Sony Bravia high pitched ringing

I just bought a brand new Sony Bravia 32' model KDL32EX500 yesterday and everything appeared to be in working order except for a very high pitched ringing sound that comes from the television. I figured this was normal as it is powered on, but it also continues to make this high pitched noise while in standby mode. I researched this a bit online and found this to not be normal at all. I was just wondering what I would be able to do about this or if there is a possible way to fix it. After unplugging the television from the outlet after every use, the noise goes away after several seconds, but I'd hate to have to do that all the time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I had this same problem while video chatting. I think it has to do with the sound being echoed through the speakers. For example, if I said hi, my friend can hear it, her mic picks it up, it comes back through my speakers my mic picks it up, goes back to her.. etc.
Simple solution, use head phones when talking. As soon as everyone in my chat plugged our ipod headphones into our computer the problem disappeared.
Hope this helps!

High pitch ringing when recording voiceover

I just started getting a ringing when recording voiceovers. Any idea why?

I am using a Blue Snowball mic. I am also using Sony MDR-7502 headphones. There is a constant high pitch ringing.
In the past I've done voiceovers in FCP with this mic and no headphones without any problems. Since I tried to use the headphones (I bought them today) I'm getting the what I guess is feedback. Even when I unplug the headphones and plug the speakers in, as in previous set up, I am continuing to get feedback. (if this is feedback). This didnt happen before.
Any ideas? I've tried monitor on and off. Turned off my external hard drive. Checked automatic level control. I cant figure this out. I am new to setting up an evironment for recording other than my previous set up so maybe its something basic. You mentioned doorbells and phones. Does that mean nothing metal near the computer such nail clippers or hard drive? Do I need a shockmount? Is that the problem?

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.

No firewire while high pitched ring is happening

I have a Dual 2.3GhZ G5 powermac tower. When it first starts up theres a very high pitched ring, almost not noticeable, the ring eventually goes away after warming up between 2-4 hours. While this ring is happening my 2 firewire ports will not work. If I open an application of the computer has to do "some work" the ring cuts in and out but then eventually comes back.
Now its happening no matter how long the computer warms up (even days).
The rest of the computer functions fine aside form no firewire devices showing up.
Any thoughts????

Hi uertzjl, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Tough to tell what the "ring" sound might actually be, but the symptoms sound like a problem with the Power Supply.

Pre has a high pitched ringing noise while on touchstone

Every time I set my Pre on the touchstone, the second it starts charging it has this high pitched ringing noise, like the kind older people lose the ability to hear. Is there any way I can get this to quit?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Same problem here. At first I thought it was the touchstone, but it seems like it is coming straight from the Pre. Turning down the volume on the speaker does nothing. Turning up the volume works though - when you are playing music! ;-)

High Pitched ringing from Zen Mi

I have had my Zen Micro for about two weeks and I have noticed that there is a high pitched noise that emanates from the Zen when I listen to the first 20 seconds of a song. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem without having to send in my player for repair. Thanks in advance.

I believe the ringing noise referred to is transient RF interference caused by the aft section of the player amplifier circuits as they amplify the converted audio signal before it heads out the headphone output. There may be a grounding issue to the circuitboard in the player, as running the backlight seems to temporarily cancel this noise out. I have never encountered a noise that starts when the audio file is started only to disappear 5 to 20 seconds later, only a noise that breaks in on the audio signal once the backlight goes out.
Transient noise may be a symptom of HDD operation on HDD-based players. I have never encountered noise issues with solid-state players such as the RIO or the Sony key-series. Sadly, if this so there can be no cure. Some persons may not notice such high-pitched noise and some persons may find they are quite sensiti've to it. That's how it goes.
I have found that Creative's earphones seem to filter out most of the noise due to a frequency range that is just not as high as competitor products. Creative may have deliberately engineered this range to its products, or they might have simply thought that too much high-frequency noise coming through little tiny earbuds is just not too good for the ears. This is not an uncommon design philosophy.

High Pitch ring/ B

Hi guys, i've been reading alot of issues with the x-fi and nf4. So i figured i see if anyone if familiar with this before i try creatives imfamous tech support. Anyways i am quite computer literate and understand whats going on. Now for my issue, at random times during games, specifically Company of Heroes, Underground 2, Star Wars Empire at War the sound will screetch a high ping ring and stay that way. So loud that i have to turn my speakers off. It only goes away when i restart the comp. Now i have SLI, I turned it off in COH and it seemed to go away for now, but that defeats the prupose of having sli lol. But the other games seem to have some issue or another relating to this. I didnt think this qualifies and the crackling problem i've heard alot about this seems different. FYI onbaord sound works fine. Now i have no other pci card, just the sound blaster but it does share an irq with one of my video cards, asus said thats how the pci bus works on the newier boards (kinda baffled me). Newiest bios, newiest drivers blah blah no rookie stuff. All other onboard devices are off PCI Lat at 64. Now for my specs
Asus p5n32-sli se (nf4)
Intel core 2 duo e6600
2xg corsair xms pc6400 5-5-5-2 The stock timings are 4-4-4-0 i set them high just incase
2x evga 7900gt co's
550watt Antec Trupower

Yeah i also have a p5n32-sli SE with a E6600 and the same memory and PSU but with two 7800gt in sli, and in most games like for example Gothic 3 and Dark messiah of might and magic i also get that problem. Altho in some games it seems more random, like in gothic 3 i can sometimes play for very long times without it happening but in say dark messiah i get it constantly after a pretty short while. And also since that high pitch beep can be muted in windows i would guess its some kind of software problem.
I found these threads with other people having the same problem

but no solution, altho some claim disabling SLI will work but as you said that relly isnt an option, id rather use my onboard sound in that case.
I sent a mail to creatives support like a week ago but have yet to get a reply.
The only thing i forgot to try was using the old drivers that came with the card instead of the latest, but i had to pull out the card to find the serial and model numbers when contacting support and i havent bothered putting the card back in so i cant try, but then again i think someone in one of those threads already tried with older drivers and it didnt fix it.
Well , I remeber the days when soundblaster cards were THE cards for gaming but sadly creative seems to have dropped the ball with this series, and sadly seeing all the problems creative are having with these cards and the lack of support even indicating they are working on fixing the isssues , well lets just say i probably wont waste my money on a creative product ever again, after all thats all i can do as a consumer.

How can I remove high-pitched distortion from voice-over?

Hi folks,
I'm completely new to fixing audio. I am making a short film, and for a voice-over, I recently had to do an interview over the phone (the subject lives in a very remote location). Actually, I used GoToMeeting, we called into the conference call feature from our phones, and I recorded the meeting into a wmv file. Then I re-encoded it using Expression Encoder so I could pull it into Adobe Audition.
I am attaching a short phrase (extracted as a .wav file) from the interview in the hope that someone can tell me how to improve the quality of the sound. I have Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition, both CS6 and CC versions.
Short voice recording - Creative COW
1. Can anyone tell me, please, how to get rid of the high-pitched "ringing" kind of distortion that we hear on each of her loudest syllables? Also, does this particular type of distortion have a name? I kept finding articles on fixing sound, but wasn't sure what I'm dealing with here, so I wasn't sure which techniques were likely to work. Tried a bunch, and the overall sound got better, but so far nothing has fixed that high-pitched distortion.
2. After getting rid of that ringing distortion, what are your recommendations for making the voice recording sound as rich, smooth and full as possible? In real life, this woman has a BEAUTIFUL, rich voice. But the recording sounds like a flat telephone call (because it is).
Thanks in advance,
Mary

Well, I don't think there's any miracles to be had here. As you say, it's a telephone call and I fear that, since phone lines filter out anything above about 4k, there's no way of replacing it.
I had a look at your file in spectral view and you can clearly see the original material going, as expected, up to about 4 kilohertz--but, above that, there's a generalised area of noise. My suspicion--and it's only a suspicion--is that during your double conversions (to wmv then through a third party app to something else) one of them has added the extra noise as it your original was full bandwidth.
Anyhow, best I could do was use the Marquee tool in Spectral View, draw a rectangle around the upper area (you can see a clear boundary between the programme content and the random extra frequencies) then just delete everything above just over 4 khz then delete.
As for making a phone call sound full and rich, if there was a way to do it, when I was working in TV we could have saved hundreds of thousands a year by using phones instead of far more expensive circuits!

Eliminating high-pitched noise

I have recorded an acoustic guitar track using two condenser mics. During playback, I am hearing a high-pitched ringing - just loud enough to be annoying. I have recorded guitar dozens of times with this exact same set up and have never had this problem.
I am trying to figure out a way to eliminate (or at least reduce) this noise from the track without having to re-record the whole thing. Does anyone know if there is an effect or filter or EQ trick I can employ for this?

I don't know what filter Plugs you're using but Logic's Eqs should be able to do this. If it's a stereo track use the Linear phase Eq to preserve the correct phases. So look at the frequency display of your Eq, and boost the ringing with a notch filter band (set to maybe +15 dB - watch your ears), set the Q to 100 (as narrow as it can be) and go through the frequency spectrum until you've found the ringing. Then turn the gain to a negative value until the ringing has gone away. If that doesn't do it, try iZotope RX (they have a demo) which has a fantastic spectral repair function.

Whistling high pitched noise in standby Bravia KDL-43W800C

My new Bravia KDL-43W800C is making an intermittent whistle sound (the same whistle goes for about 5 seconds and happens maybe every minute or so). It does this when it is turned on (in stand by) and when it is turned off turned off. Please help!

HI Richard12,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
If the TV produces a high-pitched noise, follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue.
Change the channel or video input of the TV.
IMPORTANT: If the noise only occurs on a specific channel or input, the issue may be with the signal being received. It may be necessary to contact the signal provider.
Turn off the TV.
Ensure that any audio or video components are connected to the TV properly.
Remove all third party audio or video components connected to the TV.
NOTE: If the issue is resolved after removing third party audio or video components, one of those components causes the issue. To determine exactly which component is causing the issue, reconnect each audio or video component independently and check the status after each component is connected.
Unplug the TV power cord from the AC outlet.
Let the TV set without power for 30 seconds.
Plug the TV power cord back into the AC outlet.
Turn on the TV.
If the issue goes unresolved, remove all connected devices then reset the TV to default settings. Here are the steps.
Press and hold the Power button on the remote until the "Power off" message appears/ is displayed (approx. 5 seconds)
Release the Power button when "Power off" message appears on-screen
The TV will then turn itself off. Wait for a minute before turning it on again
IMPORTANT: Performing a reset does not erase your settings or downloaded apps; it just resets the TV's software.
For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.

My droid razr m suddenly developed a high pitched buzz while ringing and when callers are speaking. It doesn't buzz while on speaker. Any one have same problem or a solution to it?

Teakman lets make sure your device is clear as a whistle! There is not a known audio issue with the Droid Razr M so it appears this may be an hardware defect with the device. To make certain that's not an internal issue, I would recommend completing a Hard Reset http://vz.to/1kEchad .

I am unable to watch a HD quality movie I purchased on Itunes store, cannot watch connecting my Laptop (Ultrabook) to Sony Bravia LED. I get some message stating HD quality is not compatiable.
Can any one help solve this?
Otherwise it is useless to buy movies from Itunes store.

Connect Macbook to Sony Bravia HDTV via HDMI?

I am trying to connect my Macbook to a Sony Bravia HDTV via HDMI, but are unable to get one to recognize the other. I am not sure what the problem is.
I have the following set up:
- Macbook 13" (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2, 10.4.11)
- Apple Mini DVI to DVI adopter
- 15' DVI to HDMI cable (from monoprice.com, same cable recommended elsewhere in these forums)
- Sony Bravia KDL46W3000, (Full HD 1920 x 1080 p)
The Sony tv does not seem to recognise the Mac is connected (and/or vise versa). The screen is just black. Yes, I have tried all 3 of the HDMI inputs on it, Yes, I have set the tv input setting to match the corresponding input jack. HDMI does work on the tv though, as I have a DVD player connected via HDMI and that works fine.
The Mac Display preference pane does not detect the tv/monitor being connected. I normally use another external LCD monitor with the Macbook via mini DVI to VGA adaptor without any problem. I have tried various solutions others have mentioned for similar problems I found in these forms, such as turning the tv off then on, rebooting the Macbook before connecting, etc. and every other combination.
An hour on the phone with Sony tech support did not get me anywhere closer other than they say the Mac should recognize the tv as an external monitor.
Has anyone with a very similar configuration managed to get this to work? Please note, I am well aware that many many people use HDTV's as a external monitor, but this is a Sony Bravia, not a LG, or Samsung, or anything else. Also, it is a Macbook, not a Powerbook or anything else. Also, I am trying to connect via HDMI, and not VGA.
Any tips or success stories would be appreciated.
Thanks

I hooked my Sony .Bravia 40" up to my MacBook with no problem. From your description, it sounds like you may also have a bad DVI->HDMI cable. I'm using the stock Apple miniDVI adaptor mated to my DVI->HDMI cable.
I was going to go the route you took and use the VGA port on my Bravia, but thought it might limit me to "side" letterboxes since I thought VGA basically stood for 640x480 or 4X3 format. I'm surprised that you get 1920x1080 from a VGA cable. While your picture may be great, by definition I understand high to low video quality in order is...
HDMI/DVI, Component, s-video, VGA, and lastly, A/V cables.
My DVI->HDMI cable is a cheapie that I think I bought at Frys. This type of cable is probably getting harder to find as most stuff is straight HDMI now. Anyone thinking of getting a new flat screen should strongly remember to get one with at least 3 HDMI ports unless they are into cable switch-a-roo when connecting various devices. The stock devices today are cable/satellite, Blu-Ray/HD-DVD/DVD and one for the old Mac.

Black Macbook out to Sony Bravia Question

So I just bought a new Sony Bravia 22" LCD TV. I'm excited to use the TV as a monitor for my computer, or at least so that I can play back Hulu or other such videos on the TV. The TV supports VGA in as a "PC" input as well as 2 HDMI ports. I know I need to get an adapter for the mini DVI port on my Macbook, however I'm not sure whether to go the route of mini DVI to VGA or mini DVI to DVI with a DVI-HDMI cable to the computer. I know in both cases I will need a separate audio cable so that's not the issue. The TV says that it has a native 720p resolution. I think the highest VGA resolution supported by the TV is 1360x768, but the HDMI is higher I think. Thanks for your help

I also have a black macbook and I recently purchased a 42" Sony Bravia TV and I have a few questions...
So I think I need 3 things:
- the mini DVI to VGA cable
- the VGA to VGA cable (that will connect to my TV right? how long of a cable is useful?)
- another cable for the audio...
What do I need to get for the audio portion? Someone told me to get a 3.5mm AV RCA Cable with the red/white that connect to the ports on my TV and then the headphone jack on my laptop.
Advice? Thanks!

Macbook 2008 and connecting to Sony Bravia-help needed!

I have a macbook 2008 (early) and wanted to hook it up to watch on my sony bravia tv. I have been told to get a mini DVI to hdmi and then an hdmi cable. Is this correct and is there anyway to get sound other than purchasing another audio cable?

Ok, based on your photo, it's a bit blurry, it looks like your TV comes with a VGA + Audio input AND HDMI + Audio input, so you get to choose which one you want to use.
How to connect:
VGA + Audio (Red)
Video - A Mini-DVI - VGA adaptor, with VGA cable to TV.
Audio - Computer headphone outlet to the Audio input, using a 3.5mm male to male stereo cable. (it looks like a 3.5mm socket on the TV, confirm on site)
HDMI + Audio (Yellow)
Video - A Mini-DVI - HDMI adaptor, with HDMI cable to TV
Audio - Computer headphone outlet to the Audio IN, using a 3.5mm male to RCA male (red/white connectors) stereo cable.
No surround sound option here, as I cannot se a TOS Link input
Which is better?
Your computer puts out a digital signal via the DVI, so HDMI is probably the better option. you will get a higher resolution to the TV, better for movies. Some say the VGA option is better, if you are going to use it for text.
I mentioned earlier that you may get some audio sync issues using HDMI. That was probably more likely when I was thinking that you were going to need to use an adaptor to add the audio to the HDMI cable. As yours can be kept separate to the TV, it probably won't be as much of an issue.
