Speakers Making High Pitched Noises!

Hey guys so I have my iPhone 5 for about 2 years in like 40 days (So I am still under warranty) Anyway I noticed when I play music, anything that is high pitched, it makes like a screeching or high pitched noise, I noticed my speakers were kind of dirty, so I took a fine tooth brush and got them squeaky clean and they still make the noise any reason why?
It's kind of frustrating, as when I play music it sounds like junk.

X-fi Extreme Music - Mouse making high pitched noise when moved

? Whenever I move my mouse my headphones make a very high pitched noise. I moved my mouse to all usb ports and it still happens, cant change my IRQ in bios and vista has them all locked out from being changed. I also have my X-fi as far away as possible from my video card. I have no idea whats doing this but i need some help.
Specs are as follows
P5Q-PRO
Q6600 @ 3.48GHZ
4GB Mushkin @ 078

I've never had pictures of the mod, as it is it wouldn't show up vey well in a photograph, not to mention that every front panel board is different from one manufacturer to another. Mine came with my Gigabyte Aurora case, but Gigabyte probably didn't manufacture the circuit board itself.
I had the noise problem when I first tried out my new Bose headphones with it and knew I needed to fix it. The main issue is the metal mounting studs that attach the board to the case front cause a ground loop with the grounds coming in from the sound card, as well as the motherboard USB headers. Having all these grounds just connected together like that is the root of the problem. By far the worst issue is the studs being connected to the foils on the board. Scraping the foil off the board where it makes contact with the studs will probably fix most of the noise. Next, cutting a gap in the foils between the incoming grounds from the sound card and USB headers will clean up more noise. If properly done, and all plugs removed from their headers, there will be an OPEN connection between any one ground wire and another, as well as there will be an OPEN between the chassis (case) and any of the ground wires. The ground wires coming from the headers should show a good connection to their appropriate socket ground on the front panel, but again, an OPEN between each other.

My aux port is making high pitch noises

I have had 2 4s in 2 weeks, both make a high frequency noise while plugged into the auxhillary port in my car. When I try other devices, iphones, and other phones the noise is gone. I have switched the aux cord out as well. My first device was tested at an Apple store where they found "no issues" but becuase my self and an associate at Verizon tested phones in my car port and found my phone to be the only one with the noise, they replaced. The new phone started off just fine, then a day later it is making similiar noises. Any words of wisdom?

No, not normal at all.
Do you have another charger you can try?
If not, I would recommend you make an appointment at an Apple store and bring your phone & its charger in to be examined and to determine if they need to be replaced.

Power adapter making a high pitched noise

Hi,
I was wondering if it is normal for my power adapter to be making a high pitched noise constantly. The noise stops or lessens very briefly when the computer is doing something (i.e. switching web pages) but, otherwise, it is constant. It is a really annoying high pitched whine. If this is not normal, what can I do about it. Do I need another one? Will Applecare cover it? Thanks!

Whereas I am not sure if this is normal, I figured I'd add that I see a similar problem happening on my power adapter.
I noticed on mine that it only makes the sound when the magsafe LED is green, if it's charging the battery it does not happen.
This started only about 2 weeks ago.

A high pitched noise...

I've recently noticed that my 3rd Gen ipod is making a high pitched kind-of whizzing noise when it's in use. It started out doing it just when it was being updated so, I didn't think much of it. Now, it's doing it all of the time. It's never done this because so, I don't really know what to do about it.

I swear I'm not a dog but when using my Facebook app, my Yahoo IM app, and just having the home screen on, I get a very noticeable high pitched noise from the speakers. Tried a hard restart, still same thing. Goes away when screen goes to sleep, then comes back when back on after a minute.
Will bring it in, just wondering if I'm going to get the crazy look from the Genius at a noisy store who likely won't be able to hear....

Since Yosemite upgrade, high pitch noise creating case vibration on MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) (on watching the keynote online)

Hi,
Great work on Yosemite, great new design as well.
Several problems since the Yosemite upgrade though :
    - When playing high pitch noise (watching the keynote for example), the speakers make the case around it vibrate. This was not happening under Mavericks and previous OSXs.
    - This page (post editing) does not allow the right click (works everywhere else as far as I'm aware).
    - when changing the volume, I have now the noise feedback when clicking on shift+volume up/down and no sound when clicking on volume up/down on my keyboard (was the inverse before).
    - The keyboard light was stuck in off, had to restart the computer.
More general problems (covering the last OSX since introduction of 10.9) :
    - lack of possibility of choosing for a 3x3 set of desktops as it was before (the new mission control only allow us to have a horizontal set of several desktops)
    - Notifications cannot be turned off automatically when being in full screen. (only options for auto turn off given are "display is sleeping" oO and when "mirroring on another display" -> meh, would have prefer when having an app in full screen)
System :
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009)
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,3
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Memory: 8 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP53.00AC.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.48f2

Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

ITunes high pitch noise when in full screen on 27" iMac11,1

Hello,
When running iTunes 10.5.1 in full screen mode on Lion 10.7.2, I get a faint, high pitch noise coming from my speakers. If I run iTunes in a refular window, the noise does not manifest itself. I can switch back and forth between one full screen app and iTunes, and the noise goes on and off and only manifests itself in iTunes.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I think I've found a workaround. The problem doesn't only happen in iTunes, but also in the Finder's list view when in full screen.
The workaround is to use Shades, a small utility that creates a uniform black color mask over my screen. All I had to do was set the brightness of my screen to 100%, run shades and lower the "brightness" using that utility to something comfortable for my eyes.
I think the issue comes from the high frequency flicker that the LED back light uses when the screen is being dimmed. For some reason, the speakers pick up on it when in list view... Why only list view? Beats me.
Anyway, the Shades prefpane can be downloaded from the following URL:

I hope this helps.
All the best!

A215-7422 Audio Issue: High-pitched noise

About 2 weeks ago, the audio would suddenly stop. After restarting the laptop, it would work fine again. This morning, however, the audio completely died. Restarting it only gave me a low frequency click upon start up. Updating the drivers and the system only made the laptop give off a high-pitched noise through the speakers that persists through turning the volumn down/off and plugging in headphones, on top of which it continues not to play an audio.

A quick update if it helps: I went in a disabled "High Definition Audio Device" and the high pitched noise from the speakers stopped. Not sure if that helps anyone.

Time Capsule has high pitch noise

I guess these things are notorious for their internal power supply failing. My time capsule started making a high pitch noise yesterday. Is this a sign of the power supply failing? Any idea of how much it would cost to repair? I have no applecare.

Welcome to the discussions!
Unfortunately, a high pitched squeal is almost always a sign of a power supply capacitor that is failing. Suggest you contact Apple to get the name of a nearby authorized Apple repair shop.
This link may also provide some help on repairs, although I cannot vouch for any of these shops.

Satellite U500 - High pitched noise

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite U500 and the system itself seems to be working perfectly well. About a month ago, my laptop began to make a noise, an unbearable constant high pitched noise. The only time that the noise stops is when the laptop is off and for a very brief period when windows starts up.
The noise seems to come from the speakers, but it continues whether I mute the speakers or not*.

Hi
> How to disconnect HDD to check what you suggest.
You can only remove it from the HDD bay the HDD bay is placed at the bottom of the unit and you have to remove the screw which secures the HDD bay cover.
Then you could remove the HDD carefully
But without HDD you are not able to boot into windows and as you already said you have discovered the issue. It seems to come from the speakers and its related to sound card.
Maybe you should update the sound card driver and BIOS
Otherwisce try to get in contact with an local ASP!!!

Ipod touch 4 creates high pitch noise from cassette adapter

Did not have this issue with my ipod touch 2nd generation.
Have a Monster cassette adapter in my car (looks to be an earlier model than what is currently for sale at Apple website). ipod touch runs off of battery (not plugged into power source).
Creates a high pitch noise through the speakers. Not particularly loud, but annoying and very noticeable during quiet moments of music/podcasts
Volume of noise does not change with changing the volume on the car audio system.
Will start when the ipod touch starts playing. Will persist as long as the ipod is playing. Will not immediately stop when the music is paused. It will stop though after about 10-15 seconds.
Any ideas of what is causing this and why it did not happen with my previous ipod touch (2nd gen)?
Using iOS 4.1

Thanks for the suggestions/questions
If I plug the touch into my wife's car that uses a straight plug-in (no cassette adapter), I don't hear the noise. Unfortunately this is not an option on my car.
Have not tried plugging it into an actual home stereo but can give that a try.
If the engine is shut off, the noise is still present. Unaffected by the engine or RPM of it.
One other clarification - the noise is constant coming from the ipod. It does not vary based on the ipod volume. What this means is that if I turn up the ipod to full volume (and turn down the volume of the car stereo), the noise is less noticeable.
Of course the noise gets amplified with the rest of the music by the car stereo volume.
Will also try other suggestion and see what happens if I turn Airplane mode on.
Thanks
