Hello, just wondering if there is a still a noise problem (I've seen rumors on other sites/reviews/etc)? Thank you!

I have had my Sony Vaio since early March and is very quiet, much quieter than other laptops I've owned and used.

All sound issues I was having with this laptop were fixed when I installed the latest windows sound drivers. I got them directly from microsofta website. After that I had no issues at all.

Hi there, Like I answered another question before. I bought this for a friend of mine and I will take it to him when I go back to my country for a vacation. So, i just received it, checked it first, everything was just perfect. Didn't see a problem. And then packed it back up. Never used it again. Thanks

There hasn't been any noise issue with the one I purchased. Everything has been great so far.

I have been very pleased with my purchase. There is no loud noise when running. Maybe you should exchange.That doesn't sound normal.

Mine is probably a dud because it has a piercing noise. It is very clear and particular and I haven't heard any other people commenting about it so mine must be the odd one. The piercing noise turns into an 11 from that scale 1-10 but this seems to be my only case.

I never had that issue. The background noise is with NC off, as every noise cancelling headsets. Everything looks fine to me so far...

I notice very little noise, if any when walking around. Microphonics is an issue though, under abnormal circumstances. Running or fumbling around for something in your pockets for instance. Personally, I've never been annoyed by or have noticed this particular issue under normal circumstances.

I seem to have the same problem. There is a faint buzzing/hissing noise (coming from the lens area) whenever the camera is on, and while filming video this noise is magnified many times. What I'm wondering is whether this is just a standard problem, or whether there is a subset of these cameras that make the buzzing noise, or whether there is anything we are doing "wrong". Edit: Well, after some more testing and looking at video taken with this camera posted on youtube (there are plenty), it seems like this is normal. Slightly annoying, but I don't think it's noticeable when you are filming outdoors. Anyway, I'm stil happy with this camera as it has an amazing combination of features, and I can really find no other faults with it. The 720P video quality is as good as or better than I would expect, and the sound seems great as well (aside from the buzzing).

No problems what so ever with audio. It just may be a glitch. It happens. Good luck!

I have not noticed any noise. I would just check the count every now then to ensure you have it in a good spot.

Hate to say sounds like something wrong. I get the idea. Mine isn't that loud, but there is like an air noise, but doesn't seem to be a bad noise. Or hum, like some I've heard. Mine is more just the "perk" noise.Did you buy it from here. How often used? I'd contact Hamilton beach and ask. Since Amazon is merely the holder, Beach should know more the personality of unit.

My machine has developed the same noise. The old machine I had also had a rubbing noise at the flywheel. I have used this machine heavily for the last six months.It still runs fine. I use music to mask the noise. Its not noticable.

We've had ours for just over a year and never had the shaking noise issue. I had read that in a comment before buying but it seemed to be an anomaly. Ours has been great.

Have had no noise with our unit. Very quiet.... but try it and if does not stop, send back. Hope this helps

No I have not heard it, mine is silent, though I have yet to use it for long periods. I don't think it's normal, but if it still does what it says on the pack it's ok.If it's not broken don't fix it!

I contacted Sony, there were no reports of problems with sound!???? So I pointed out that there were many people having issues, but the only recourse is to send it in under warranty to see if they can fix it - even though it's a design issue, in my opinion.

Mark, thanks for taking the time for response. Your comments put the issue of the fan noise into perspective, and ultimately put the decision to purchase, or keep, up to the consumer. Enjoy your football! Bob

I purchased an XBR4 46" the last week of December. It had a fan noise or hum right out of the box. I have it on a table, so there are no enclosure issues here. I also have it plugged into its own outlet and not a power strip with other devices. The noise is very irritating especially since I know other people that own the XBR sets and they are dead silent. I returned to Amazon. It was painless. My new set was just delivered this past week and it is every bit a noisy as my first one. I love the picture but hate the noise. I also don't think the noise is normal or acceptable. I will contact Amazon this week to see what they are willing to do. I purchased an XBR4 46" the last week of December.
