Weak signal, too much noise.

47% signal strength, 18% noise. I've searched the communities, internet with no luck. (Please don't point me to Apple articles as I've probably read them all relative to my problem. Please?) I have 2 express stations. The station connected to my modem via ethernet is up high, i.e., no interference. It's less than 15 feet from where I'm sitting as I type this. The second express is the extender. My network is on its own channel. WPA2 secured. n/b/g compatible (I've got an iPhone). I've even tried moving things around, physically, to see if that would help. It hasn't. The firmware is up to date. Are there any settings I might be missing that could help? Thanks for taking the time to try and help.

Hi,
Auto Lighting Optimizer and Highlight Tone Priority are useful functions, but it's very likely to get noiser images (in dark areas) if you enable any of them. Especially if you had ALO set to "strong".
Shoot the same scene with and without any of those functions enabled and you'll see the difference.
When they're well used they can give you great result, but you have to be careful to avoid excesive noise increase in dark areas.

Is your superdrive making too much noise?

i'm just a bit concern when i play dvd on my new powerbook, it is making too much noise. sometimes it fails to play the dvd because of scratches(which i can't see it at all). my computer would stuck at the same image for about 3 minutes or more and i have to force the computer to shut down by holding the startup button. there are times when it would not eject the dvd out as well. any opinions? just quite frustrated. thanks

I am suffering from part of the problems you mentioned.
The SD itself is not noisy when DVD are playing.
But after pausing the movie, then it fails to resume with really strange noises (as if the head was "bumping" on the disk). Then I cannot eject the disk (the drive will apparently loop on noisy attemps to resume), and I have to reboot the PB.
I am also suffering for very frequent "disk rejection" (disk ejected after load without it appearing on the Finder), not only with DVDs, but also with regular Audio CDs (including clean unscratched ones)

Makes too much noise as soon as I switch it on and never stops and takes a long time to shut down

Makes too much irritating background noise that makes it impossible to record the audio for my videos

Hi,

Getting way too much noise ???

Hi! I'm working on a track with a few synth layers from my korg and other audio etc.. it sounds perfect in logic but like sh*t as mp3.. i tried turning normalize on and it just made it really quiet so i went to amplify it in audacity and it brought the noise back in.. without normalize its good volume but with noise and i also put adaptive limiters on a bunch of the tracks which didn't do much.. id REALLY appreciate if someone could suggest some solutions! either with getting rid of the noise for when i bounce it, or a good way to raise the volume of the track when i bounce it with normalization on, mostly since i can turn up the volume on my computer and theres no noise but amplyifing it in audacity produces noise.. probably cause it messes with the frequencies or whatever i dont know haha but ok yeah thank you for reading! please help!!

Ecibob,
1. You can post images (PNG or JPEG) directly to your thread here. Many people cannot or will not follow external links to look at images. Use the Insert/edit image button in the toolbar at the top of the edit window.
2. There are on-line tutorials which will help you get started with LabVIEW.
3. What part of those signals is noise and what is real force? Turbulence, vibrations in the device, and other things could make all of this real. How are these signals measured? Do you have any kind of signal which can be used to synchronize with the motion of the wing?

Photos with noise reduction filters applied shows too much noise in preview mode

The Noise Reduction filters do an impressive job in Lightroom, but the preview of photos when zoomed out is sometimes poor.
This becomes especially visible on photos with a high amount of noise reduction applied.
When zooming in to 1:1 I see that the noise reduction works as it should. Also when exporting the images the noise is removed as it should.
I wish the non-zoomed preview inside Lightroom was able to show the image with the noise reduction applied more correctly than in version 3.4.
I'm using Lightroom 3.4 64-bit in Windows 7.
See samples of image with heavy noise reduction applied in 1:1 screen shot, and then a unzoomed screen shot of the same part of the image. As you can see the unzoomed preview contains much more noise than the zoomed image does.

I've had to encode with no noise reduction which is a shame, but have to get this DVD done.
Any ideas for the next one?
Thanks
Mark

My fan makes a bit too much noise! Whats wrong?

Hello,
For a couple of months my computer has been making quite a bit of noise. I think that there is something wrong with the fan, but I'm not quite sure what to do. When I go on skype and talk with my friends, they say that they can even hear my computer's fan! Even through the telephone. If I try to load something, something that's Java, then it will only load if the fan is making a lot of noise. If my computer is silent then it won't load the program. Should I replace the fan in my mac or what should I do?

Sofie,
It sounds like you have bigger problems than the noise of your fan, as you mentioned in your post,
"If I try to load something, something that's Java, then it will only load if the fan is making a lot of noise. If my computer is silent then it won't load the program."
You mac should load java regardless of the state of the fan, I think you may have other issues with your mac as the status of your fan making a lot of noise or not should in no way affect your ability to run applications on your Mac. Have you tried running the Hardware test on the CD/DVD that came with your iMac ? that may help track down a possible problem. Failing that trying doing a new install of your mac (remember to back up all your files first). I know that sounds a bit drastic but its worth a try.

C560 - Too much heat at monitor after Win 10 upgrade

Hi Friends, Before upgrading to win 10, I made clean format to win 8.1 and updated it full. After upgrading to win 10, right side of the monitor (up to down) there is too much heat and is untouchable cause of heat. Also, the hardisc and display card is making too much noise after upgrade to win 10. Is it normal? And what can I do?

Hi ebordon,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
I am sorry to hear your issue but let's try to isolate this. Hopefully will be able to boot your unit to Windows. Since this is a U.S. model, these steps are applicable to your unit.
Remove all peripherals -> look for a battery off button or pinhole on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds.
Reset BIOS.
Safe Mode.
If you're planning to roll back to the previous operating system, please visit this page: How to go back to a previous version of Windows after Windows 10 has been installed.
For other concern and for further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Hope these help.

Too much background noise!

i am making a video of a party for someone and i would go around asking people to say a message to the camera for the "birthday boy". Some people are old and did not speak very well so i have hope for their clips, but in general there is just too much background noise. i know nothing about audio filters so if someone can enlighten me as to which one(s) i should use i would be oh so grateful
-Josh

As also said in [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1181625&tstart=200]whe n it comes to sound you really need to get it right on set. I'm not being pessimistic, trying to remove BG noise will inevitably affect the entire audio, speakers voice will change, sound weird and applying filters could just make things worst!
However do have a go with an EQ filter to see by yourself. It is a non destructive action!
Also one thing you can do is make sure the volume doesn't exceed -6 db.

Garageband output on BT speaker? Too much latency, but iTunes plays fine

Hi all
I have a Creative D200 that I like to use to play iTunes music in my office.
Today I tought that I would like to play my electric guitar, since I am basically alone and can make as much noise I want (yay).
I am surprised to see thou, that iTunes play music without changing anything, while GarageBand does not .
I have a USB unit that is my interface for Midi, Guitar and other instruments (an Alesis IO2), I use it to record my guitar, or to just play games like Rocksmith, or record riff with Guitar rig. The unit works fine, no latency when I use the headphones connected to the unit.
Anyway; back to GB: I tried to play the guitar, and I can hear the iTunes music playing on the speaker, and the guitar play in my headphones connected to the IO2. I tried to change the output to D200 (the BT speaker), and I get the output, but the lag is so much that is impossible to play honestly.
Tired to look for a function to reduce the latency but there is none on GB.
Now, I understand that BT has too much delay, altho I don't understand why the output of anything on my computer is going trough the speaker with no latency at all (games, iTunes, system sounds), but neither GarageBand nor Guitar Rig are able to play (Guitar rig does not even give me output at all, Garageband give me the high latency). I tought that should not matter where the sound comes from, since everything is wired to the computer; so when the audio has to be sent to the bluetooth speaker, shouldn't matter if is the output of GB, GR or anything else.
Possible that is possible to decode a MP3 on teh fly and play it with 0 latency, while is not possible to output the processed signal of a guitar, in the same way, on a mac pro with 16 GB of ram and 12 core?

Hi Becca_hague,
Thanks for the post.
You will need at least 2MB to effectively run BT Vision. The real problem here is not your speed, its your connection constantly dropping out. If we can figure out why your connection is dropping and fix this, then your speed should recover by itself.
Your noise margin is not very high at all which is strange, as one of the main culprits of a dropping connection is noise interference. The fact you are already in the test socket rules out internal issues. It may well be that the router you are using is faulty. On the other hand this may not be the case.
I would like to run a few checks on the network side of things, to see if anything stands out as odd. Please drop me an email to the email address in my profile. (click on my name and you will find the address under the "about me" section). Include your BT account details and the link to this thread.
Cheers

MacPro n card in MBP weak signal...this a possible cause?

After adding a MacPro card to my MBP CD I was surprised to see a weak signal when using an n enabled network (AEBSn). I was also surprised to see that g performance and signal strength was weaker also.
I know I wasn't alone in wondering why, but I think I may have found out the cause. Everyone knows that the C2D MB and MBP uses a 3 antenna array on a Atheros chip...however, the MacPro, AppleTV and probably the iMac all use a 2 antenna connection Broadcom card. Why only 2 antenna? Well, I think (from what I have read) that the 2 antenna leads are actually coaxial cables with a antenna within a antenna...what I think is called a 2x2 antenna array, allowing for MIMO and the high n rated speeds.
Thoughts? This has been bugging me since I installed the card and I just could not understand why I would lose so much signal and gain so much noise. Curious to see what everyone else thinks.

Same.. ish..
had a DG834G.. all fine..
gave it to inlaws..
got a DG834N
Apple genius said coz the imacG5 is G connected all is G.. fair enough kinda guessed that.
So hard wired the G5.
MBP still drop to 2 bars then hangs.. never had this with G.
AppleTV is further away and is 4bars fine.
Put MBP where imac is.. 3 bars.. itunes 720p footage stutters where same clip on iMac running atG would stream fine.
Think the MBP wireless is pretty pants, fine for surfing..
What i didnt know, as speed of wireless gets faster.. ie file transfer.. range drops.. so I get hangs on file transfers.
Gonna drop the router back to G in the morning see if that sorts it.

My late 2009 iMac is running slow, particularly on Mail, more so since I upgraded to Yosemite. I have run an Etrecheck but it doesn't mean too much to me. If anyone can point me to what I need to do I'll be very grateful.

Thanks for all the replies.
I've now installed the ad blocker, thrown away the unwanted files, and thrown away a copy of Firefox that Adware said had a problematic extension.
Things are better, but still slow.
Activity Monitor shows that with just Mail, Chrome and Excel running, 2.9GB of my 4GB RAM is used. Opening InDesign (always slow) increase that to 3.2GB. But the graph stays green.
Console shows several potential problems but I don't know if any are significant. In any case I will call my Mac store tomorrow to ask their advice about RAM.

OS Lion Slow, is it too much for my MBP?

hi everyone-
I have a 2007 model MBP, 2.33 GHz Intel core 2 duo. I upgraded everything I could within the last year with a 500 gb internal hard drive and 4GB 667 MHz memory installed. Out of that 500GB hard drive, almost 290GB are available.
I upgraded to Lion and everything seemed to run well at first and was impressed with the speed. However recently everything has slowed down. I searched the forums and found tips on disk repair and repairing permissions, which ended up making the OS unable to boot at the startup screen. Thank god for time machine. Long story short, I pulled out my old Snow Leopard disk and reinstalled (yes I also tried the lion recovery, which didn't help), and then went and reinstalled lion from the app store. 1 weekend later and now Monday, I'm back to having everything running. However today I am noticing that the apps are lagging once again,and I'm constantly getting the beach ball and little gestures are taking forever to load. Could Lion be too much for my MBP, which up until recently flew?
Any and all suggestions will be helpful. I use my MBP everyday for my workload, so getting this to perform again and keep up with my demand is extremely important.
Thanks!

Check the SMART status in Disk Utility. Other than that, not that I know of. Perhaps more advanced disk utilities like Disk Warrior, but I don't know.
You would hear the disk making a lot of noise if it were having issues accessing a bad sector.
I had a drive that started causing slow-downs and beach balls for a while. Erased drive and reinstalled. Same thing. The SMART status in Disk Utility showed Verified up until the drive died completely.

Weak signal, too much noise.
