as our starting point. Find a video that you get the buzzing sound in, and note the time in the video where the sound occurs. If you play it again, does the buzz happen at the same point again? Does it happen through the speakers? Does it happen through headphones?
Let me know.

I need to remove an AOL email account that is not attached to my Apple ID. This is on an iPAD. It is not showing in Accounts. However, I cannot delete the mailbox,. Please advise

I need to remove an AOL email account that is not attached to my Apple ID.
I am receiving email and I cannot delete the mailbox. Please advise.
the account is not viewable in settings.

I am assuming that this mail is coming into the Mail App, not another third party app, correct?
Is the AOL account showing up as its own mailbox in the mail app? (e.g. I see "All inboxes", "iCloud", and a third mailbox that is my second email address.)
Every "mailbox" except the "all inboxes" are going to be in the settings under mail, Contacts and calendars.
If the mail is coming into a mailbox that isnt the AOL mailbox, then it sounds like you have your AOL mail being forwarded to another email adress.

Iphone dead. Was updating apps. Put the phone in my pocket. Minutes later heard a steady buzzing sound. It was my phone. I tried to turn it off: no luck. It then went dead.

Just finished making a phone call. Noticed I needed to update apps. Started that. Put the phone in my pants pocket. Minutes later heard a steady buzzing sound. It was my iphone. I pressed the phone, the screen was black. I tried turning it off from the top: it would not turn off. It kept buzzing. The Iphone went dead. Any ideas?
thanks,
Jeonisha

I had a similar issue where my iPhone just died on me even though it had plenty of battery left. I was told to do a hard reset by holding the lock and home buttons down together for 15 seconds. When I did my phone came back on and worked normally.

My New Laptop made a buzzing sound?

- Hi ! I hope many of you are having a wonderful mourning . My small question is that when I just bought this laptop (HP Envy 17) the day after, I began listening to music. I do not know why it made a buzzing sound and that is something that has been happening to my older Laptop and I do not want such circumstances to happen to this new laptop . Please if anyone is willing to tell me what ways I can do to prevent this buzzing sound from occuring so often like it did in my old laptop .
I apprieciate your time in helping me . I hope you have a wonderful day today .

Hi ImKevin,
First of all, I'm sorry that you're having trouble with your laptop!
It would be really hard for me to pinpoint the exact cause of the buzzing sound so therefore, I suggest that you take
your laptop and visit a HP Service Center close to you. The engineers will be able to help you find the cause and provide
different solutions. You can contact HP using the link below and get the support that you need.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to provide you with a straight solution.

TS4036 i need to remove my ios7 for my iphone 5 to be repaired how do i do this?

my iphone hasbeen sent off to be repaired but they cant do this without me removing my ios7 from icloud how do i do this??

Hey lisamaria1000,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you need to remove the phone from Find my iPhone (Activation Lock). To do so, follow these steps:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps:
1. Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
2. Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
3. Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
4. When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device has been erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
Note: These directions may sound out of context for your situation, but don't worry, it's definitely what will fix the issue.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Need some help with guitar setup...

jeez, never thought i'd be asking a question like this after playing for like 20 years, but i need some help with a guitar setup for mac. i'm gonna list out a lot of crap here that prolly doesn't affect anything at all, but here goes.
Imac 17inch G4 - latest updated OS X... 10.4, or 5, or whatever. garageband 3.0
digitech gnx-3
alesis sr-16
sure mic's
yamaha e203 keyboard
here's the setup:
yamaha is on its own on a usb uno midi interface, sure's connected to gnx's xlr port, alesis connected to gnx's jam-a-long input, '87 kramer vanguard connected to gnx's guitar input. currently running headphones out on gnx to line in on mac.
here's the problem:
everything works beautifully, but my guitar sounds like crap. if i plug headphones into the gnx, it sounds beautiful. that makes me think its some kind of level issue between the gnx's output, and the mac's input, but nothing seems to fix it.
by sounding like crap, i mean way too much bass. sound is muddy, blurry, not crisp... aka crap. i've tried altering both output and input on mac and gnx, and i cant get a combination that works. the gnx has a s/pdif out, can the mac accept that as input? might that help? short of running the gnx to my marshal half stack and mic'ing that, anyone have any suggestions, or use a similar setup?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

anyone? ... any suggestions? I think it might be an issue with the gnx pre-amping the signal as it goes out, and then the mac amping it on the way in, giving me a buttload more signal than i need, but since i cant find a happy level, i'm not really sure. i really dont want to resort to mic'ing my marshall... even with the volume almost off, my jcm900 is WAY too loud for apartment use. its not like i really NEED the guitar to sound perfect, i only use garageband to sketch out ideas for songs between myself and bandmates, but its really annoying to not have my customary crisp distortion. my bass player keeps telling me to use the built in amps, but, not to dis a practically free program, but the built in amps blow, at least after 10 years of marshall tube amplification they do. if anyone has any suggestions that might be helpfull on how i might resolve this, i would be your best friend for life and go to all your birthday parties

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.

No audio on render, only buzzing sound.

I managed to fix this problem before, possibly with the right codec download. but its back. It may be one of my codecs was a trial and stopped working, but i tried dling different codecs and no luck so far.
Here is what my cs5.5 does:
Queuing export never works, it queues but never starts, even when I start the queue.
Regular exporting sits and thinks for almost ten minutes encoding, then says
Premeire pro debug event
Premeire pro has encountered an error
.. \.. \Src\WinFile.cpp-785
then instantly starts rendering after I close this window, and exports video ok, but sound is just a buzzing sound.

>codec download
What codec, and from where?
If you installed something like the K-Lite codec pack, you may need to reformat your hard drive and install everything fresh... at least according to several messages I have read

HOW CAN I GET LINE IN ON SOUD IN SYSTEM PREFERENCE I NEED TO CONNECT MY GUITAR.

HOW CAN I GET LINE IN ON SOUD IN SYSTEM PREFERENCE I NEED TO CONNECT MY GUITAR.

Please do Not type in ALL CAPITALS. It is considered shouting in online communications. Now, in System Preferences, click on "Sound", and in that window click on the "Input" tab shown below. Then in the list below that click on "Line In." That will activate the Audio Line-In Port.
