Very loud BT 6500

I have just bought a set of BT 6500 phones (Base and extra). I use Virgin Cable for my phones. Both BT6500's seem to be very good but they are very, very loud, even though I've reduced the volume to "minimum". There is no static, etc, on the line, just very loud. Anybody got any ideas how to reduce the volume beyond the "minimum"? Many thanks in advance for any help, Directrix.

How about this : -
I read the small print and you can cancel an order if it hasn't been dispatched.
Here's a copy of the response I got to my request for cancellation.
Unfortunately we would be unable to cancel this order as it is currently being dispatched from BT's warehouse directly instead of our own due to the high demand of this item.
I have requested that they cancel this order from their warehouse and will email you to confirm that this has been cancelled. This should be within the next 24 ours.
I'm a little dazed and confused ( my age I guess ) with this response.
Nevertheless my order ( at the previous higher price ) was duly cancelled allowing me to place a new order at the lower price
The only difference being the delivery charge is up from .99p to £3.99
although delivered is said to be within 3 working days.
Oh, and no option to use PayPal this time, just a request for card details.
Overall I am happy with the way this has been dealt with : Small print said I could cancel and BT allowed that letting me take advantage of the lower advertised price allbeit with a higher delivery charge..
Now, just a three day wait, I hope !!!!

IS THERE A WAY OF INCREASING THE VOLUME ON A USB DOWNLOADED WITH I TUNES? WHEN I PLAY MUSIC FROM IT IN MY BMW IT IS NOT VERY LOUD.

IS THERE A WAY OF INCREASING THE VOLUME ON A THUMB DRIVE DOWNLOADED WITH ITUNES MUSIC? WHEN PLAYBACK ON BMW RADIO, EVEN WITH THE RADIO VOLUME AT MAX, MUSIC IS NOT VERY LOUD.

Can't answer the query, since I don't use thumb drives and my volume's very responsive. That said, please don't post using ALL CAPS. That's considered shouting and is very disconcerting.

Optical drive is very loud - why?

My optical drive is so loud it sounds like it's ready for takeoff. I've only had my late 2008 MacBook Pro for a couple of months and had no problems with CD's until just recently. They play just fine, but the drive keeps spinning at top speed throughout the time the CD plays. It did not do this until recently, and some of the referenced CDs were fine previously. I have had several optical drives in the past and all have behaved the same except this one. What I believe should be typical behavior: as the drive begins to read the disk it usually gets a little louder, then a little louder, then a little louder again, then backs off a level or two as you are listening/watching. Not silent, but not spinning at top speed either. Is this correct?
I took it to the genius bar today and they told me it was fine (in the middle of a very loud, busy store - I'm not sure how they could tell). They wouldn't allow me to compare it to another machine of theirs because they said that three different types of drives are used (in a late 2008 MacBook Pro???). When he confirmed that I'm stuck with this drive, I inquired how much it would cost to get a different/best new drive installed. He told me they never know which of the three drives they will get when they place an order. So even with Apple Care I can't BUY a decent drive????
I just want to be able to play CD's and not be blasted by the volume in order to cover up the ridiculously loud drive. And yes, I also download and copy music to my hard disk........but don't always want to do that.
At this point I don't even care about the cost..... I just want something that's right. Any suggestions on a new drive and where to get one?

same problem. i hate this things. 2000 euros, i don't accept this problems.

Apple put in a new hard drive, but not the computer is VERY LOUD!

I just got my 13 month old Intel iMac back from the Apple store -- it needed a new hard drive. When I first turned on the computer, it was very loud, and I thought they gave me someone else's computer by mistake, so I checked the Serial Number, and apparently it's my computer.
I can't take this noise. What's going on? The fan wasn't broken, but this sounds like a new fan in the computer that is much louder than the old fan.
Also, the Apple geniuses told me the computer would use Time Machine to install all my old settings (I have an external hard drive hooked up to the iMac). But it's not working at all. Whenever I tell the new hard drive to "Restore to a Time Machine Backup" and select the backup hard drive, the computer screen goes gray, and it starts all over again (with the "Hello" screen in all the different languages.
Please help. I guess the MIP issue is the noise -- I can't work with a computer this loud. It gives me a headache. Should I just take it back to the Apple store, and have the noise fixed first? There never was a noise problem before I took the computer in for the broken hard drive.
Thanks.

HI,
Try resetting the SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
If that doesn't help, take it back.
Tip... whenever you take a computer in for service and you pick it up, make sure it's running without problems *before you leave*. Especially in this case where you got it home and now have this noise issue.

Very loud fan (or other part?) noise in MacBook Pro

Greetings! My fan (I assume) has recently started making a very loud, horrible noise that sounds like a piece of plastic stuck in the spokes of a bike. It's driving me crazy and making me a burden to be around me when I'm working...which is always. Please help! I'd greatly appreciate it.

Perform a SMC reset:

If there is no change, open the MBP and examine it. Look for dirt an debris, and if found, clean it out. You will need a #00 Phillips driver.
If still no success it may be that the fan is faulty and should be replaced. Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free and definitive diagnosis. It is not an expensive repair.
Ciao.

My powerbook makes a very loud noise for hours!

i dropped my powerbook off my lofted bed the other day and it landed on the ground on the very left side. the charger is a little bent and split (the actual thing you insert into the computer), and the very left side where the charger whole is is a little bent.
however, there's been a noise coming out of my computer like a tktktktkttk noise constantly. it's very loud and disturbing. the powerbook runs fine except for this noise. i don't know if a fan is broken or something. the noise will stop when i put the powerbook to sleep and usually will stay quiet if i'm either running just safari or Word, but if i open itunes or ichat or anything where it needs to start something up the noise goes on for hours.
it started last night for a few minutes, then stopped, and now it's been doing this the entire day.
my questions are:
1. is this a problem with the fan?
2. is there anything i can do to stop it?
3. what is the problem?
4. how much will it cost to repair? i have applecare, but that runs out in feb., and i knwo they won't cover it for accidential damages.
5. any other advice?
6. has this happened to anyone before?

Hi ...
If the sound you hear on startup sounds like a "chord" being played, that's ok. That's telling you your Mac passed it's startup diagnostic tests. But a "whirring" noise.... no, that should not happen.
If it doesn't sound like a chord, probably best to take it back for a replacement. You have 14 days from the date you received the product for an exchange. Beyond that, your iMac has a one year limited warranty.

ITunes 7 and very loud buzz during music playback

I upgraded to iTunes 7 and now when I play music on my iMac G4 I occasionally get a very loud buzz breaking into the music. It seems totally unpredictable and it sounds like a very loud, annoying alarm. I think it only appears in the left-hand speaker, but not sure. It never happened with previous versions of iTunes and I haven't added any additional software since upgrading iTunes and Quicktime. It's such a jarring sound that I'm almost too scared to play music through iTunes now because the buzz creates a real shock to the nerves when it happens. Any ideas? I haven't adjusted any preference defaults in iTunes or Quicktime since downloading the upgrades.

Same issue here with iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.3 and now with iOS 8.2. New Pioneer DEH6700BS. Took back to shop and had new deck replaced - SAME ISSUE. Mine is around 7:30 minute and same drop out right after that as you are seeing. I have tested with iPod Touch and my son's iPhone 5C and I don't get this issue despite multiple testing scenarios. Looks like the common denominator is the iPhone 6.

My Macbook Fan Is Running Very Loud...

My fan has been running very loud for the past week and I'm not sure whats wrong with it.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If the fan is working all the time, it looks like a sensor problem.
Run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Plug the MacBook Pro to its charger, choose your language, tick the box to run an extended test and start the test. If at the end of the test you see an error, copy it here.
It's probable that this is a sensor problem, but if the problem doesn't happen during startup, it would be a process which is consuming your CPU. Open Activity Monitor, select "All Processes" above "Show" in the toolbar, and order processes by CPU. Do you see any process which is consuming more CPU than the others?

MacBook fan running very loudly

I have been having issues with my MacBook overheating and causing the fan to run very loudly (so loudly I can't listen to music or watch videos on it very well). I have had the motherboard replaced twice this year alone by Apple and I still have coverage till November of this year. They told me if I keep it on a flat surface (like a desk), the problem shouldn't keep happening. More times than none, I only have one application running like Safari or Firefox with only one page open and still the computer is incredibly loud. Any suggestions? I really do not want to take it out to a retail store again unless I can get a new MacBook out of it since it'll be the third time the motherboard has been replaced.

Macbook Pro Lid Making Very Loud Cracking Noises

I recently got my Macbook Pro 13" screen replaced for a pixel defect. When I opened and closed my lid, the lid moved smoothly from either position.
Now, it feels as if the lid has more resistance when I operate it. Worst of all, when it is at a 90 degree angle and I slowly retract it, the lid makes a very loud "crack" from the hinge. Could it be that the lid's screws are in too tightly?

Macbook has a very loud noise

When I turn on my Macbook Pro it has a very loud whirring noise. The noise continues for the whole time the macbook is turned on. Sometimes it becomes a little quieter but always is so loud my kids complain about it. The macbook is 5 years old but had a new graphics card/chip 2 years ago. The noise started about 2 weeks ago.
I took it to a genius at mac to check if the hard disc was failing and he couldnt diagnose any issue. Thought it might be the fans needed cleaning out.
Anyone got any ideas?
(I am constantly backing up in case the disc is about to fail)
Thanks

Yes, very likely, Ive seen endless clogged laptop and notebook fans ,......a lot of them were horrific
Dust and fuzz residue caked onto the internal fan
Dust bunnies and Fluffy’s fur
Your Macbook’s cooling system, including fan and rear vents pull cool air in from the back and (in the case of the Macbook pro) also from the left ports bringing this air around the processor, GPU, and heat sync and blow it out the back, as such your Macbook acts like a little vacuum cleaner of the air around you. If you use your notebook in a dusty area or around a lot of pet fur, this can quickly, even under seemingly ideal clean rooms, accumulate inside your notebook especially on the fan blades reducing its capacity for cooling and in a worse case scenario seize your fan due to caked on dust on the fan blades. Avoid very dusty areas or places where, over the long term you know fuzz, fur, or even smoke can enter into your Macbook.
Is it making a buzzing or scraping noise?
If you only hear it in a quiet room, that is normal.
noisy fan reasons:
A: you notice it more in a quiet room (the typical case) which is normal, all is AOK
B: fuzz and dust has caked onto the blades causing the fan hub to get off balance and make a buzzing sound.
C: fan rotor is going bad and making a whirring or buzz noise (rare).
D: Fan is spinning up due to excess heat from gaming, heavy graphics (typical, all is OK)
A and D are normal
B and C are not.
Do you use it in a dusty area or where there is a lot of pet fuzz? Laptop fans act like little vacuum cleaners and take in dust etc. from the ambient air around them.
If B and C continue for a long time (B is just a cleaning), they eventually cause the fan to either seize and/or die.
Good news, if that happens, and out of warranty, fan is a very cheap fix.
Bad news, if you let the fan die and continue to run same, you can overheat your unit and cause unwanted damage.

Retina MacBook Pro fan very loud and usb mouse disconnecting when restarting the computer

2 days ago, I got a brand new retina MacBook Pro 13 inch with the specs 2.8 GhZ i7, 8 gigs of ram and 512gb ssd. It should definitely be functioning properly since it's a really expensive computer, but I already noticed a few problems that I hope you can help me with.
So first of all, when I play World of Warcraft, the fan seems to go up to 6000rpm and is very loud. I checked the activity monitor and it says WoW is using about 60% CPU, so it shouldn't have to be that loud. I also installed smcfancontrol, but it doesn't seem to lower the speed of the fan.
I ran an apple diagnostics test and it couldn't find any problems, and I also tried resetting my smc, but the fan is still going very loud.
And the second problem I have is, that when I have my mouse usb connected to my Mac, and I restart it, it can't detect the mouse anymore. So I'd have to pull out the usb plug and put it back in everytime I turn on my computer. isn't it supposed to automatically connect to my mouse when it's already plugged in?

Matt,
Try reading this, then go to the section on Resetting the SMC for a Macbook Pro with a battery you should not remove.
