I get a constant buzz along with the tv sound. Any idea how to get rid of it?

Two answers from my husband: 1) move the transmitter from it's current location (right now he has it on the floor under the TV) or 2) the batteries are low.

For anyone still wrestling with this buzzing problem, we had to try the transmitter in several different locations in order to resolve it. Other electronics were apparently causing interference.

I also have the noise coming from the unit. HDMI Passthrough is "ON". Looks like it is a "feature" of a cheap transformer that is installed inside the unit...

If you are connected to a cable box, there should be an optical connection there. Once connected, you should lower the volume on the TV to zero so sound will only come from the soundbar.

This could be several different things. The most likely culprit is your sound card... if you want to get rid of it it for good, buy an audio interface.If you already have one, then I would make sure you have good shielded cables.

I'm not sure. Our tv was not making any noise. It simply would shut off. After looking online at different forums, I was able to determine I needed a fan replacement by the number of times the red light near power button would blink. The fan fixed our problem and tv does not shut off anymore. If your buzzing noise is coming from back of the set and not speakers, it most likely is the fan. There are forums that say u can use compressed air to try and clean out the debris...but we found it was only a temporary solution and buying the fan was worth it! I recommend you Google "sony buzzing noise" to see what others say. Hope this helps!

I find it annoying but not a deal-breaker. I use the plasma almost exclusively for movies, and most tend to drown out the buzzing sound.

I am at ~1000 feet and my TV buzzes. I only notice it if I am directly in front of the TV at any distance away. Off axis the buzz nearly dissapears. Regardless, I don't typically notice it when watching anything at normal volume. I don't find it excessive. From what I have read, I understand this buzzing is inherent in plasma technology.

There is a buzz heard when directly in front of TV at any distance. It is NOT inherent in Plasma technology but specific to this model. To me it is extremely annoying. I heard it during normal programming at normal volumes. It is a design flaw in TV that has not been addressed and it is a total deal breaker for me. Your mileage may very but I'm not listening to that high pitched whiny noise on such an expensive television set.

I have the same problem, i have no solution to it i have learned to tune out the noise and raise the volume sorry if that doesn't help.

Lucy, I found the source of my hum. I have Direct TV HD. I found that going into the menu settings/Audio/Sound Effects and turning that option off, I was able to rid myself of the annoying hum. The option has something to do with keeping the audio settings from channel to channel, while it is changing you hear dead air except for the hum. Nice and quit now. Love this receiver! Larry

I have the same problem too. I just bought this LED 55 in for 2 months and it is making horrible buzzing sound. With the backlight setting to 10, the sound is very obvious, and it will get louder as I watch TV longer, like more than 1 hour.I bought service warranty with Frys, the technician came in and tried to replace the power supply because he thought it was the problem. Turn out the problem was not caused by the power supply but the TV itself he said.I just opened a ticket against Samsung, the Engineer will come over next week to take a look.

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.

The sound is more like the no signal on the TV sound. I use the White Noise setting every night. It blocks out almost all other sounds.

Hi Kevin, I have experienced this noise. I bought it brand new and returned and exchanged it and the second television did this as well. You can read my comment on the comments page. Did you resolve this problem? CJ

Probably a connection issue with one of the components hooked to the TV (mine happened to be a Sony DVD player...) removed that and the hum went away. Gave me an excuse to get a progressive scan DVD player... hooked it up and still no noise. It took me a bit to narrow it down, since I've got so many console systems. ;)

If the volume on the device (such as your tv) is not loud enough, you may hear some clicking or buzzing. However, if you just turn the volume to the max on the device (tv, computer, etc.), then control the volume via the headset's little dial thing, you won't hear any clicking or buzzing.

I have a slight buzz from mine's as well, really noticeable when the volume is on a lower lever (anything below 15). From what I have read, this is fairly normal since a lot of energy is used to heat the plasma. Also, since I'm only about 7 feet away from my set, that might be part of the reason why I notice it. Did the samsung tech support cost a lot to come out to install the insulating material?
