Z1 strange ticking sound

My z1 makes this strange ticking sound when I tap it on certain places on its body. The best way I can think of to describe it is that something is maybe a bit loose inside, as if the body isnt completely unified.
Has anyone else Xperienced this, or should I get it replaced?
Solved!

I'm unable to recreate this sound by tapping/pressing on several Xperia Z1. So my suggestion is that you contact a service center and/or your local support team to get information about how you should proceed in this case:

Strange pop sound while playing music on 5320XM

I hear a strange pop or tick sound when I play music on my 5320 XM another user had the same problem he was advised to update his firmware.
/discussions/board/message?board.id=phones&message.id=46209&query.id=267441#M46209
but he didn't mention whether the problem was solved or not
anyone else experiencing the same problem of tick sound
and was your problem solved
thanks in advance

....dont know much about software/firmware versions and stuff, but i found out some temporary solutions: adjust de volume to a level where this pop sounds dissapear, turn off loudness and stereo widening in the audio settings menu and finally try to play music in the offline profile (perhaps the most effective...does this mean that the pop sounds are due to some kind of interference???)
hope this helps
and please PLEASE someone help me with this one:
im having troubles with the 3.5 mm socket, I used it with a external device,(with the lineout option) it worked ok, but when i used the headphones later i get sound from the left side only, I tried everything but I cant fix it
if someone knows of something please give some advice
cant take it back to the store cause the garanty expired

Strange Ticking from Drive/DVD

There is currently a strange ticking noise that comes from the space between my DVD drive and my track pad. It is distinctly different from the sound that comes from the DVD drive when the computer wakes from sleep or the little sounds it makes when it is logging in and turning on.
It makes this noise when loading a processor intensive program such as Photoshop or when logging in. It is very loud and persists for a several seconds. The computer runs much slower and a lot of programs are crashing more often.

New iMac20, strange clicking sound

Hi,
I have had my iMac 20" MB324RS/A for about 2 week, and from first day I have strange clicking sound like a clock "tick-tock" with 2-3 sec frequency. There is no dependence between this noise and CPU/HDD/CD load etc.
I now, somebody have a troubles like this, but only when display sleepeng. My iMac have this clicking every time after "Power On" regardless of OS was loading or not.
Sorry for my English

Well... looks like any 5400rpm drive produces such a clicking sound, even though I've never heard it on a 15" PB 1.5 Ghz et al.. The new Hitachi HD isn't as bad as the other one (Toshiba), yet the sound is still very noticeable.
Guess I got to get used to it. On the Titanium PB, the fan kicks in when charging the battery for about 15 min, so a PB 12" with a clicking HD might not that bad.
Traded a yet jet engine for a movie projector, he he he.
The display doesn't look quite as good the TiBook's and it's got a fairly poor viewing angle, yet I knew that already. Besides that, you got to love the 12" PowerBook!!! There's a significant speed increase (1.5 Ghz 1.25 GB Ram, bigger, faster HD vs. 867 Mhz, 768 MB Ram) and - thanks to DesktopManager - the smaller screen is very usable for most tasks. It's much more portable than the 15" and the best of all, all my third party (PowerPC) menu items, preference panes, Latex installation, applications work perfectly. Cloned the TiBook HD and I was up and running within 2 h, thats how long it takes to copy 40GB via FW 400.
Let Apple roll out some great Intel machines and software developers universalize their apps. In the meantime, I'm carrying around a cute little PB. Buying a PowerPC Mac today is a reasonably choice, if you're like me and need to support a bunch of Macs around you. Software reliability is another key point. Joe Average might be tempted to get a fast Macbook though.
Who knows, maybe Apple comes up with a 12" PB replacement tomorrow, which is so good, I'll be kicking myself he he he. Wish list: HD screen (without any strange lines, of course), back-lit keyboard, thinner and lighter, Core Duo.

K8 N2 PLATINUM STRANGE TICKING NOISE AT START UP

Hi
Yesterday I found out that my system fan is not working. I replaced it with no problem.
But the computer started to give a strange ticking noise at the start up following the memory test before IDE detection.
It is ticking for a few seconds and continues without any error message.
I have checked the bios, and realized that the bios screen is slightly flickering.
When I started the "core center" in the windows the indicated CPU speed was 200 X 5 ( 1000 ) but it should be 200 X 11, ( the bios setting is correct ) After a few tries it came back to 200 X 11.
I have to underline that everything works perfectly, but I surely have some paranoid tendencies ???
Can this be a board problem? I don't know if this ticking noise is an error message, I was unable to find it in the manual.
Thanks for your help.
MSI K8N2 PLA. BOARD, AMD 3500+, 2 GIG RAM ( 4 X 512 Dual DDR ), 80 GIG SATA SEAGATE HD, TAGAN 500 WATT power supply, 6600 GT display card, audigy 2zs sound card.

is there a key stuck on you keyboard. I know when I go into bios i hold down the DEL key until i hear 'clicking' from the mobo speaker. is the ticking fast and repetitive?
try unpluggin the keyboard and see if still makes the noise.
worth a shot.

How to retrieve data from a ticking sound HD?

Hey Folks.
Here's how's it all started: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8353054#8353054 I turned on my computer 3 weeks ago and saw a folder with a ? mark.
So I took it in the Apple store and the HD got replaced, now the data on the old hard disk is with the tech guys trying to retreieve the data off of it. But when I spoke to him yesterday he told me there is a slim chance to retrieve the data <edited by host>.
So I'm asking you gurus is it likely to retreieve the data from a ticking sound HD? I really need the stuff I had on my old hard disk there are so many photos of me travelling the world and just so much memories, it would really be a disaster if I lose all of that
To make my story even worse, when I backed up all my images on my external hard drive, I was flying back from Canada to Dubai, and I had my luggage stolen with my hard disk and 2 blackberry bolds, so Im really out of luck
PLZ HELP!
Thanks.

A couple days ago I contacted DriveSavers.com and she quoted me the following;
-SERVICE OPTIONS AND PRICING
Our pricing is based on the drive capacity, the operating system and
turnaround time. The final cost is based on the complexity of the
recovery and the final recovery results.
The data recovery estimate for the 120GB Hard Drive you described is:
• Standard Service (1-2 business days): $900-3900 (successful
recovery will fall between $2800 - $3900)
$200 attempt fee if the data is unrecoverable
• Economy Service (5-7 business days): $500-2700 (successful recovery
will fall between $1800 - $2700)
$200 attempt fee if the data is unrecoverable
• Priority Service (24 hrs. / 7 days a week): $1800-8900 (successful
recovery will fall between $7900 - $8900)
$800 attempt fee if the data is unrecoverable
Please Note: DriveSavers will never exceed the amount quoted.
That's nuts. Im ganna try my luck with DRD.ae in Dubai and see how much they charge, let me give them a call now and will post a comment in a bit.

Mac Mini(Late 2014) - Tick Sound

Hello Apple User's. I just purchased a new Mac Mini late 2014 a month back. I had no problems initially after setting up my mac for the first time. I'm Currently working with Apple as a Technical Support Advisor in level 1. I was doing R&D on my mac and happened to corrupt the OS. Hence did IR and Re-installed the OS.I hear these tick noises only after re-installing OS. Hence I'm pretty sure the OS build which I got by default with mac was the best compatible OS. Now after doing IR I have 10.10.1 with a different build. I'm 100% sure it has to do with the build of my OS. Anyways I'm trying to find a solution for the same. Hence I would suggest all the Apple fans to keep an eye on this section.
Message was edited by: KARTHIK_SPARTA

Well I'm sorry for the late reply. But I'm back with a Solution for the "Tick Sounds" on the Mac's. After researching carefully, I happened to learn that , the Tick noise in SSD HD is because of the Head Parking of the pointer on the HD. Hence in order to get rid of the Tick sound, I would suggest all , to turn off/Disable the option "Put hard disk to sleep whenever possible" in Energy Saver section of System Preferences. Thus when the system is idling or in use (awake), you don't get to hear the Tick Sound's. Well after careful observation for almost a month now, I hardly get to hear the Tick Sound once in a day or so.
In Energy Saver "Put HD to sleep whenever possible" is more useful to portables like, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air , since it will consume less battery, and thus enhance the battery life but not for machines like iMac/Mac Mini.
Also some people have installed some 3rd party utilities like Hard Disk Advanced Power Management (HDAPM) to minimise the head parking or reduce the Tick Sound. I would personally not suggest to go for it, since it will change the default behaviour of the HD set by the manufacturer and may corrupt the HD and it may eventually fail. But if you would really like to give it a try, go for HD SPY utility in Mac Appstore , since Apple would have released the utility after taking due consideration in the Appstore.
And for tbirdvet, thank's for the response. I will have to read more about the mechanism on how the Fusion Drive work's and then take a call on it.
Nevertheless I would appreciate if anyone comes out with a different solution for the Tick Sounds from the HD.

Lenovo G50-70 HDD Ticking Sound

Hi I bought my laptop last august, now its HDD makes ticking sound when idle but it is fully functional. That sound is very annoying .

Hi Stchoy903,
Welcome to the Forums.
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with unable to detect external HDD and DVD ROM in your Lenovo G50-70 laptop.
Check any other USB devices like pen drive, or your mobile through USB cable and check if the devices are detected? If yes then it might be issue with the external HDD and DVD rom, also check this devices in other USB ports as well.
Boot the system into and check if the USB ports are enabled, if disabled enable it. Also boot the system into safe mode and check for the issue.
Best regards,
Ashwin. S

Strange clicking sound on my Lumia 930 arround the...

When my camera is not activated, if I mildly shake my Lumia 930 I can hear a strange clicking sound on the upper part of the device, just arround the camera lense. Can it be the lenses just shaking, because when the camera is activated that sound disappears.

Hi, Tomislav5. Welcome to Microsoft Mobile Community. How long have you been noticing this issue? Did you change any settings on the device that may cause this to happen? Make sure that the system apps on the device are all updated. You may check it by going to Store > ... > settings > check for updates. You may also try rebooting your phone by pressing and holding the volume down and the power keys at the same for 10-15 seconds and see if it makes any difference. you may need to set the date and the time after this operation. We'll wait for your response.

My macbook pro makes every 3 seconds a ticking sound

Hello everybody
i've bought my macbook pro 3 months ago and he is making all the time a ticking sound. sometimes it's quiet but sometimes it's also very loud. it comes from the left side of my mac and i think it's a fan. could somebody help me please??
thank you
Quentin

The fans on the MacBook are located approximately under the top left and right corners of the keyboard, and vent out the back of the system. When you hear the ticking, try moving your ear to the back hinge of the system and see if it's more notable there. Additionally, check to see if you can feel any venting happening. It may be that you have a broken fan that needs replacing.
Is the ticking a bit random, or does it happen at regular 3-second intervals? Additionally, does it happen if you boot the system to Safe Mode (hold the Shift key at startup), or in the OS X Recovery mode (hold the Command-R keys at startup)?

Hard to tell from here. This would be a first.
How is the camera connected and is it or anything else touching your keyboard?

Ticking sound in sync with cooling fan

I just started hearing a ticking sound in sync with the frequency of the cooling fan speed. I'm guessing it's a bearing going bad in the cooling fan but that sounds like the diagnosis on a car engine. Anybody have any experience with this?

You could, but it would probibly get better results if you measured the output of an audio amplifer that is being driven by the microhone. The problem is that microphones tend to be pretty low-level devices so reading them directly could cause noise problems.
In terms of an amp, unless you are particularly concerned about amplitudes, any cheap thing you could pick up at radio shack would work.

Macbook pro making strange click sound

Hi.
I have a macbook pro from 2008 running os x 10.6.8 and it has recently started making a strange zapping sound from the speakers. I've searched the forum for answers but nothing seems to quite fit the bill. It seems to happen when I'm running safari although I haven't done a thorough check with which programs it does it. Also when I plug in my apogee duet interface it still makes the noise from my external speakers. I've done a check on the hard drive and it came out green so fingers crossed it's not that.
I'm not sure if it's consequential or not but I use logic a lot and I'm prone to using a lot of plugins son I'm used to the 'system too slow message' but now, often when the computer can't process it and it give me that message it comes with a loud pop aswell, something that never used to happen and I'm sure is not doing any good to my speakers. Sometimes the pop repeats intermittently until I play audio.
Please any help would be great, I've very worried as my beloved computer is getting old now and I can't afford a new one.
Thank you.

You didn't get a new battery? No way, was I going to leave the repair shop w/o a new battery to replace the expanding one.
What did the AS say about the sounds you are hearing from your MBP? Was diagnostics done? If not, you need to get a second opinion from another AS or an AASP. There is nothing anyone here can add. Your MBP needs to be physically examined fully.

WD Passport Elite making a "ticking" sound, OS freezes until HD unplugged

Hi!
I've just got a WD Passport Elite 320GB USB2.0 external HD.
It almost works fine.
I've run into some weird problems:
- I left my MBP over night (backing up) and when I came back the HD just made a repeating ticking sound. When I opened the HD volume from the desktop no files showed up, Finder freezed, Cmd-Alt-Esc didn't work. Everything came back when I physially unplugged the HD. (Although the backup did succeed.)
- When I go into Time Machine it sometimes hangs too. Same thing - I have to unplug the HD.
(- I had a lot of problem with Time Machine before I found out it doesn't support Master Boot Record-HDs. You'd think TM would warn you :/ Anyhow, I reset the Spotlight db. Maybe it's related.)
Has anyone had any similar experiences?
Could it be that the power-supply via USB isn't enough? (How can I check that?)
The HD has 2 x HFS+ journaled partitions, GUID table.
I'm using the left USB port on the MBP. I've tried unchecking "Put hard drives to sleep when possible". I haven't had that much time to test it yet though. I'm gonna take this HD on the road in a while, we'll see how it handles I guess.
**** I remember the good old days when uptime used to say something like 24 days.. I guess those days are gone.. sigh

Hmm, that is interesting that he usb ports are different - are you saying they have different power outputs?
I also have the Passport, and it connects and runs no problem on my MacBook Pro. But if I connect it to my older Powerbook, it just clicks and does not mount. Another Passport I had did exactly the same thing. Not sure what usb I was using though.
I would love to know more about this if there is any more info available.

Weird ticking sound when adjusting the volume...

Hi all
When adjusting the volume using the F3 F4, my new ibook 12" g4 makes a weird ticking sound before it catches up an adjusts the volume with the normal "blop" sound. Is this normal? Batteri is on "normal."
Thanks
Erlend

I have this same problem with my new 1.33Ghz iBook G4. I've had the logic board replaced twice and the top assembly with the speakers replaced twice also. It still makes the ticking noise and it's quite specific to reproduce so none of the Apple tech have spent the time to reproduce it. I think this problem is more wide spread than Apple realizes.
Here are the factors that HAVE to exist for this problem to be reproduced:
1. The computer must be have the AC adapter unplugged and running off of the battery.
2. Un-click "Play feedback when volume is changed" in System Preferences under "Sound" (While this is not exclusive to having the "ticking audio" problem occur, it is easier to notice with this box unchecked)
3. 10.4.2 or 10.4.3 (even happens on a fresh install)
4. Push the F4 and F5 keys to change the volume for at least 10-20 seconds and the "ticking sound" will occur. (the lagging after the tick is most annoying.)
Launching iTunes and playing audio will temporarily make this problem subside. Once this problem occurs with "Play feedback when volume is changed" unchecked, it will continue until audio is played or the sound preference panel is accessed. Often the sound balance will be 100% to the left after this problem has started occuring. (Checking the Sound preference panel shows this)
Has anyone had this problem fixed permanently? Apple seems to be unaware of this problem. 10.4.4 could fix it. Unfortunately we are not even sure if this is a hardware problem or a software issue. I will post with details of what happens when I bring my machine in to the Apple store for the 4th or 5th time.
