What is the popping/clicking sound in my voice recordings?

Hi All!
I just used my italk pro with the new 8gb nano. I recorded a lecture today, and when i played it back there are clicking/popping sounds every few seconds in my recording.
i have used this italk also with my 80gb ipod (which was stolen by one of my students) to record one of my choirs and on playback, we all heard the same clicking/popping noises.
someone in one of the threads on here suggested that it was the hard drive sound, but i have used the previous version of italk with a 2nd generation ipod, and, the hard drive sound is not a clicking/popping noise but kinda sounds like a computer booting up.
who else is having this same trouble? does anyone have an alternative suggestion? i would rather not use another external mic.
Thanks All!!!!:)

Yes, me and most other unibody MacBook owners have experienced this. The TrackPad also clicks, the other sound is the HD. All is fine. Please search the forums in the future. Here is a link to one other discussions about trackpad: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9093184&#9093184

  • Pop/clicking sound when in 5.1 mode under Vista 32bit using the latest 2_18_0004 drive

    I'm using S750 speaker system, very noticeable!!!!
    I tried 7. mode, still pop/clicking sound!!!!! But no in stereo mode!!!!
    It's long time for users that reported this issue, after Creative Labs released so many driver versions, this issue still not been
    corrected, it's really SHAME!!!!!
    Hope this get worked out in next release!!!!!!
    Hope this will never be heard in X-Fi 2 !!!!!!

    X-FI 2 is the same failure as X-FI IN drivers hardware xfi is great, so if you buy the new x-fi2 there will be the same crappy drivers as you use now.
    Anyway, Please post spec, Because this is a hard problem to solve many things can make the Sound to crackle.
    PSU = To low Watts for a system can make the soundcard crackle,
    =2, sharing power with other devices like hard drivers floppy drivers etc.
    = Not goot psu enough, bad quality psu can make this beli've me i had the same problem
    = Quality cables to the soundcard, use a different rail if that is possible.
    Bios = check for bios updates. even if there is none information about creative, sometimes it can help BUT READ INSTRUCTIONS on how to do it and what the stakes are if you do it wrong, and read the forums about the new bios, not allways new bios is good. IF you are a Asus user you should know why.
    GFX = Place the soundcard (PCI) away from the grphics card, if you got ex 4pci slots and gfx pci express use the last slot for soundcard, if that dosnt work try 3,2, etc. but futher away from the graphics card should prevent EMI
    X-FI= check the power slot in soundcard check for bendings etc.
    I had this issue fixed it with new psu, had no idea first but after my ASPIRE TRIO 520w cought fire and i changed it to Antec 620w it allmost dissapeard, then i checked the power slot in X-FI and it was bent outwards, after carefully bending it back the crackle dissapread.
    Now im using Cooler Master Real Power 850emba and using a different rail for the soundcard.
    Hope you solve it, best regards Commander

  • How Do I find the "Disable Click Sound" property in Captivate 7?

    My software simulation has very annoying click sounds from the mouse. I have seached the web and found a screenshot of an 'Options' section on the properties tab with a 'Disable Click Sound' checkbox, but my copy of Captivate 7 doesn't have that. What's up? There has to be a place to turn it off! Otherwise it's useless....the clicking drives everyone crazy.

    Select the mouse on the slide (or timeline) and deselect the Mouse Click Sound check box from the properties.

    Has anyone had this problem?

    in the future, buy this, this is what the Pros use:
    for drops, accidents, spills, loss, or theft, purchase a TYPE of insurance called "inland marine insurance"
    roughly $30 per year for a device(s) with 0 deductible, used same for over 20 years, same insurance the pros use on their portable devices.
    very cheap, very useful insurance, most people dont know about same.

  • How to get rid of the annoying clicking sound of an iPod Touch Keyboard

    I just got an iPod Touch and I love it but I have a small problem with it. I'm really annoyed by the cliking sound the keyboard makes when you type. It's even more annoying that you can hear it without the headphones.
    Is there anyway I can lower down the volume of the clicking? I'd really like some help with this.

    Go to Settings>General>Sound Effects. Click Off.
    As a note, this will remove all of the sounds effects on the iPod, not just the annoying clicking sound.

  • What does the "add more sounds" in app purchase cost in GarageBand?

    I ask because there is no indication of the cost when Apple asks for my ID and Password. In IOS completing that would mean I own it.
    Thanks

    if you open the Mac App Store app and find GarageBand the side bar under "Top In-App Purchases" says "Complete set of content $4.99" (US)

    The rough description of Preview Window trimming..
    a. double click clip in Project Assets to bring up Preview Window
    b. move Timeline indicator to beginning of section, hit Set In; move Timeline indictor to end of section, hit Set Out.
    c. next you can drag the segment from the Windows to the Timeline audio track and/or drag the segment from the Preview Window to Project Assets to become part of the project's media.
    The following should give you some thoughts on the above.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-project-assets-organization-for.html
    Although more from a video trimming perspective, the principles apply to an audio clip as well.
    Now "delete and close gap" can be interesting depending on what is around the area involved.
    Please check out the details on that in the following.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe-delete-and-close-gap-failures.html
    Not sure I am clear on
    The “delete and close gap” option in the edit menu does not work. Do I have to move the file to the Narration Track on the Timeline to do the actual trimming?
    You should be able to trim the narration in the Preview Window opened by right clicking the narration clip in Project Assets and then drag the segment to an audio track or narration track or dragging the trim to Project Assets for source media.
    Please check out the above and then let me know if you are OK with the information. If not, let me know where I need to clarify what I have written.
    Thanks.

  • Popping/clicking sound after update

    i've just updated with the recommended superdrive firmware 2.1, itunes 7.3, security update 2007-006 (universal) 1.0, mac os x update (intel) 10.4.10 and security update (quicktime 7.1.6) 1.0, and have now noticed a noice that sounds like a loud enough but dull thudding click/pop, more or less on the height of my charge cable socket, in the speaker on the lefthand side of my keyboard
    it is not rythmical and stops after 10 min or so, but starts again every so often and than dissappears again for a short time.
    changing the angle of the mbp doesn't make a difference...
    anyone with the same?
    does anyone know what it is and how to get rid?
    thanx

    I am not convinced this is an audio issue. I've turned off my external audio and turned down the internal speaker and the clicking persists.
    The "click" sounds mechanical and I am wondering if this is the internal drive? I have tried SMARTreporter and there are no problems reported.
    I am no longer hearing the "ping pong ball drop" sound as the internal drive thermally recalibrates. Have Apple changed how the drive calibrates itself during the latest updates?
    I work in a very quiet office and this is really beginning to grate!
    If this is a drive fault I'd rather get it sorted now rather than wait for it to fail mid-project.
    Any help will be most appreciated.

  • External speakers popping/clicking sounds on new 24" iMac 2,8 GHz

    Hello everyone,
    got a new iMac from Gravis in Germany and connected it via it's headphone jack to my external stereo amplifier and it emits clicking or popping sounds whenever I switch the light in my room on or off. I've used the same connection for my Windows PC and that is working fine - no pops or clicks. The problem also exists if the Mac is muted. I can not hear clicks or popping noises when I disconnect the external speakers and use the in-built ones.
    I brought my Mac back to Gravis and explained the problem and they replaced the audio board and cabling. No success. The popping and clicking is still there. Replacing the audio cable with a better shielded one does not fix the problem. Turning the power connectors of amplifier and/or Mac 180° does not help also.
    The problem seems to come from a bad shielding inside the Mac or the built-in power supply that is not capable of filtering the power surges.
    I've found some threads but I'm not sure whether or not these issues are related. Some people seem to think that these problems are software related.
    A workaround could be:
    1) getting an online USV that disconnects the Mac from the power cabling
    2) using the digital output (toslink)
    3) getting an external Firewire or USB sound device for sound output
    Neither of these three workarounds are options for me - I still want a fix for my Mac.
    Anyone here who has the same problems?
    vex

    Hi Elvinio,
    I'm trying to solve this problem by getting rid of the analog connection between Mac and stereo. I've ordered a digital 7.1 receiver for 250 Euro and a toslink cable for 20 Euro.
    Another solution would be an online UPS. That UPS disconnects the Mac from the direct power source and delivers "freshly generated" and "perfect" current without disturbances.
    I think that those pops are power surges that are not filtered by the Apple Mac's power supply. My ordinary Windows PC is not subject to clicking and popping sounds - so I suppose that either the power supply or the internal shielding of the Mac is crap.
    I hope that those ugly pops are gone when I establish the new connection...
    I will post the results of my not too cheap work-around.
    Regards

  • What is the pop-up page and how do you disable it?

    When I read through documents in Acrobat XI, a small, miniature version of the page pops up on the upper right hand corner. It is surrounded by a dark gray border with a white box inside that shows me where I am on the page, and the message "page X of Y" appearing at the bottom. What is this?  I searched the manual (the Help and Tutorials document) in vain to find out what this is, I've Googled it, Bing'ed it.  No dice. Hovering my cursor over the image does not reveal anything either.   What in the heck is this thing called, and how do I disable it? It is very distracting and not very useful.

    I am aware that you can turn it off by clicking on the "x" (which is barely visible).  However, this is only temporary. When I scroll down to the next page, the box pops up again. So I have to click if off on every page. What I am looking for is a way to completely disable this function so I don't have to deal with it to begin with. Thoughts?

  • How do I disable the volume clicking sound?

    I have been trying to disable the super-annoying sound that is played every time you change the volume using the Volume Up/Down keys (F11 and F12 on my MacBook Pro)
    I am running Windows 7 Pro SP1 with BootCamp v3.3 on a 32-bit Intel Core Duo P7550 2.26 GHz MacBook Pro (probably TMI, but figure it doesn't hurt)
    This is what I have tried:
    1. Windows Task Bar > BootCamp control Panel > Keyboard - according to other forums, there is supposed to be an option for disabling audio, but here the only option is to use all F1-F12 standard functions, which completely disables the volume up/down functionality.
    2. Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Change System Sounds - I have tried changing the sound scheme to no sounds, but the clicking sound still plays. 
    3. Control Pabel > Hardware and Sound > Playback > Select playback device (speakers) > Disable All Enhancements > Select Disable All Enhancements - according to some forums this was supposed to fix the problem but it did not.
    None of the above has worked.
    I sometimes need to play audio over a public PA system or for events and having the click sound is both annoying and, frankly, a bit embarassing.  I can't believe turning it off should be so difficult.
    Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

  • Where is the keyboard click sound located?

    Hi,
    I would like to change the sound the Mac plays when using keyboard click sounds. Any idea where the sound file is located? I figure I can just swap in a new one.
    Thanks,
    Allan

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ScreenReader.framework /Versions/A/Resources/Sounds/ as the folder's path after removing all spaces. Once this folder has appeared, play the different sounds and see if any of them is the one you want. If none of them are, repeat the above process with /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/ A/Frameworks/SpeechRecognition.framework/Versions/ A/Resources/SpeechFeedbackWindow.app/Contents/ Resources/ as the path, again removing all spaces.

  • What is the modem connecting sound from TC?

    When my mac has been asleep for a while, it takes forever to wake up and while I am doing this the TC makes a modem connecting sound. Any idea what this could be and if I need to return? All the other items using the wifi dont have a problem.

    No sound should come from the TC.. what model is it??
    Modem sounds are done on the old dial up type, is that what you mean by modem sounds??
    What model TC and what model Mac??
    Did  you just upgrade to Yosemite?
    If the other items don't have problems it sounds like the computer rather than the TC at fault.
