Weird sounds in headphones

Hi,
Not sure where to post this question.
I just bought a new pair of headphones (Sony MDR-V6) for video editing. When I plugged them in, the first thing I noticed was an only slightly audible sound that I would describe as about like a high-pitched static-y (what's the adjective for static-filled?) heartbeat that comes through on the right channel. It is always there, and changes depending on what the computer is doing. It's almost like power going to the electronics inside is leaking into the audio channel somehow. I have no idea what it is or how to get rid of it. I've tried other headphones and I can still hear it. The volume of the "heartbeat" is the same regardless of the volume I set on the mac, even if I mute it.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi mattvest-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards. Try the headphones with all external drives off and disconnected.

High beep + bass makes weird sound, Inspire P580

Hello,
I switched rooms today. And now when I turn on the 5.1 using the audio controller, I get a very high beep. Before, the beep wasn't this loud. And also when I turn up the bass, it makes a very weird sound. I check everthing, everything is plugged in correctly but I don't know what to do. I know it's not the software.
Hopefully somebody can help me.
Thanks by advance
Jascha

I have a GigaWorks S750, today i turned on the speaker to listen to my computer, i started the music and i only hear big distortion, i turned of the music and found out that the speakers putting out a frequent beeb, and as i turn up the volume i get a tone of higher and higher frequency beep but not a louder beep, the subwoofer just makes some short noises sometimes.. and i have checked all the cables and they are ok.. i listened directly from my soundcard with my headphones and it sounded ok, i also tried my headphones by putting them into the headphone port on the decoder and it sounded as it should there two
i am almost sure this has something to do with the electronics in the subwoofer to do, cause i dont belei've 7 speakers would stop working at the same time.
This is so bad, i had just gotten my Xbox360 today and now i cant use it on my suround system.

Weird sound from laptop (GP60)

Hey, guys! I have a question about my laptop that I'm hoping one of you might be able to answer.
So I have a GP60 laptop that I bought manufacturer-refurbished. So far, I love this laptop! I'm glad that I can actually do some form of gaming again! But I have a slight hiccup with this computer that kind of concerns me.
Occasionally, my computer will emit a weird noise. It's very brief, lasting maybe half a second, but it sounds like the weird electronic noise out of Slenderman. Even when I have my headphones plugged in, it will still make the noise outside of them. I don't think its a motherboard issue-- my last computer actually did have a problem similar to this and it really was the motherboard, but the sound and manifestation of this is a bit different. I've opened up my task manager and watched it while I'm doing stuff, and I've noticed a pattern of sorts.
It will only occur under one of two-ish conditions:
- If I'm either streaming/playing music [mostly when I'm either using Pandora, Spotify, or the windows music app (NOT WMP)].
- If I'm playing a taxing game (I play minecraft quite a bit though and it's rarely happened then. However, I was playing SWTOR to test my theory and it started doing it again)
It may have happened once or twice outside of those circumstances, but I don't really remember. Also, each weird sound is accompanied by a spike in my CPU processing. It'll spike to anywhere in the 75-100% usage range. I haven't really noticed any drop in performance per se, but I'm just concerned that this could be a sign of a bigger problem. I was very hesitant to get a refurb, and I'm concerned that this could be the start of my worst dream come true. I have two theories: it could either be the motherboard (again, wah) or maybe my sound driver... but I have no clue to be honest with you. I would appreciate any ideas/help that could be offered!
Specs:
MSi GP60
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Intel core i5-4200M
Nvida GeForce GT 740M/2GB DDR3
SoundBlaster Cinema/AudioBoost
Memory: DDRIII (L) 8GB
HDD: 750 GB

I guess it's the electrical interference from CPU too, when it switches the state.
If you're not using Bluetooth or WiFi, disable them as well to see if this improves.

For 1/11/11 expert day: can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers

HP Pavilion dv6135nr Notebook internal speakers have stopped working. I can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers. A search on HP customer care for my notebook yielded the download recommendation below, even though I had not stated my problem. However, executing this download did NOT resolve the problem. Please advise regarding resolution to inoperable speakers. I do not know if all of my sound and audio settings are correct, but the mute is not on and the volume controls are properly set. The default device is Conexant High Definition Audio output, per the sound and audio devices properties hardware tab the device status states "this device is working properly." Is it possible that a Skype or Foxfire update is in conflict with this device? If so, how do I resolve this situation?
Thank you.

Re: Fixes issue where the notebook speakers do not work after headphones or earphones are used for a while and then unplugged.
HOW DO YOU FIX THIS?? I cannot find the correct Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio that works with my computer...
My computer:
VISTA
HP Compaq 2230s Notebook PC
Everytime I use my headphones for more than an hour or two, the **bleep** audio will not play on my notebook's speakers, just through the headphones. Usually restarting a few times resolves the problem, but not this time. If I knew that HP computers sucked this much I would never have spent so much money on this one!!!
Can you please tell me how to fix this problem once and for all? Thanks!!

macbook pro mid2012 i7 (here is my e-mail adress : [email protected])

You should take it to an Apple store or an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) Carefully inspect the hinge joint and make sure there is no debris that you can see, you can try carefully sliding some sticky tape thru the joint to clear any loose stuff out. But this sounds like there might be more going on here, and the hinge is something that you do not want to fool with.

My macbook pro is making a weird sound, please help?

Hello,
i have an early 2011 model, it was running soo fine until now.
its making a weird sound, to describe, it sounds like a small *trrr* at normal state, and at high, intense states, (playing games..) it turns into a loud *trrrrrr*, but, if i hit it gently over the keyboard, it goes away, then comes back.
please, i dont have an apple retail store in my country, i need help from here, help me.

first thing to do is to buy a new hard drive and an external drive before it fails so you won't lose your files.
once you've done that, put the new hard drive in the external drive and open disk utility.
format/erase your new hard drive as MAC OS EXTENDED Journaled.
After that has been done, open carbon copy (if you don't have it, you can download it for free).
Once carbon copy is open, click on clone your hard drive. Source drive is what you're using now and your target drive is your new hard drive.
Once carbon copy is done, turn off your macbook, open the back of your macbook, take off the hard drive and install your new hard drive.
After you've done all those, turn your macbook back on and you're back in business.

Low and unclear sound from headphone HP Pavilion G6 2228tu

laptop hp pavillion g6 2228TU OS windows 8 pro 64 bit
every thing was working fine.. but from last 2-3 days i faced a problem of low and cracking sound from headphone ..
laptop speraker are working fine .. but when I connect headphone to audio port .. sounds comes out to be very low and unclear.
I tried headphone with my desktop and mobile but it was working fine.
I called HP custmor support.. they gave a link of sound driver.. i updated sound driver but no solution comes out..

Hello Deepak-Kumar,
You’re having a problem with the sound not be very loud.
Go to device manager and uninstall the IDT audio.
Do not restart the computer.
Now install the updated sound driver.
Since it has not been to long since the problem started, you can run a system restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Powerbook "turns on" no display, weird sound?

My G4 will not start. The familiar chime comes on when I press the power button, and it sounds like it will start. However, no video shows up and no hard drive activity seems to be happening. When I held down the power button and shift key together, the little lid-button light blinked a bunch of times, and a weird sound happened (sort of a low beep)
Any ideas?

How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S?

Go to Settings-Sounds-Text Tone and change to None. You're referring to the sound when posting a message to someone else, correct? The only issue is if you set to none, you will not hear the incoming either.

Running latest Audition CC on Yosemite. Audio track is displaying, I can see the levels as I scrub but NO sound to headphones. WHY?

Hi,
I am Running latest Audition CC on a 2009 MacPro running the latest Yosemite. I can see that the audio Audio track is displaying, I can see the level rise and fall as I scrub but I can hear NO sound to headphones. WHY?
I have checked the MacPro's system preferences and clicked through the Audition settings but I can't see where the output to device ( headphones) might be muted. What am I missing?
Thanks

When I started up my macbook Pro after a boat trip (just lying in my bag the whole time) it started making weird sounds. Why does it do that and how do I stop it?

The 13" retina MBP has two fans, left and right near the hinge and about 2.5" each from the edges of the case.
My conjecture is that one of the fans may be failing. An appointment at an Apple store genius bar is the best option. The evaluation will be FREE and a fan replacement (if that is the problem) should not break the bank account.
You might run an Apple Hardware Test:

This may confirm my suspicion or perhaps find a different problem. Note that an error free result should not be viewed as being definitive.
Ciao.

Hi Try and describe the sound. Is it a clicking sound? Buzzing, or whirring sound? Does it seem like your Macbook Pro is running a little hotter?
