Thank you very much! I turn off one of my lamps, then the buzz stopped. Saved me! I am alll happy now.

Mine just started buzzing. I have cfl's in my ceiling fan. I turn them off and the buzzing stopped. I just don't know why it just started to do this at this time because I've had this setup for almost a year now. Oh well, thanks to everyone who contributed.

Just got one on Tuesday 2/9/10. Same buzzing problem, but found out it was getting some type of interference from our space heater. Look for something that may be causing the same thing in your home. We turned off the space heater and now we're colder, but NO BUZZING. Hope this helps!

Is there anything in the home you can try shutting down? Sounds like it's caused by electrical noise, and could be something else causing it.Thankfully I guess my power's okay, as mine's never done that and I've had it a year.

I am having this same problem.... what can I do? I have tried even using a serge protector that cleans the electricity. any ideas?

I just received a 50' vga cable with audio. Connected one end to the computer and ran the the other end around the room to my big screen. The video works well but there is a buzzing sound when i plug in audio. Is there anything that can be done to stop that buzzing noise?

I got a Samsung technician came to my house to fix this crackling noise. He also said he never heard this kind of problems from Samsung before. He changed the power supply, but the crackling persists. He then rescheduled for a new panel. A different technician came with a new panel and replaced it with the one on the tv. Now my tv has much less crackling noise. Maybe one or two pops only, but its manageable for me.

It's not just this model that is affected by buzzing, it's the entire "B" series which the other TV you listed is as well. Not everyone has the buzz and its more often reported online than those that don't. I just received mine earlier this afternoon and no buzz so far aside from the normal plasma buzz.

I have been using the this drive for several months and I have had no buzzing noises. I would be concerned about that. Sounds like there may be an issue with the drive. I had one of the book drives start dropping out like it was getting disconnected then it finally just died. I had it for about 4 years before this happened though and had already purchased another one a couple of months before the old one died. The one I have now seems to be working fine but I am not sure I would buy another one.

We had one with a loud humming noise and it turned-out it was not working properly so we returned it for a new one. They can have a low pitched hum but it should barely be noticeable. If you know how to check the voltage with a 12 Volt meter, you can check the delivery side of the transformer.....if it is not giving a consistent voltage of around 12, the transformer is bad.

When the TV it's off it is completely silent. However, as soon as the TV is working you can hear that "buzzing" sound just right out of the box. It is not extremely loud but did bother me.

No buzzing on my unit...everything works fine. The buzzing is probably electrical interference for which you will have to pinpoint a cause

I just got delivery on my PN50B860 and no buzzing. My guess is that given all the negative publicity that it is fixed. No problems and the flat panel is awesome! Try contacting Samsung technical service to confirm as they should be able to inform you if the issue has been resolved.

YES they BUZZ. It may be a little hit or miss, but it seems most of these TVs buzz. I had three from Amazon and they all buzzed to varying degrees, plus some other issues. One more from Crutchfield and the buzz is the worst yet. I have given up on this model and am thinking of the PN50B650 (as soon as amazon brings the price back down - these yo-yo prices are annoying, may just head to best buy in the end !).

I know this is an old question but I just bought and installed this switch. I was worried (because of this question) about the switch buzzing. I have this hooked up to control 4 Cree 65W equivalent BR30 dimmable LED lights and notice no buzzing sound what so ever. Even at the lowest setting with my ear on the switch, I hear no buzzing.

ok. Got the replacement.1) the static sound still exists from 1-8 but it's half as bad as the previous unit2) now sometimes i get a buzzing sound when the volume is at 0This one was also manufactured in October 2010.I'll see if this bothers me enough, else i'll send it back.

A lot of the new (2009) samsungs have buzzing issues. I tried two pn50b650's and they both buzzed. They also had faint horizontal white lines that were cleary visible when watching a dark movie. If you choose Samsung be sure to buy it from someone that you are able to return it to.

yeh the problem i'm having and i think the original poster is having is more of electronic beeping type noises rather than static, the static is probably just something to do with your hookup to the tv if it's fine on your computer and camera... but when i play back a video on my camera or computer i hear an annoying faint beeping sounding in the background

I own a Samsung HTL56 DLP model and I'm having problems with noises coming from the TV. It sounds like cracking and poping and it happens when it's on but it's really bad when it's turned off. It sounds like its going to explode. Anyone else have this problem? Can anyone tell me what may cause this? It's only 2 years old. Thanks

I have had my tv for about two months now. Have never heard any kind of buzzing noise. The picture and sound is great. Plasma screen is bright and clear. Love it so far.

i used to have the bulb version of this tv (was stolen, insurance check is enabling me to get this LED beauty), and it made the same noisesi always suspected it was from heat, just as David Teng is saying....once it's warm enough, it expands and creaks a biti used to find it funny because it would make the cats jump.....never really bothered me :)
