I have had this speaker since March, and it has worked well. Now it flashes and makes 3 or 4 high-pitched noises, breaking into whatever is being listened to. It is fully charged, and I have tried plugging/unplugging the USB cord. Any ideas of how to fix?

Hi, Have you given it a good charge? If this is not the issue you could contact the company, I found them extremely helpful and eager to help their customers.

I have not had this problem. Sounds like may have defect. I have used mine while it was charging and using blue tooth connection.

Mine did this at high volume. I figured out the problem was an unconnected pair of speaker wires in another part of the house that had the bare ends touching. I clipped the ends of those wires down to the casing and now I can crank it up.

I haven't tried what you've tried-taking it apart. I just clean it with water, but I haven't taken it apart. At least yours makes a noise! It seems to me like the sound gets weaker and weaker until the thing stops working. I was surprised mine actually turned on today on the first attempt.

Let me ask, do you have it on the charger? Because if you do, it will not play the flash drive. Just as a suggestion, return it while you can because it is very hard to navigate your music files and then mine simply got stuck on one song and wouldn't play anything else. Needless to say, I trashed it about a month after I got it.

OK!........4 or All of mine are making sequel and crackling sounds when a phone call comes in. I was told to unplug the charger and let it set for 15 minutes and then plug them back in. They are still making large crackling sounds and squeals! Now what should I do because I purchase the 6 set through amazon. The one out in the shop I doubt is a problem so I'm not worried about #6! Up until last week everything was great. Now I'm having problems and I put in new rechargeable batteries but I still get the screeching and scratching noises! Bruce HartogWildwood, FL 34785

I haven't had any trouble with mine slowing down had it since July. Recently though the speaker has given out on it. It sounds blown I haven't had a chance to investigate the warranty yet, but it doesn't really bother me as I usually have it plugged into my car stereo or headphones.

Yeah it sounds defective. I would suggest calling Amazon to see if you can get an exchange.

hi-- yeah, I am seeing this as well, but I was able to press the "speaker" button and the sound comes back. it's really kind of frustrating, I am trying to figure out what to do about it as well.

I've read other reviewers comments about exactly that, a high pitched whine like a camera flash charging up. All I can say is the one I got is perfectly silent. I keep it on my nightstand and have never heard anything.

Hi, Cyril! My charging cradle quit shortly after I got the Mint. I've had no annoying sounds. Did you try plugging the charger cord directly into the Mint to see if it still makes the sound?

I haven't had that issue. It sounds like you have a faulty adapter. I would try to RMA it.

Hi Stacey! I relly can not imagine what could have happened with this unit. Mine works fine, good sound. I owned one for over a year and no problem so far.

Mine did the same thing in Bluetooth mode. I have been using it for 2 weeks now plugged directly in and it hasn't done it yet. I'm also working with Sharkk via emails to see if they have a solution. I hope they do because I love this little speaker!
