Quiet, high pitched squeaking sound when powering off 60D?

I just got a 60D body yesterday, and I just noticed a high pitched, very quiet noise that happens for a second or two when powering the 60D off. My Rebel t3 does not make this noise so I was wondering if it's normal?

That's the noise of the piezoelectric cleaning system. It vibrates the low pass filter (located just in front of the sensor) to shake dust loose.
In some cameras it sounds like a couple of squeaks. My 60Da makes the same noise. No reason for concern. Some cameras start out not squeaking when new and end up making the squeak later.
The good news is I have never heard of it actually being a problem.
No, the good news is that the OP is still young enough to be able to hear a squealing sound at such a high frequency!

Equium M50 high-pitched squeaking sound

I keep getting a repeating squeaking sound when my laptop is on, sounds almost as if the fan needs oiling or something! (I know it isn't that) It's not affecting the performance of it but does get quite irritating. Anyone else had the same?

It's pretty much all the time really, although when the computer is just idle it doesn't make any noise at all. So basically, whenever I do anything, it's as if the processor or motherboard or fan or something inside it is making a squeak. It's kind of a high-pitched noise that sounds like air being pushed through something. There's nothing in the vent that's for sure, it's only a week old!
I will contact the Toshiba service and ask for the help. My notebook is covered by warranty.
Cheers

High pitch ringing sound when i plug my headphones in.

Hi
I am currently using a Macbook Pro 15" retina display
There has been no problems previously. Out of no where, today my headphones has this high pitched ringing sound whenever i plug it in.
The audio is fine when I do not use any headphones. but when i plug them in, there is a ringing sound. This is happens as well when i plug in other headphones I have.
I have tried going to Sound under System Preferences and adjusting the stuff there but nothing seems to work.
This ringing sound makes listening to anything unbearable.
Please help

There is a micro switch inside the socket to switch between the optical output (digtal), headphones and internal speakers. It sometimes gets stuck.
Push the headphone plug into the socket numereous times and see if it frees the switch. Please do not push other foreigh objects into the socket as you may break the switch and/or the electrical contacts.

Nano won't respond makes high pitched humming sound when hooked to cable

I'm beginnign to feel jinked. lol This is the second Nano I've had since October. The first was returned because of a defective battery and promptly replaced. Now to the current issue.
This Nano has acted erratic from day one. The hold button malfunctioned immediately, but functioned sporadically. It would not "hold" the Ipod when I turned it on and the hold icon wouldn't appear when this happened. Then it appeared to never actually turn off when I tried to turn it off, although it would have a blank screen. Instead it appears to go into pause. This is proven out by the fact that the battery power goes down quickly from use to use. Then it just faded out and died as if the battery was drained. BUT, the computer (all three of them) wouldn't recognize the Nano when hooked up to the charging cable it came with. Now it is emmitting a high pitched humming noise, has a blank screen and the computer still won't recongnize it.
I sent this Nano back already for repairs. It was returned to me UNREPAIRED with a note saying no problems were found. There is ABSOLUTELY something wrong with it but unfortunately for me it decided to come on right before I shipped it to Apple. I assume that is why it appeared to be functioning.
I have yet another repair request in for it but my confidence level about it's eventual repair or replacement is sinking. The most frustrating part of this is I LOVE this product. It was a greatly appreciated addition to my workout routine and other music needs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to say I tried the 5 r's, called tech support, have been ALL over this forum, and have even asked other nano users I know for tips.

High pitched squeak/chirp sound in mp3's

Whether it's a downloaded mp3 or burned from a CD, I'm now getting a high pitched squeak/chirp sound when I play my mp3's. It's happening in my iPod, also. I'm pretty new at this, and I'd really appreciate your help. (I do have error correction on for importing CD's). Thanks!

Nobody at all can help?

When I access Wealth Engine X My computer makes a high pitch whining sound. Why ?

When I log in to this website My computer makes a high pitch whining sound.
I also have this problem when surfing on Auto Surf Pro; and recently, while the auto surf was running, My computer shut off its
power, and I had to run the repair diagnostic to get it to start again.
I also have this problem with Empower Network with regard to the videos on there; and some of the videos "get" an "unable to load plugin" message when I try to open them.

Sounds like the drive although I suppose it could be fans if something is wrong with them. when my fans go into high performance mode they do not make this kind of noise. Are you also noticing more vibration when this occurs to the left of the trackpad where the hard drive is? About the only thing you can do is take it into the Apple store and have them look at it.

High-Pitched Electronic sound

I'm a long-time Windows guy & I just received my replacement 17"MBP as the first one had a loose screen. I notice a high-pitched buzzing sound emanating from the upper left side of the laptop only when the power supply is plugged in. It is not very loud but the high-pitched frequency really stands out when the room is quiet. Is this normal? If I click the trackpad button, the sound goes away. I've researched this board but could not find the same situation. Tech Support says the MBP's are louder than prevous models and suggested I take it to an Apple Store (3 hoours away). Any thoughts?
Thanks!

If you were to send the computer to Apple, they would do absolutely nothing to fix it. I've spoken to a product specialist on many occasions now, and they flat out refuse to acknowledge the fact that it is buggy.
I have even given the specialist many ways to eliminate the whine via software fixes (IE: Photobooth, Mirror Widget, Comic Life, Ect) and they still maintain it is 'within spec'.
What is disconcerting to me, is that if the issue is glaring people in the face (MacBook Plastic on the vents) they will openly admit to it, but if it is something they can spin as being 'spec', they will ignore it.

High Pitched Microphone sound

My laptop - ASUS K501L - produces a high pitched whistling sound, as well as other background static noises, when I use Skype. However, the problem is not present on other platforms, such as Google Hangouts and Line. I have tried manually adjusting the mic volume, but this does not fix the issue, and moreover it does not seem to change the volume of sound the receiving party hears. Plugging in earphones to eliminate audio feedback also does not work, but muting my mic stops the static the other end hears.
Thus, I have determined it is a problem with Skype, but I can't find any way to fix this. Help?
Thanks!

Hey, great suggestion Burn. It prompted me to look at iChat preferences, since that was the only application that I've had open which might engage the internal microphone.
Within iChat Preferences, I clicked on the 'Video' icon, and for the 'Microphone' setting I saw that 'None selected' (or something like that - that option has gone now?) was in place. So I changed the setting to Internal Microphone. The whistle or screech was still there. Then I changed the setting to 'Line In'. No more screech!!
A good result, but is this the way it's supposed to be? Does having the setting as 'Line In' mean that I have to plug headphones in whenever I want to use iChat for internet telephony? Unless I manually change to Internal Microphone, but then I suffer screeching again?
Cheers, Steven

2011 MBP 17" 2.3 GHz - High pitch hissing sound from left speaker

When I transfer large amounts of data (wifi and ethernet) I get a high pitch hissing sound from the left speaker. When the transfer is done, the hissing stops.
Is anyone else experiencing this and is there anything I can do to stop it?
When it occurred: I was transferring data from my old MBP to my new 2011 MBP first via WiFi, then by Ethernet (much faster . My old (2007) MBP had not hissing what so ever, by my new MBP was rather loud. I'm very happy it's only when using the network.

I get this sound every time I download, WiFi or Ethernet it dosen't matter the sound is the same. I can't guarantee that it's from the speaker, I have an old Netgear switch that sounds the same when I use it (just to clarify: I'm not using that switch anymore or ever have with this MBP)
So it could be some electrical sound (I'm not a hardware engineer) just a guess.

Keypad & trackball remain illuminated when powered-off

I've had the pearl for 18 months with no problems. Suddenly the keypad & trackball will remain illuminated all the time, even when powered-off. This rapidly drains the battery. I've performed a hard and multiple soft resets and removed and cleaned the trackball-- no luck. Everything works fine. I appreciate any suggestions?

TS3474 The sound goes from high to no sound when listening to the Ipod?

The sound goes from high to no sound when listening to the Ipod?

If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self. I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

Satellite L850-1R4 - Freezing with high pitched buzzing sound

Greetings.
I obtained this computer from my school, it was packed and not opened as far as I know(to my knowledge they didn't open 'em at least.) Around 5-6 times every day (Span of 6 hours at least) my computer freezes, with a very high pitched buzzing sound that sounds like a bloody drill.
I updated my drivers and everything, but this still occurs and I have to power restart the computer to be able to continue working/playing/watching anything.
How can I solve this?
Thank you and best regards.

> Furthermore If I take it to factory settings (which I tried some months back) It gives me further crashes, freezes and blue screens.
Sorry mate but for me it sounds like an hardware problem. BSOD can be caused due serious software issue (compatibility between driver and hardware) or hardware malfunction but setting the unit back to factory setting should not cause an software issues. Therefore I presume an hardware part is the troublemaker.
The common parts like HDD or RAM modules should be checked firstly following by motherboard, CPU, etc

High Pitched Whining Sound from Macbook

We bought the new 13" Aluminum Macbook today. In getting it set up there have been some periodic times where it started making a very high pitched whining sound that I could hear but my wife could not.
The ability to hear these high end sounds go away as you get older.
Just wondering if this will need to be repaired / returned ? What do we do. I can't stand it!!

Phil is right of course. You should send/take it back and get a new one.
Is the whine coming from the hard drive?
With the easy to replace hard drive in the new MacBook you can easily swap out the hard drive in your current unit with the new unit. That saves you reinstalling programs and transferring data. However with a whine I would be leery about keeping the same hard drive.

High Pitched Chirping sound from within Mac Pro Case

Mac Pro Late 2008. Emits high pitched chirping sound for about one minute and then stops. Periodically comes back, then goes away.
Is this a warning of some kind? It's coming from within the case. It's not mechanical, it sounds like an alert. But nothing stops working and nothing has stopped working but it comes, it goes and then comes again.
Any ideas?

You say it's not mechanical, but it does sound like it could be a fan or drive bearing. Especially if you are in a warm environment.
Do you have external speakers connected or are you using your internal speaker?

When powering off my iPod touch, any application (facebook, viber etc)installed using App Store won't work again

When powering off my iPod touch, any application (facebook, viber etc)installed using App Store won't work again
How to solve this issue?

Try a hard reset first. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If still no luck, try downloading and installing a new app from the App Store. Doing so has cleared the issue up for several users.
