Noise when scrolling!

Trackpad, mouse, tablet, don't matter. Quiet but annoying buzzing sound, but not every time, when scrolling pages in safari or firefox.
Brand new Macbook Pro 2.5
Any thoughts, suggestions?

A sound you only hear as you scroll, moreso on graphically intense pages? Doesn't matter what the volume on your computer is set to? If yes, then it sounds like it could be capacitor whine. Not really sure how to fix that, as it's a physical issue with a capacitor on your logic board. My old laptop had/still has that problem, but that company (not Apple) wouldn't cover it under warranty.

Clicking noise when scrolling with 2 fingers on new MBP?

Hi Everyone,
Just got a Penryn 2.6 MBP 17in, love the machine, it is pretty much perfect.
I have just noticed that sometimes on graphically intensive web pages if I scroll using two fingers there is a very slight clicking noise coming from under the G and H keys. It kind of also seems to come and go, it is not an always thing. Is this normal?
It also seems to do it more when on magsafe power rather than on battery... I am thinking this is just the graphics card making noise, but I was curious if others have experienced this?
Thanks!

yeah for me its around the delete button though. How come nobody is answering these clicking questions?

Subtle noise when scrolling, moving mouse, other screen activity

Let me say up front: this is *not* about fan noise. I know what fan noise is; I hear it like everyone else; this is something else.
The noise I am posting about is hard to describe, but it comes fairly close to classic hard drive noise but it can't be that in this case because my X220 has an SSD.
The noise occurs when I scroll in a window, or move the mouse across the screen. It is definitely associated with screen activity.
I would love to know what it is. I have it on another laptop as well (ThinkPad T61P).

I also noticed this noise and am curious as to what the sounds actually is. I can't imagine the CPU gets scaled each time the mouse moves a tenth of a milimeter.

Macpro 1.1 clicking noise while scrolling?

Hi there I have used mac pro 1.1 and while I am on the internet I hear a clicking noise when scrolling with my mouse wheel, I also here it when safri loads a page and upon start up.It also happepens when I close a program or app. Any help on this would be great.

In that case it could either be the fan, or your hard drive dieing. Mechanical failures in spinning disks will also sound like clicks and pops. Does this happen constistently? Or only now and again?
Either way it sounds like a backup is in order and a visit to an Apple store. They'll either replace the drive or the fan if either are the culprit.
You could also (at your own risk) download SMCFanControl and adjust the front fan's speed up and down to see if that makes the click go away or increase.
Thanks;

Strange noise from my Computer when scrolling after installing Flash player

Ok so I've ran into a very strange problem, I hear some very wierd sounds when scrollnig up and down in the explorer browser. This sounds comes from my computer not from the sound on the sound system. Seems like it comes from the motherboard or the graphic card. Now this also happense when I'm scrolling up and down in a program called "Steam" It's used for playing games in. At the moment I'm using Google chrome as webb browser, I got no wierd sounds when scrolling in this browser.
It's kinda scary please help.

Could you check to see if you have the following Windows update installed?
KB2670838 – Platform Update for Windows 7 x64
If so, please try updating your graphics drivers. If the problems continue, please uninstall the KB update.
Thanks,
Chris

Is there any way to disable electric whining on the 2011 Macbooks Pro, when scrolling in Firefox and opening new tabs?

This happens only in Firefox w/o addons; under Mac OS X 10.6.7

To specify the issue: A high-frequency noise can be heard coming from the left upper side of the Macbook (from beneath the 1 key). It can only be heard when scrolling and opening new tabs in firefox and is not influenced by the volume level and muting.

Noise when turning on

Just received macbook pro in mail yesterday..everytime i turn it on it makes a whirring noise that doesn't sound right. It sounds as tho the computer is straining everytime it turns on. Is there supposed to be a noise? and if not is there anything i can do about it?

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions...
No, there should not be any noise when you startup the MBookPro.
Go here for help at the Apple New Zealand site: http://store.apple.com/nz
You should be able to get free phone support. Scroll down to where you see:

Strange noises when ipod touch power plugged and headphones cable connected

Hi everybody,
this is my first post. It has been annoying me for a long time now.
The thin is, when I plug in the ipod via charger or USB cable and I want top listen to music while it charges i get this crackling noise and a high pitch one as background atmosphere which is ok if you listen to loud music but very annoying if you listen to calm music.
I want to connect it to my stereo and i found out that when I disconnect the power cable its allright. When I put the audio cable on the metal sufrace I just get the crackling noise without the pitch and when its plugged into usb and connected to my ipod I can modify the noise when i scroll on the touchpad. Its like scraching on vinyls but not cool.
I don't know what to do. I mean sometimes you want to listen to music AND charge your ipod right?
Has this happend to anyone?
Best regards

Well thanks for pointing me to that feature, I didn't notice it before, but nobody there really has the same problem.
They are complaining about not being able to charge and listen at the same time. This is histroy since iOS5.
I shure can listen to my music. And for example via bluetooth its no problem being connected and listen to music, even while I sychronize. But if I plug in the audio jack, and have the ipod charging I get this noises.
I hope the problem is now more precisely described.

Charger makes noise when using the touchpad

When I scroll (up-down-left-right) (2 or more fingers only) through the touchpad on my MacBook Air, while plugged-in to the charger, the charger makes a "scrolling" sound. It's so weird, not annoying, but weird.
Anyone had the same same thing?

it's like a chirping noise when scrubbing eg. youtube videos. could it be the video card problem? because of the multiple monitors?

My macbook air is making a weird squealing noise when charging.

Hi, recently i have noticed that my macbook air has started to make a weird squealing noise when charging. This noise is feint, though it's clearly audible, and is quite annoying when i am using my mac for things like word processing and internet browsing. It only makes this noise when the charger is plugged in, and not when it is running off battery power. Whats also worth noting is that whenever i scroll up or down a page in safari, or chome, the noise changes slightly. Again this only happens when the mba is plugged in.

hi, right now i am using my macbook air off the battery, and everything seems to be running ok. unfortunantly this is my first mac, so i dont have any other chargers lying around that i could test it with. However i shall definately see about taking it to the genius bar. its a bit of a pain, seeing as it's only been ten days since i purchased the **** thing.

MBP Retina sound when scrolling???

Hey guys,
Just wondering is it ok? when scrolling in safari up and down you can hear a low noise of digital sound tzz tzz tzz only when scrolling!
you must put your head to the keyboard to hear it =)))
OSX Lion 10.7.4
thanks

Yeah, I have the similar problem, especially when I connect my computer with the charger. I can tell obviously there's some sound by the power button area. But I could not hear that when it's not charging.
I just bought the computer 2 days ago. I'm not sure they gonna fix this after next system upgrade.
Tryptomine, do you still have that problem? Have you got any chance to go to AppleStore to talk with them about this issue?

Flash content distorts when scrolling and switching tabs.. since FF 13.0.1..

Before describing the issue
Please note from the System Details pane to this post that I have the latest flash, etc.
And Windows updates,are up to date.
==================================================
Issue: Scrolling distorts flash player window (Youtube, hulu, etc.)
Since: FF 13.0.1 update in June. (I posted on the issue under "badly scrambled images".)
Problem is still there with FF 14.0.1
This distortion happens:
# even with just starting the browser (so no bloated cache)
# even with just only one or two tabs open.
And since last week's update to FF 14.01, I have also detected:
Switching to the the tab with flash content will "imprint" the image from the my previous tab on to the flash player. I have to scroll or refresh to get the flash player to show its content.
FYI, none of these flash player problems occur with IE9.
The advise from a regular contributor was to turn off hardware acceleration, but these did not solve this issue.:(
Solutions suggesting disabling all the plugins etc. have not solved the problem either.
So if you can tell me some other way to solve this, I will appreciate it.
Thanks.

Sorry, it took me a while to give feedback for the suggestions you have given here.
(Please refer to sidebar on the original post for system details.)
I have reset the profile and updated the Nvidia driver. The version of FF is 14.0.1. But it still scrambles the pictures.
On top of scrambling the flash content when scrolling, it has additional problems:
As you can see from the attached image, another tab's content is showing on the youtube flash player. This happens when I have paused the video even for a short time.
I have a suspicion that the combination of Flash and Firefox does some weird things to graphic processing and memory.
(I realize that IE implements Flash differently, but they seem to have this right.)
I might just have to say goodbye to Firefox for a while.
Thanks.

Firefox 37 Beta on Windows 8.1 has lag and stuttering when scrolling

I just recently got a new laptop, and since the minute I've installed firefox on it there has been lag when scrolling webpages. It seems to start off not too badly, with there being some stuttering when I first open firefox, however it seems like the longer I'm browsing the worse it gets, to the point where sometimes I'll start scrolling and then a second later firefox will just jump to the bottom of the page. Internet Explorer and Chrome both have perfectly smooth scrolling.
I've tried numerous things to fix it already, this is some of the stuff I can remember trying:
-Turning off hardware acceleration and smooth scrolling
-Starting in safe mode
-Complete reinstall with new profile
-Updating graphics card and intel drivers
Specs of the new laptop:
Core i7
GTX 970M
16Gb RAM

When I was trying different versions of Firefox to see if they all had the scrolling problem, I made sure to try 36, 38, and even 31.5 ESL portable. They all have the scrolling problem when my laptop is unplugged. However, when I tried Tor just to see what would happen - bingo! Perfectly smooth scrolling once more. This is especially weird as Tor uses 31.5.3 ESL as a base...
This made me think that it could potentially be a plugin, as Tor doesn't have any plugins installed other than Flash. However, after first disabling, then manually removing, every plugin that was listed in about:plugins the problem continues to persist.
Any idea why Tor would work flawlessly while every other version of firefox suffers the scrolling issue? I couldn't seem to remove the OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, plugin. Is it possible to remove it in order to see if it is causing the problem?

Issue when scrolling a pdf - There was a problem reading this document (135)

This is when the PDF is created and rendered/previewed from Acrobat Reader and the issue is there for latest acrobat version too.
When you open the PDF in Acrobat Reader and then when you scroll it and if you have more that one page in the PDF, it gives an error saying "There was a problem reading this document (135)".
Is this a known issue in Acobat? Any resolution? Reinstalling acrobat version didn't help.
Thank you in advance...!

It's hard to tell for me as they are files such bank statement or other document from websites...how can i know?

Hi Manulak_Tech,
As you are able to view PDF I had provided, the issue seems to be PDF specific.
So when you scroll the PDF and reach to a page where Adobe Reader cannot read it, the error comes. I am sure the problem lies the way PDF was created. Can you describe how the PDF was created?

My iPod touch isn't recognised in iTunes. Nothing comes up in devices. There's no noise when the ipod is connected to my mac with a usb lead.

I have been trying to connect an ipod touch 3rd gen to my mac. It doesn't seem to be recognised in itunes. There's nothing under "devices" nor a noise when it's connected to the mac to indicate it's recognised. Any suggestions?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Of you have OSX 10.6 do not omit the Additional Information Paragraph.
