Satellite U400 - loud noise coming from cooling modules

Hi,
have bought few month's ago Toshiba Satellite U400 and everything was perfect and i just bought it because i do not like sounds.
When i surf on the net i like it to be quite, but these last 5 days it has started to sound.
Toshiba U400 works and it takes out to much "Air" from the side and just sound all the time, even if i open IE or MSN or anything, and before it just did sometime but now it does often.
Please help me because this is very annoying and it sounds to much, and i do not like it, why has this start to happend now and not before? and what can i do about it?
thnx.

Hi
This is worth checking. I had a similar problem myself and I noticed that on my wife's profile the fan's behaved but on my profile the fans went crazy.
I did some digging and noticed through Task Manager that a particular process was using an aweful lot of CPU. I did some more digging on the process and discovered it was the Bluetooth driver. I checked in the system tray and sure enough Bluetooth was active. So I logged onto my wife's profile and on her's, Bluetooth was disabled.
So I went back into my profile, disbaled the bluetooth, right click on the Bluetooth icon in the system tray and select disable. All nice and quiet again.
It's worth a try.

I have a macbook pro 15 retina - when ever I connect to bluetooth speaker, I get this loud noise coming from the speaker - if I turn bluetooth off, the noise is now coming from the macbook speakers

I have a macbook pro 15 retina - when ever I connect to bluetooth speaker, I get this loud noise coming from the speaker - if I turn bluetooth off, the noise is now coming from the macbook speakers & stays until i restart.

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks

IMAC freezing, hang during startup, loud noise coming out from the speaker

I am using the iMAC i3 Intel based which i bought it just a month ago
Last week it hang, freeze just like that without me launch any application just yet
I hold the ON button for a restart, and it freeze during the startup
One more thing, sometimes when it freeze, there's a noise coming out from the speaker ( just like there is no signal from the TV )
Already sent it to the Apple Service Center but they tell me it is free from any error, but by the time i bring it back home, not even 12 hours, it freeze again just like that with loud noises coming out from the speaker.
Btw did i mention, sometimes there's also a screen distortion
Please somebody help me

I've experienced similar symptoms to the original poster's description. I have an iMac 27" 2010 model. This may be related to the following:
I've looked on numerous forums regarding the freezing problem I was having. This problem would arise on a wide range of systems.
Symptoms included but were not all always present - usually when I am loading the system with games/heavy load processes:
- Full system freeze, screen still on.
- Loud cracking noise coming from speakers (relative to what volume was at when the freeze happened).
- Computer asleep but I cannot wake up unless hard reset with power button.
- My screen backlight was also damaged (permanently dimmed) near the left side, and progressively got worse over time. This was fixed (replaced LCD 27" display $600+ and covered by my creditcard extended warranty)
Basically, what I've come to realize which has not been well documented as far as I could find relating to this problem - is that the system is overheating and causing these freezing errors (and LCD damage in my case). Prologned occurances could result in different system part failures.
How do you fix the overheating problem? Give this a try, it's worked so far for me and I've actually been able to continue video/photo editing without having this annoying freeze.
Search for and download 'iStat Pro' (widget addon that lets you monitor your system temperatures... compare it before and after the fix)
Search for and download 'SMCFanControl (a great little app that allows you to change your system fan speeds) - I did not know this was possible, and have never heard the fans go this high when it was being run automatically by the system. The fan's are obviously louder when set to max, but is well worth the system cooling results.

When I turned on my computer this morning it had a new noise coming from the top of the screen at the back. Not loud but almost whirring. What might this be ?

I just found an answer !
I had moved my computer into another room and had to turn up the brightness, as I have always had it on the lowest setting. In doing so it created the noise, I turned it right down and it stopped. I have now set it about level 3 so it's not so distracting.
thanks

Some Kind of huge Noise coming from the Disc Drive while inserting and ejecting the disc.

Some Kind of huge Noise coming from the Disc Drive while inserting and ejecting the disc.
i have just purchased it before a couple of days a go.

I just installed a Mac Pro for a client. After a while I noticed this buzzing everyones talking about. It was especially bad after I installed two more internal drives. It seemed to come and go with HD activity. I pulled up the lever on the back of the machine when it was particularly loud and the buzzing went away. So like some others have noticed it's associated with the HD bays. I took the side off and adjusted the seating of the drives so they were exactly centered Now the buzzing is gone. I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe it will need some kind of silicone bumpers where the bay trays are metal to metal.
More research to come.

Whirring noise coming from HP Touchsmart 520

Hi there,
There is a whirring noise coming from the back of my PC. It gets slightly louder if performing a task, ie web browsing! Could you possibly let me know what the problem may be?
Many thanks

I have read your post on how there is an unusual noise coming from your computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Since the noise is coming from the back of the computer, I recommend following this document on Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating. This should help prevent the fan in the back from overworking.

Beeping noise coming from internal sound board

there is a strange beeping noise coming from internal sound board. it doesnt matter if the volume is all the way down it still happens. the noise happens most ten times an hour and it is just one loud beep. took it to geek squad and they couldnt explain. so why is it making this noise?

This beeping plagued me for months and months, driving me insane. I tried to find a solution on the Internet; however, all I found were many people complaining about this random beeping noise from their HP laptops. A couple of times the beeping stopped for a few days, but then it would come back. But almost three months ago it stopped for good (I hope)! I didn't do anything--it just stopped. WEIRD. But you might find this link helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svvZ70_H2wM&feature=email&email=comment_reply_received

Can you mitigate noise coming from a cRIO?

Hi, we are using an 9012 cRIO controller and a 9112 chassis with a 9477 module. We have encountered some noise coming from the cRIO and are wondering how to mitigate it. Any suggestions?? John JSC/NASA

Where are you seeing the noise? Are you reading a sensor?
There are many things that can cause noise: ground looping, not using shielded wires. Running signal wires next to AC. radio frequency noise the list goes on forever.

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open. I have read that it may have to do with my fan or HD. I am under apple care for a good amount of time but am wondering if this is a mjor issue. I would not be able to get to an apple care center in the near future due to being at school. Should I be worried or will it last by the time I am home in 2 months.

Sounds like the disk in your MBP is accessing data on wake up
If you are still concerned you can take it into the Apple Store where they can hear it to be sure

Scratchy noise coming from top end of keyboard. Not effecting performance but very noisy and worrying! What is it? Is my computer seriously damaged? Is it easily fixed? Thanks for any help

Scratchy noise coming from top end of keyboard. Not effecting performance but very noisy and worrying! What is it? Is my computer seriously damaged? Is it easily fixed? Thanks for any help

It would be helpful if you were to identify the model of MBP you have.
The noise makers on a MBP are the fan(s), the HDD and the optical drive. Can you locate the exact position where the noise is coming from?

I have a strange noise coming from within my 2011 iMac Desktop.

I have a strange noise coming from within my 2011 iMac Desktop. This started 1 week ago and is intermittent. It sounds like an electronic drill. I have removed all external connections and powered up the Mac and just left it running. Some 2 hours later the noise started. On hitting the space bar on the keyboard the noise stopped. I did a similar test and the noise started within 2 minutes so I have discounted any overheating issues.
With keyboard activity there is an increase in the frequency of this fault.
If you open safari when the fault reappears the URL web link text starts flashing at the same frequency as the noise. This fault can appear with or without the noise.
I’ve been typing these details out on Word and as soon as I went to save the document the noise started and as soon as I hit the OK option in the save window the noise ceased.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I think this issue might be related to my wireless Keyboard. have just noticed that certain combinations of keys do not work. The Right hand shift + ? didn't work but started this noise. Hit another key and the noise stopped Also I have problems using the right hand shift key with the letters Y, H & N , they don't work and are all in line.
So I'm taking the keyboard back to John Lewis. it will be easier to carry that the screen !!

Screeching noise coming from headphones!!!

Ok, so there's a horrible screeching noise coming from my headphones! When the volume is low, no sound comes out at all. But when I turn it up, it's this high pitched screeching with faint music in the back ground. I've tried changing the EQ, changing the maximum volume level in settings, and turning off then back on. I also just updated the software today. Help!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks:)

Does this happen when using another set of headphones? Have you tried a hard reset?
How to reset iPod
If nothing else, do a full restore in iTunes. This process wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and loads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. So if the issue is software related, a restore should clear it up.

Noise coming from the bottom of my mac?

There's a noise coming from the base of my early 2013 Mac Book Pro Retina. When I'm resting it on my lap or pick it up it sounds like a spring sound and occasionally I can here it when I'm typing and push down a little hard on the t, y and u keys. Do you think it would be possible to take this in to an Apple store and get it replaced or changed? Not effecting performance but expect better for paying upwards of £2000. Still within the 1 year warranty. Thanks.

Aside from the fan, there should be no noises emanating from a retina MBP. Your MBP comes with a warranty. By all means take advantage of it and make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.
