My unit has developed a loud humming noise, any ideas what I can do to minimize this?

I think it is an internal problem, a bad ground, or a bad component. The first one I got had that problem, I called Amazon customer service and they replaced it, the second one has been ok. I didn't have much luck getting hold of anyone at Pyle.

I bought 2. One of them does it after it warms up. Turning it off and letting it cool fixes it temporarily.If it is under warranty, return it. If not, don't buy it again, get something else. I am getting a Crown 280 amp and a 28m mixer for my solution instead of two of the PT510s. It costs a lot more, but I hope it works longer.

interference of some kind or the speaker wires aren't connected correctly, or may be loose. I hooked ours up the way the amp I replaced was hooked up and the Pyle didn't work. Turned out to be much simpler. The second configuration I tried hummed and the sound was staticy. I think I have all 6 of our PAs combined to 1 set of wires and on one speaker connection and it has worked perfectly all summer. Hope that helps.

This should not happen if U R nor over loading the unit. The older 70 v amps were extremely well built with large coils, transformers, components & were almost bullet proof. This unit is very light & may not be able to perform as well. If still under guarantee Pyle may fix the problem for U. Hope that helps.

I did have noise on one speaker but found that the security system cable was run to close to the speaker cable. Separated and the problem cleared.

I've had best buy out twice now. The first time to replace all the screws in the back of the tv and that helped for about 1 week and the buzzing or humming sound came back. Best buy came today and replace one of the boards on the tv and i'm hoping this will fix the problem.

I had this humming/buzzing noise problem when I bought Samsung 21". The monitor started humming after it was on for 5 minutes. It was not loud, but annoying. I returned it to Costco. Don't know what problem that was.

I notice zero AC hum or any whine. I would use this again. I will pass on stay clear of tranmittion over AC wiring S/R units---I think Black Box was the one I used. It has a delay and gets hot.good luck

I get the same thing from a Vizio. You could probably get an in-line noise filter to fix that problem but the hum mine isn't loud enough to bother me so I haven't done much.

I hear no humming associated with this item. I have purchase two of them ( for home & Beach Condo) and have had no problems.

Sounds like it needs to be replaced. My subwoofer turned on just fine (little bit of a hum though).

I had the same problem, I had to move it, it was getting AC noise from the wall outlet, make sure all your power cords are away from it. (good luck)

We haven't experienced this issue. Ours it's nice and quiet. It may be a problem with the hook up our something.

I have several of the units and there is not a buzz noise only a hmmmm like a fan. I think something must be lose in your unit. I can put mine on silent and I don't hear it at all...try that....if its still buzzing then something is wrong. They are great units.

Yes Amy, the unit makes a low humming sound with a slight vibration when in use. Make sure you use a little bit of liquid soap or jewelry cleaner in with the water.

That's kind of what I had. But it wasn't a steady buzz - more like a loud 60 Hz humm. I even tried to move it as far from the TV as I could. I was thinking there was some sort of interference, and separation might help. But no. Amazon is great about returns. This is first time I had a problem with a purchase.

Yes- It's probably normal not a defect. I've had similar appliances in the past and they all make a hum.

Mine also hums but just when setting there, as soon as I turn on the radio on the humming quits. It did hum one time and all I had to do was turn off then back on.

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

Try this: disconnect the coax from your cable box. If the Direct TV speaker hum goes away, this isolator should solve your problem.

Whenever you get that dreaded hum, be sure to check your ground connections.Could be something as simple as trying out a new instrument cable.I've even had some brand new cables with an open ground.You may have to re-solder the ends.
