Weird "robot" noises in garageband playback

Hoping someone can help me.  Im recording some old albums to GB so I can put them on CD.  I have an ION profile LP USB turntable that hooks up to the computer.  Everything was going fine until I started seeing the audio viewer having these square shapes rather than the normal spikes it usually has.  Anyhow during playback as soon as i got to the square shapes in the viewer it started making these weird robot noises - no music - just this weird jumbled up robot noises - that's the only way I can describe it. 
I shut everything down and brought it all back up again and it was fine....for a while, then it did the same thing over again.  It will be fine for part of a song, then do that weird thing. 
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Rebecca

Also a hunch, but is there a driver that's required for using the turntable? If so, make sure it's the latest driver. You also might want to trash any GB preferences, as doing that sometimes helps strange problems. However, if it's an intermittent problem with the turntable itself, you may just need to turn it off and then back on every now and then (I've had that happen with another device).

  • Everytime my phone vibrates it makes this loud noise from inside that sounds like a weird cracking noise or something help!!

    Okay so I noticed a week or two ago that there was something lose on the inside of my iPhone 5s and ever since then when my phone vibrates sometimes there is this weird noise. It sounds almost like a cracking noise from the inside or a weird electrical noise. I think something is wrong with the vibrating part. Does anyone know if this is fixable or what it is?

  • LaserJet CP1025NW Color Printer - Weird cranking noise when printing or rotating carousel

    Just out the package today, the first time turning on the printer, during all print jobs and when rotating the cartridges, the carousel is making a weird cranking noise coming from the left side of the printer. I understand that this printer does make the winding/power-up sound, but this cranking noise is in addition to the normal sound. 
    I find this odd because I use the exact same printer at work and it does not make this noise and I am afraid that it is a faulty mechanism within the printer.
    I have checked to make sure that I removed all packaging from inside the printer and removed all cartridges and replaced them. I would think that all pieces that need to be removed would be bright orange. Also, the print jobs are not affected by the cranking noise. 
    Does anyone else have this problem? 

    Hi saidthegirl
    I understand the printer is noisy but will print.
    I have included the document for setting up the printer, to take a look at where all the packing material is located.

    If the printer is making unusual noise and you are using the toner that shipped with the printer then I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for further assistance to see what other options are available for you.

  • ITunes freezes when I connect my iPod/weird clicking noise

    Hi, recently I've tried connecting my iPod to my laptop and iTunes would freeze and task manager said it wasn't responding. In addition, when this happened, my iPod would make a weird clicking noise. I noticed this noise before when I had it on shuffle and would skip to a different song just after another song started. Does anyone know what's going on?

    Similar problem here:
    When I'm playing songs with iTunes and connecting my 3G 20GB iPod, my computer will hang up completely - screen goes dark and I have to reset my PC.
    However, when my iTunes is "idle", i.e. not playing a song or doing anything else, connecting and syncing the iPod will work just fine.
    I'm using the newest (6.x) Version of iTunes on WinXP SP2 with a 3G iPod 20GB.

  • Weird clicking noise on my MacBook Air! Please Help!

    Hello everyone, I have a 1 month old MacBookAir and I been having the same issue as many people with the weird clicking noise coming from the keyboard.
    I tried tapping it under the power buttom and it didnt't work, does anybody have any more ideas?
    Thanks so much for the help.

    Other users have claimed to have success with giving the laptop a swift smack on the bottom or on the side...  I am wondering if this problem is related to a loose audio cable with the internal speaker, resulting in a scrambled signal, producing surges in the speaker.   If the computer is under warrenty, you should take it in to have it looked at... If not,  You can open the  bottom case and check.

  • TS1382 my ipod classic is making weird ticking noises

    My ipod classic keeps turning on and off by itself, and is making weird ticking noises. What do I do!?

    The ticking noise is the sound of the hard drive being started up and the stopped. This is normal.
    What do you mean by "turning on and off by itself"? Do you mean the ticking noises (which is normal) or do you mean the display turns on and off, or do you mean the music turns on and off?

  • Macbook pro early 2011 freezes, slow, weird fan noise + trackpad jumping around

    Hi guys, see the Etrecheck report below. My 13' Macbook pro (early 2011) has been very slow for the last few months, the fan makes a weird blowing noise (several fellow students have looked around what the **** that noise was when it started doing it), and recently started freezing when opening iTunes, OpenOffice and even Firefox.
    OH AND my trackpad has jumping around without me even touching it.
    What do you guys think? What's the problem, what can I do? IF I take it in how much do you think it might cost?

    I did as you suggested and it it's definitely not freezing as much, though a little bit still. Thanks though!
    Trackpad is also still jumping around, but I figured that might have to be replaced anyways.
    Anything else you recommend that I could / should do?

  • Weird ringing noise when laptop is plugged into AC - HP ENVY 14-2050se Beats Edition Notebook PC

    Hi, last month I bought this HP ENVY 14-2050se Beats Edition Notebook from a nearby electronics store and I loved it from first sight. Except a few problems emerged when I first turned it on at home. First, yes I did a full hp recovery factory restore when I got home. It is running Windows 7 Home Premium and I already tried muting the microphone and speakers and it has not solved the problem whatsoever but it only shows up when I have my Envy plugged into AC power, on battery it makes no noises.
    The problem is that whenever it is plugged in it makes a weird ringing noise which is very clear and hearable to me and my friends and gives me headaches constantly. The noise is almost identicle to that ringing noise you get in your ears after hearing very loud noises. I tried using my mom's HP ac adapter on my Envy and it still produces the noise so its not the adapter itself im assuming. Also, sometimes when playing music or watching videos on youtube it will hang for a split second or so once every while and make a weird buzzing noise, im assuming that could be normal behavior though and im not as worried about that so much as my other problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, I just want to enjoy this great laptop!
    Sincerely, Lance Shults 

    Hi, you aren't the only one.
    I have a HP Envy, and I have this rining noise as well.
    it is odd.
    If I had to take a guess (I've been in IT for almost 17 years), I think it might be the power supply for some reason, in the laptop.  Not the external supply.
    Nearest I can say is it is a fast paced ring/ding.
    Is yours similar?

  • My laptop is making this weird cricket noise...what is the problem?

    My laptop has started making this weird crickety noise. The laptop works fine, but its just the noise that's a bit irritating. I have a 13" Mackbook Pro, that i just purchased recently in September. It's only been 4 months and the laptop hasnt been dropped or anyhting like that. I take really good care of it.

    The noise makers on a MBP are the fans, HDD or the Optical drive.  If it is the retina model, only the fans should produce a sound.
    Can you locate where the noise is coming from and advise what model MBP you have.
    Ciao.

  • Updated: Firewire audio recording on brand new iMac makes weird digital noise

    I am running Ableton Live 8 Suite on a 2011 Entry level iMac. i am using an Maudio Firewire 410 with a FireWire 400 to 800 cable. recently when i record audio (say from a guitar) the audio will cut out and be replaced by a wierd low freq digital noise. i uploaded a clip of it. its not just static. it will come in and out as i play.
    http://cl.ly/3f3R2H2z3H3K3F3z1P3d
    Things i have tried:
    -different guitars
    -Maudio FireWire Solo (different interface)
    -uninstalled and reinstalled the driver
    -Different firewire cable
    -turned off Bluetooth on computer and Bluetooth devices
    -turned off airport
    when i restart the interface or computer it works for about 5-10mins then cuts out again...
    but i still get normal audio through it (iTunes, internet, even Ableton)
    it seems to be isolted to just audio input. i had multiple tracks playing in Live. my input was working fine but when it punched in to record it morphed to the weird digital noise.
    i could record a single channel fine with nothing else playing but recording with multiple channels playing seems to "lock up" the audio though i am only using 25% CPU...
    is this something with my iMac or Lion? i changed out interfaces, cables, and drivers....thats the only thing i can think of…
    any thoughts from you smart people out there?

    ok so i tried a differnet cable and the same thing happened...

  • Nokia 6233 makes strange weird hissing noise

    Has anyone had a strange problem with the 6233 sound going all screwy. After a while, the sound on my phone just seems to go crazy and whenever it should be making a noise (like ringing, keypad tones, etc) it just hisses. When I receive any calls, neither the caller or me can hear each other, only the weird hissing noise is heard by both of us.
    The phone also tends to reset by itself now and then.
    I just got this phone last week and I have started getting these problems - and hence am very disappointed.
    Any ideas/help appreciated!

    Take it to a repair centre or return it to your retailer.

  • Macbook makes weird clicking noises

    i can't remember when this started, but randomly, my macbook will start to make weird clicking noises. it's not just when it's idle either, i'll be using it and it'll still make weird low "dddddddd" noises ><;; i don't think it's the fan b/c it's not the high pitched whirring...does anybody else have this problem???

    This clicking sound is specifically from the hard drive in MacBooks. The model of the hard drive in my MacBook is the FUJITSU MHV2080BHPL. I've had this click for well over a year and it only shows up when my hard drive is having to do a lot of thrashing for virtual memory purposes. I consider it entirely benign and merely a consequence of the hard drive head moving back and forth across the drive. It is very rare. Fujitsu drives historically are very reliable (as opposed to the Hitachi/Travelstar IBM drives which are historically a POS).
    Nevertheless! What is the first rule of computing? Quote after me: *'MAKE A BACKUP'*. There is no excuse for not making regular backups of your hard drive. If you don't, you get what you deserve. It's that simple. *All hard drives fail.* It's just a matter of when. These days hard drives are being made cheaply, with lower quality standards than in the past, therefore they fail much more readily. Even Seagate, which I considered the hold out quality hard drive maker on the market, have recently been putting out faulty drives. NEVER depend on your hard drive.

  • Imac Weird Clicking Noises

    My iMac is making weird clicking noises when i first open a browser and continues sporadically with kinda screeching sounds. Also at start up I get a blue screen now? Has anyone had these similar problems out there and what did you do to fix them?

    These clicking noises often come from the hard drive and may indicate that the hard drive is dying.
    First, make a backup of your data with Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner onto an external drive. Then, open Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities), choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar, and verify the disk. What does it say? Also, you can check the SMART status in Disk Utility, selecting the hard drive at the top of the sidebar and looking at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
    If it tells you that SMART has failed or that the disk is damaged, take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller to get the hard drive replaced

  • Hearing some weird buzzing noise

    I have a problem. For reason, after I wake up my MBP from sleep, it makes this really weird buzzing noise somewhere from the middle of the laptop. It sounds like something electrical is short circuiting or something. This isn't normal correct? Because if it is, it's really loud and super annoying. Has anyone else had this issue before? It's happening on my 15" MBP, Core 2 Duo, 2.16 GHz. I bought it from Apple store Stonestown, and it's not even 3 weeks old yet.
    Should I go see the genius? I don't think he's going to be able to hear the whine/buzz noise since it's always loud there..argh, what an annoyance.

    My MBB which is a 2.0 core duo I bought a year ago, has just started making a noise that comes from the same area. Its more like a fluttery buzz. Sounds something that is rotating rapidly and and slightly clipping something--like maybe something is misalligned. Not horribly loud, but very annoying. And it goes away when I turn the laptop completely upside down, which again makes me thing something is just loose. I have been traveling a lot lately and assume that just bumping through airport security etc. might be the problem.
    Is this something the apple store could possibly fix on site or does it sound like a drive replacement issue. Also, has anyone replaced a MATSHITADVD-R UJ-857 with a faster one? And if how much will that cost and what are pros and cons?
