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.

SCREECHING NOISE COMING FROM SPEAKERS

Hi... I have the HP Pavilion p6-2327c PC I just purchased the Logitech s120 speakers. I can't get the sound to come out right. Something is coming out of the speakers but it is a screeching noise like when you put the microphone to close to the amplifier. It echo's and makes hight pitched noises when trying to play a video on You Tube and when the video is off then nothing... Pleas help.. Also I pluged in the front and the back

Here is a picture of the back I / O ports:

You should have the speakers connected to #12 (Audio: Line Out port). Then, go into the Control Panel / Sound and check all of the settings. Make changes to see if it makes any difference. Be certain to remember what the settings were originally.
I had a similar problem with my Polk Audio speakers. I got the same sort of sound when they were set to digital output.

Strange noise coming from headphone port on Macbook Pro

Hi all
I have recently bought a brand new Macbook Pro 2.4gh Intel Core 2 Duo, and was browsing through my iTunes looking for something to play... I had plugged into the headphone jack my pair of BOSE around-ear headphones and could hear a strange noise that sounded like electrical interference. I can only hear it when nothing is playing through the headphones, like the situation I mentioned above. And i know it is a problem exclusive to my MBP as it does not happen on my iMac, iPhone, iPod ect.... any ideas what may be causing it, of how to get it to stop....?
Thanks

Hello
I have the same problem. I can't use my Sennheiser / V-Moda inear headphones because of that noise. I changed the MacBook, but the noise is still the same. I spent one hour talking to one guy from AppleCare and we came to the conclusion that headphones with low impedance (16 Ohm for the headphones mentioned above) are not working properly with the new MacBook Pro.
What do you think ? Is this possible ?
The solution for me was to buy a Logitech speaker system with external audio jack... and it works fine now (speaker and headphones)!
I'm a new Mac user and I'm quite disappointed about this audio issue. I really didn't expect Apple to have troubles with a headphone jack...
Thanks for your feedback.

Strange noise coming from headphones in 10.5

When I listen to ANY audio through headphones on my MBP I get a strange "digital" sounding noise almost like it sounds like a bass drum is pounding underwater very faintly. This is a background noise but is very obnoxious when I listen to music 6-8 hours a day.
NOTES: On my MBP, it did not do this in 10.4 before I upgraded. I upgraded to Leopard on launch day and its been doing this ever since.
I work at an Apple Repair Center and we can't figure out the cause of this. On all the MBPs we test with the same hardware as me, each one produces this sound. On an iMac running the same version of OS X there is no issue. If I downgrade the mac to Tiger there is no issue.
Is Apple aware of this issue and what might be causing it?

Hi ClemTiger0408
There are many threads in Apple Discussions describing this problem, some people have said that resetting the PRAM or SMC has helped.

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

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 !!

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
Stephen

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.

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

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.

Weird noises coming from MBA

I just went to copy something hitting "command" and "c" and there was some weird screeching sound coming from my MBA. A few seconds after that, there were a few "bloop" sounds coming from it and then it stopped. Anyone else encounter this? It may be worth noting that when the screeching sounds occurred, there was a loading icon on the arrow pointer.

My MBA's hard drive (not solid) makes a fast clicking sound; occurs maybe every few hours. It doesn't happen when you'd expect, it's not during at the startup of a program or opening a large document. Just happens randomly.
Is this normal?

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

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

What is the fluttering noise coming from my desktop?

what is the fluttering noise coming from my desktop?

Probably a fan. Could be hard drive noise, a CD or DVD that has a label on it.
Can you describe the sound more fully, what it sounds like, when and how often it occurs?
