Problem with noise

As the topic sais I have a huge problem with noise with my new system.
I built an AMD64 3500+ with MSI K8N NEO2 mainboard. I used my old Chieftec dragon chassie but I am experiencing a noisy machine now.
I aint sure if it is the PSU (That was quiet on my old AMD XP 3000+) or the CPU Fan.
Could someone point out a good and almost silent PSU and CPU fan that works good with this board?
Thanks for all the help.

I am just a newbie to the board - and I do take a couple of silly chances, but if you want to rule one of them sound sources out.....
I would just un plug the CPU fan when the system first boots up (but not sure if the board would just power down if there was no CPU fan connected??
I know I have had a couple of problems with my new board, and changing a few things (including the PSU) I found that the standard CPU fan is pretty damn quiet. (IMO)
infact the noisiest thing in my system is the damn fan on the graphics card.
but if you want to try something quiet have a look at something like this:

Intel iMac 20' users - any problems with noise on your firewire interfaces?

Someone please tell me that they have a quiet intel iMac 20'/Firewire interface set up, I'm having problems with a lot of digital noise from my Saffire LE & badly am hoping it's 'fixable' or just a faulty unit but more so, praying it's not noise from the iMacs Power supply that will interfere with any firewire interface I get???
I've read many posts about G5's suffering from noisy psu's which was one factor in my choosing an intel iMac & I chose the Saffire on it's great reviews for sound quality, there's no way I can work with the noise I'm getting & I'm pretty much panicking that if it IS the iMac & firewire thats the problem I'll be screwed as i only have 6 pin firewire as a useable option (really don't want to use usb2)
Incidentally, the 'budget' set up I had previously (PC & soundblaster audigy) didnt suffer from any noise like this (at least not that was even audible with the mixer levels at conversational level!) which i guess rules out any blame of this on 'mains hum/interference'?
The noise is there with the saffire's monitor output knob at any setting & with no inputs connected, it;s even worse if i power the saffire with it's external psu instead of off buss power. I'm not using a firewire hub & I've tried switching firewire leads & removing the firewire hard drive i have in the other port in case this was affecting it.
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone with similar troubles or even better anyone thats NOT having this problem with a 20' intel iMac & firewire interface so at least i know there's light (& quiet!) at the end of the tunnel

funnily enough I'm going the other way, I have a rack of external modules/>sampler/fx etc & a crate of looms I've just unplugged as they've not been >turned on in so long!!!
I hear you there!
The noise is there without any inputs at all to the interface, its defiantely >digital though, its like a toned version of the sound of an old telephone >modem.
What I mean, is try disconnecting everything, drives and all. You might even disconnect the interface and crank up the iMacs volume to see if it is there. If it is, you can try the UPS and see if that takes care of it. Then add them in one at a time. All it takes is one cheap power brick in the mix to cause all kinds of trouble (if your using powered monitors, that brick too). Noisy components can actually send noise back into the source power.
I know it can be really frustrating, especially if you have noise coming from more that one source. The key is to strip everything until it is quiet and then add them back in to see where the worst is. Then come up with a plan to try to get rid of the noise.

Help needed with HTC One regarding mic problem with noise cancellation

I picked up an HTC One last week, and so far I am loving the phone. Great build quality, screen, sound - all as advertised.
However, there is one very annoying problem I am having. When I am talking to someone, I can gear them great, but they keep telling me I sound muffled or robotic. I performed some tests, and the problem appears to be something with the dual microphones and the HTC One's noise cancellation features.
Here are the tests I ran:
Typical phone call, with holding the phone as I normally do on the sides and to my ear. Call result, pretty muffled voice. I'd give the call quality a 5/10.
Help the phone as I typically do, but covered the mic hole on the back of the phone. This definatelyimproved call quality. Was louder and clearer, but not perfect. I'd rate it at 8/10.
Help the phone towards the bottom, using my hand to kind of cup the bottom directing the sound to the bottom mic. This was a further improvement in sound quality. Rating would be 9/10.
Help phone as normal, but covered the bottom mic hole. Very low volume and muffled sound. Rating a 4/10.
Talked directly into the bottom of the phone into the bottom mic. This gave perfect call quality and volume. Rating a 10/10!
Talked directly into the mic on the back of the phone. Horrible quality, couldn't hear hardly anything. Rating 0/10.
Speaker phone on, held the phone up and moved it around as I would normally use a speaker phone. Call quality was really nice. Id give it 9/10.
Speaker phone on, covered back mic hole and used speaker phone as in #7. Very bad quality, rating 1/10 for call quality.
Speaker phone on, covered bottom mic and help speaker phone in hand. Really good quality, even an improvement over test #7. Would give the call quality a 9.5/10.
Speaker phone on, placed face down on table. Volume a bit low, a little muffled. Call quality 6/10.
Speaker phone on, place face up on table. A bit worse than test #10, low volume and a bit muffled. Call quality is 5/10.
Based on these tests, I know this problem has nothing to do with the network CDMA connection. It is obvious that the noise cancellation features are a bit too aggressive, or I have some hardware problem with one or both mics.
I question wether its really a hardware mic problem, because on non-speaker phone calls, talking directly into the bottom mic gives great quality. And on Speaker phone, covering the bottom mic makes the speaker phone sound really good. That's why I think there's something going on with the "Sense Sound" noise cancellation.
Is anyone else seeing the same issues? I want to be able to hold the phone normal on a non speaker phone call and get good quality.
Looking for any tips and advice anyone can give. Is it worth exchanging for a new one, as I am still in my 14 day window.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Problem with noise/artefacts in AE6 Ray Traced mode.

I'm having a problem with some kind or weird artefacts appearing on parts of an imported Illustrator layer. Here's the import procedure I'm using:
In AE6 I switch to Ray Traced 3D mode, then I make a new comp, add a camera, import my Illustrator file, drag it into the comp. Then I right-click on the Illustrator file in the comp and and select "create shapes from vector layer" then make the layer 3D. I can extrude etc. but for the sake of this post, I didn't do that. I get the artefact regardless.
Here's a cropped portion of my Illustrator file showing the problem:

Here's another screen-cap showing the problem from a different angle:
http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/4757/lines2.jpg
The sample image is in full res and set to AE's "final quality" mode.
I've tried different setting for the render quality (the same image is set to 10), but it seem the higher the quality I set it to, the more obvious the artefacts become!
I've added no lighting or anything else to the scene, jut the camera and the AI file. I've also inspected the Illustrator file inside Illustrator and I cannot see anything at all that can be causing this problem. Is it perhaps an export setting problem in AI?
These lines only appear when I use the "create shapes from vector layer" option.

Thank you very much for your reply.
Could you please explain to me how to import the paths in the manner you describe? I'm not overly familiar with Illustrator, other than loading and saving artwork.
If it's any help, here is the Illustrator file as supplied to me: homepage.ntlworld.com/mike1962/cnet.ai
Thanks,

Problem with noise and call dropping

Ever since I got the new BT Internet infinity I've seem to be having problems with my telephone line.
At times I can hear feedback when I'm on the phone, at times I can hear myself talk back or I can hear a buzzing sound. Also now my phone doesn't seem to ring and if they do after one ring it will show the phone is connected when nobody has picked up the handset. It drops after one ring, The caller display doesn't work, I have two telephones one upstairs and downstairs having the same problem, the upstairs telephone the ring isn't consistent and both phones are out of sync
Not sure what is going on here and I'm sure that there isn't anything wrong at my side of things
I was told that an engineer needs to be booked and if there are any problems found inside the house I would be charged 99Pounds? For starters your own person came to install the equipment ever since then I've been having this issue.
Would like to know if this has happened to anyone and what they did ?
Kindest Regards

Problem with Noise, recording with Duet

I am having trouble with noise using my Duet. As soon as I activate Record in Logic, no matter what mic I am using, I get a great deal of general noise. I know there is RF interference with some of my guitar equipment in this room, and wonder if it could affect the Duet too. I have tried different mics, different mic locations, different cables and it is always the same. I have tried changing the polarity in Maestro to see if that helps. Nothing helps. There is just a general hum constantly in the background--even when nothing is attached to an input, as soon as I hit Record, the noise appears. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

A support tech at Apogee thinks maybe it is environmental, that I should move to another room. But seriously, I cannot find another place in my house to use this. Why should the house have to adapt to the equipment and not the other way around?
The only thing I can think of at this point is a ground loop hum possibly caused by secondary devices plugged into the Mac.
Do you have a power strip set up so you can run -all- powered devices plugged in to your computer off of a single outlet, including mixer, printer, amps, powered speakers -any- peripheral devices... etc?
Turn all other electronics in the room off, even go so far as to unplug them from their power outlets. When troubleshooting noise, go for a minimal working setup and then start adding secondary devices.
With noting plugged into the Duet, all volumes off, you should hear silence
Also, are you running this on the Macbook Pro or the Mac Pro and if so, is it the same with both machines.
If it's on the MacBook Pro, you might try a ground lift (3 to 2 prong adapter) on the power supply as a test.

Problem with "Noise dissolve" filter Motion 1.0.1/ psd transparency

Hello,
sorry for my english but i'm writing from france...
So, this is my problem. If you want, try the same thing and you will see something ugly :
this is an example (not real files that i'm working on) :
I import a photoshop file with two layers in Motion. Layer 1 is just a pink color. Layer 2 is a copy of small portion of Layer 1 ( so it's the same color : pink ). I make this copy with a progressive border/selection of 2px (soft edge of 2px).
In motion layer 1 is under layer 2. Of course layer 2 have a transparency, because it's just a copy of small portion of layer 1.
When you look at the image, you just see pink color ( in fact there's two layer of the same color ). This is before applying the "noise dissolve" filter.
I apply the "noise dissolve" filter on layer 2 to make this layer appear in 300 frames. At frame 0 layer 2 is hidden by effect, at frame 300 the effect reveal the layer 2 with animated pixels (this is the "noise dissolve" effect). Of course, once again you don't see layer 2 appear because it's the same color than layer 1.
BUT...
when layer 2 "appear", i can see a black (and ugly) border around the layer 2!
It seems that Motion make a soft border around a transparency object !
Maybe i don't understand something ? I try to change the settings of the alpha channel in the inspector when i'm selecting my imported image, but it doesn't change anything!
I try to make a progressive border/selection/soft edge of 0px ( it's like a hard edge i think ) on the layer 2 in photoshop. In Motion, it's better but i can see the black and ugly border again ( not so visible, but visible anyway).
Here is a capture of what i see with the effect applied (On left you have hard edge, on right soft edge.):
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/elzef/motion.jpg
I hope you understand what i mean...
Somebody know about this problem ?
Thank you

Hi Patrick,
thank you,
i set layer 2's alpha to pre-multiplied:
at the begining it's seems to be OK,
but at the middle of the effect the noise appears as white pixels, then disappear when come to the end.
At the end the soft border is not visible ( that's waht i want for the end) but the hard edge still visible - not so visible whan it was black, but still here.
I try to set layer2 alpha to "behind". It seems to work with the soft edge but don't work with the hard edge.
I will try again with the images of my real project and try to not use hard edge, maybe it's gonna work.
Thank you very much

Having a problem with noises and mouse jumping, tried to reinstall and computer will not allow me to select the correct install icon. Sends me to xcode install

my kids computer began acting up this spring...so I shut it down.
Would not stay turned off, various noises almost continually, jumping highlights, etc.
Decided to reinstall os x snow leopard. insert disc and icon appears. then 3 icons with x in a column.
automatically highlights middle icon and will not allow me to select one above. Says install xcode.
not what i want to do.
any help?

What model iMac do you have?
What version of Mac OS is it running? If you don't know, try to give approximations on when it was set up and whether it was ever updated so we can take our best guess.
How are you trying to boot from the install disc? Your description of 3 icons with x in a column' leads me to believe that you aren't booting from the install disc, but rather you are inserting the disc after booting from the OS that is installed on the hard drive. If that is what is happening you'll see something like this, although it will vary depending on the actual version of the Install Disc that you have and how you've chosen to view the files (icon, list, column, etc).
What happens if you restart the system with the Install Disc inserted, then quickly hold down the 'c' key so that the system attempts to boot from the Install Disc. Do you still experience the same issue?

My MacBook Pro 13 inch makes a clicking noise from the hard drive and can not start up in safe mode and normal. I then ran disk utility in recovery mode and disk utility shows no problems with the hard drive. What is the problem?

Please help me, I have a mid 2010 Mac book pro with a toshiba mk3266gsxf harddrive. It started making a clicking noise and then my computer crashed. I proceeded to boot in safe mode, but it doesn't work. When I ran disk utility in recovery mode, it showed no problem with my disk. Does any one know what the problem is?

Sounds like a mechanical problem with the drive and it ruined the sectors where the Macintosh HD partition (and OS X, and files and programs) reside, but not your Recovery HD partition.
If you held command option r while booting, that's Internet Recovery and it's loaded via the Internet, not via the Recovery HD partition on the boot drive, so that could mean the drive is dead mechanically or there is another issue.
In either case the drive will likely have to be replaced, it's a matter of what occured to where and the drive state if you can recover data or not. If you made recent backups then your fine.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

Im from argentina and i got a problem with my earphone of the iphone 4s when i make a call i earphone or speaker make and strange noise or like an interference during the call and when i finish the call still doing the same noise and i dont know why?

my eraphone of my iphone 4s white unlocked make strange noises during the call and still doing the noise like an interference or saturing the spekaer

This is a common problem with iPhone 4s (and IOS 5) There isn't ' anything you can do about it, so you're best bet is to go down to the store and get an exchange. If you have an older iPhone (3gs/4) roll back your update from IOS 5 to IOS 4.

Has anyone had a problem with no ear-speaker noise when making calls on iPhone 5? Usually work after first call

So I got my iPhone. Had problems with the screen and took it back for a stock replacement. The replacement I noticed about two weeks later that when I make calls, 80% of the calls wouldn't make a noise. I would then look at the screen and see its been answered and the seconds are counting away. I'd hang up and try again which would always work.
I've tried a restore. Twice in facts.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm running the up to date software but think it could be a hardware problem.

Thank you so much. You have solved my problem. I never thought to click the down arrow. In all the time I have been printing, on any program, the entire window opened up when I clicked on the print button. This one never did. I don't understand why Adobe support never told me about that when I called them.

Problem with clicking noise and using hdapm

I'm having a problem with my 2009 17" MacBook Pro, with Lion. I installed a new, larger hard drive, and ever since then a tinny clicking noise has been emanating from the laptop. I tried to install hdapm, and I am able to successfully download the .dmg file and mount the disk image. However, at this point, all I see is a .pkg file. I clicked to install the program, abd then added the command to Lingon to execute 'hdapm disk0 max' upon startup. However, Console said that it failed to execute this command. I tried entering it directly on Terminal, and still no luck. It should be compatible with my hard drive, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. From what I've gathered, there should be another file in the original disk image that I can move into my Applications folder; however, I could not find it anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to resolve this issue? Thanks!

This is not a disk failure problem, regardless of how there are disk failure modes that act like this. It is a hard disk firmware situation that conflicts with OS hd controllers. It is a problem that comes and goes, or gets less of a problem or more of a problem depending on OS upgrades. Although I have it happening with a Seagate drive, it is reported on Western Digital drives.
It is also not only exclusively a Mac hardware problem or software problem. There are comments on Dell's forums, and even a Seagate firmware upgrade (which I fear to do.) There are also solutions where people boot to Unix, do the fix there, then reboot to Mac and it disappears and stays disappeared.
==>> N.B. – In Lion and the last couple versions of SL, you need to place a 'sudo' in front of the 'hdapm disk0 max'. Then it will work...for a while...maybe.
I have modified versions of the airport plist in the past from 'always on' to 'when needed' and that helps until the OS changes something. Then the same 'fix' won't make the constant head parking stop.
Different combinations of programs will start it up. Sometimes just getting the head busy for a while, like playing songs on iTunes, will stop it and upon closing iTunes will continue to keep it off. (Playing songs with a lot of percussion will not disguise the problem since by the time you try that you will be sensitized to hear the sound even when it is -96dB from ambient.)
A new variation with Lion has been to get the click going a couple minutes !!!after!!! putting the system to sleep! In fact, this problem has never been so uncontrollable as with Lion.
...and that is why I am back searching the forums to see if anyone has an up-to-date solution.

Microfon problems s400 with noise reduction

Hello people,
have a problem with the microfon sound.
This recording is either noisy (without HD driver and with HD drivers without noise reduction) or it is distorted (with HD drivers and noise reduction).
Drivers I've tried from the Lenovo page and also from Realtek already.
here are a few tests
Noise: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1182020/test% 20HD% 20with% 20the%% 20treiber 20nachhallred.wma
distortion: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1182020/test% 20with% 20HD% 20treiber% 20with% 20rauschunterdr% C3% BCckung.wma
in the device manager for microphone stands for the version: 6.2.9200.16384 Microsoft.
Use Windows 8 Pro which I installed by myself.
Would be grateful for suggestions, I can not skype otherwise.
greeting

Dark areas have less bits to encode their values so a single bit of noise is a higher proportion of the total value.
For the basis of the default processing, to match the human eye’s response to dark and light, darker areas are brightened more than bright areas, using a non-linear gamma curve. This magnifies the noise in darker areas.
If you boost the brightness of dark areas using Shadows or Clarity, you are making that noise even more visible. Think of brightening as digitally increasing the ISO.
Adobe’s noise-reduction is calibrated to the original photo’s ISO setting, not how much you have digitally increased the ISO by brightening it, so if you have magnified the noise by extreme processing, you may be beyond what maxing out the NR sliders are calibrated to remove.
Exporting sharpening will sharpen any remaining noise.
Are you using the Mask slider in sharpen to keep from sharpening the noise grain in the Detail section? Use the Alt key while moving the mask slider to determine the optimal Mask level for a particular photo, where you can’t to have the edges indicated but not the wide areas of little detail.
It’s hard to guess what you’re seeing without seeing a screenshot.

Problem with hissing noise of earphone on nokia e5...

I have a new brand of E50 but It's a problem with quality of sound on the earphone speaker.During the calls I hear the hissing
noise.Is it problem of this model or my headset is defect?

Hey. Really sorry for late answer. i got same model (but i7 , r7 m265 )
For the fan noise ; check out gpu and cpu temperatures . clean the fan dust with power manager program. and update drivers.
for the battery , %1 wear is nothing . only affects 1-2 mins . battery has internal smbus battery fuel gauge and it automatically calibrates battery full charge capacity. but you can manual calibrate fcc with power manager. we are very lucky because on some hp ,samsung etc laptops , battery comes with %10 wearage (like my old laptop).
you post this message 6 months ago. if your battery wear is >%15 now , send battery to service. they will replace a new battery. if battery wear <%10 , your battery is normal
