Sound coming from back side of Iphone 5.

Sound coming from back side of Iphone 5 when I tap on it or shake it. Mainly near the camera area.

I have exactly the same issue and I'm wondering is that normal or it is a defect in some devices

Subtle knocking sound coming from right side of MacBook

Since a few weeks my MacBook makes a very subtle but hearable knocking noise coming in irregular intervals from the right side (I put my ear on the MacBopk and waited). Coincidentally I did two things around the time the noise started: I bought a new hard drive (Western Digital Scorpio, 2.5", 8MB Cache, 250GB) and installed Leopard. Since the sound definitely comes from the right side it can't be hard drive related. According to Disk Utility the hard drive seems to be okay too.
Since the only component with moving parts is the optical drive I suspect that this might be the source of the noise. The problem is, that it's not reproducable and only occours irregularly. Plus every disk I insert plays fine (there was one incident with a DVD of "Lost" which went to pause every minute or so without pressing any button though).
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks for your answer, impulse_telecom. Unfortunately I really can't tell these operations apart (especially since this noise comes and goes without any special action ...) so I don't really know what the drive is doing when it's making the noise. The (relatively) good news is that it's been making this noise for about a month now and I haven't noticed any data loss or read/write errors. But it could also be that since my hard drive is 250GB it might take a while for these errors to pop up. Since Leopard my boot caches had to be updated twice (never saw that under Tiger) when rebooting and I don't really know if that's a good thing and/or related to this.
I'll try and record the noise today and post it.
(I wanted to mark your comment as helpful too but there seems to be a limit per thread/day ... sorry).

I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. The head phones work though. I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled. Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. There is sound when we use the headphones. Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device. Who h has not helped.

TS1425 My iPod Classic was working fine all day. Came home and uploaded to voice memos via iTunes, now there is no sound coming from my iPod. I've used both headphones and a docking station. The songs don't even begin, they just skip to the next one.

My iPod Classic was working fine all day. Came home and uploaded 2 files via iTunes, now there is no sound coming from my iPod. I've tried both headphones and a docking station......nothing. The songs don't even engage, they skip to the next one. I've tried rebooting the iPod and still nothing. Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried resetting the PMU?
I'm not optimistic that this will help any more than the procedures you've already tried, but it won't hurt to try.
Do you still have your OS 9 installation? If so, try booting into OS 9 and see if the problems with the audio are happening there, too. If so, you can bet it's a hardware problem.
How big is your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If you don't have your OS 9 installation in order to check out whether it's a hardware problem and you have enough available hard drive space, you may want to try an Archive and Install of the OS in order to make sure it isn't an OS X system-wide problem. If that doesn't do it, you could back up your hard drive and restore your software.
All of this may just be spinning your wheels, but it's all stuff you can try before shelling out a lot of money for repairs.

Whenever I use the trackpad on my 17" Macbook Pro (2010 model) there is a small, trebly processor sound coming from within the enclosure.

Whenever I use my trackpad, there is a whirring, trebly sound coming from within the computer itself. It happens also when webpages are loaded or programs are compiled, but not when I use the keyboard or when the computer is in disuse. It has become louder over time, and it is obvious that when the computer senses input from the trackpad and must translate it, the sound is produced. Is there any way to reset the firmware or an option on the Settings menu that could perhaps help? I am concerned that it is a symptom of a larger problem. Thanks.

The question mark means the computer cannot find a bootable volumes so can;t do anything, That, combined with annoying sounds, strongly suggests a failed hard drive.
You can ask a "genius" at an Apple Rtail Store to test it but I'm pretty sure the drive is kaput. I'm hoping you had your data backed up.

Harsh rattling sound coming from fan.

Normally, when I use an application that requires a lot of CPU power or when I'm watching a YouTube video, the internal fan speeds up to 6000+ RPM but it started sounding weird the past week. Right when I "wake up" my MacBook from sleep, I here a faint rattling sound coming from where the fan should be but it disipates after a few minutes. When I view a video though, the rattling becomes a bit louder combined with the normal sound of the fan. Also, I noticed when I picked up my macbook when its fan was going fast and tilted it to its sides, the rattling sound corresponds with the movement of the computer (louder each time I tilted it left to right).
Could the fan be broken/loose? I sprayed some air into the keyboard to get rid of dust but nothing changed. I recently ran out of my Applecare warranty last September. Thanks in advance!

Hey
Sorry to say but you could be looking at a hardware problem. That being said there are still things you can try.
Try this artile: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 for an SMC reset.
If that does not work make sure all of your software is up to date. If it is, you may have a hardware problem.
Run the Apple hardware test that came on the disc with the computer to see if it comes up with anything... Although sometimes it doesn't even if there is a problem.
Regards,
Britt.

Low muffled sound coming from the speakers on IPod Touch

How can I resolve the low muffled sound coming from speakers on IPod Touch 4th generation?
Reset of apps was done and full reset of the IPod was done.

This is not normal and there is no solution you can administer from home without voiding any warranty you may have... i suggest taking it to your nearest apple store and letting them know, they are very good when it comes to these small problems and will most likely give you another iPod while they fix/throw away your old one... Do a backup first though, so you can load your files back onto the new one.

There is no sound coming from my ipod!!

Hi, I am using an itouch 2nd gen. and there is no sound coming from it when i attach my ear phones to it. I have reset the settings, restored it, switched it off many times, still nothing. The earphones are working just fine. Some help would be great!! Thanks!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. Not clear if you did that type of restore
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Has anyone experienced a popping sound coming from their speakers after the upgrade to 10.8.5?

Has anyone experienced a popping sound coming from their speakers after upgrading to 10.8.5? If you play something with sound (like iTunes or YouTube video) it goes away but then appears again after you wake up your computer from sleep.

Beep sound coming from FIOS Box.

Every 15 minutes, I hear beep sound coming from my Fios Box. What is wrong?

if it's the battery back up in your garage or basement, then it's probably time to replace the battery. that normally is an alarm that the battery needs to be replaced. in your TOS when you activate your fios it describes that verizon will take care of the battery for 1 year, and after 1 year you are responsible to replace it.
battery mart on the internet is the cheapest place I have found to replace it. 16 bux plus shipping.

http://www.batterymart.com/p-12v-7ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery-f2.html
I don't know if it's an F1 connector or an F2 connector, so on the website they give you a little guide, and you can look at your battery and see which one it has.
if you installed within a year, then call verizon and they should send you a new one at no cost.
there is also an alarm silence button, but I am not sure how long it makes it a silent alarm for. maybe a couple hours, maybe a couple days, someone else on here might be able to answer that.

I don't have any sound coming from my speakers after updating my HP Envy H8-1513C?????

My sound coming from the internet on my MacBook Air is not working!

I bought this MacBook Air a month ago is the new one, everything was working well but suddenly the sound coming from the internet stop working.
My computer sound is working perfectly is just when I want to watch a video or listed a song from youtube talk on skype isnt working at all.
When I press the volume button i can hear it.
Can someone tell me what can it be?

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Suddenly no sound coming from HP Pavilion 500-339 Desktop

I've had this computer less than a month without any issues. From a couple days ago there is no sound coming from any source (various speakers, headphone jack directly into computer).
I have checked everything, i.e., checked all the external cables, used the Windows diagnostics and checked all sound devices, volume settings, checked for mute etc. No issues have been detected with the audio hardware and drivers.
I've also done a system restore, removed recent Windows updates (within the week), uninstalled and reinstalled the IDT high-def audio drivers and still nothing. Every time I do a diagnostic it says the audio is working properly yet no sound comes out for anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

Why is there no sound coming from my mac air book ?

why is there no sound coming from my mac aribook?

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
