Does this make a sound when testing for continuity? I read one review that says it does not. Can a user confirm that it does and that it can be heard?

yes, you have to hit the yellow button a few times to select the mode. it is a low volume sound. you won't hear it in a noisy place.

Yes. Pressing the function key when in the "continuity" mode moves through 'Auto' - 'Diode' - 'Tone', modes.

This has not happened when I used mine. Most of my use has been with TV. Good luck in finding a solution to yours. Extraneous noises are very distracting.

I had to go and check. Mine does not make a sound. I went beyond my usual modes and tried everything I could and, it never made one sound.

haven't used it yet, but my other Canons (also power shots little different model) do record sound on the video. We'll try it tomorrow and let you know! It should if consistent with all other power shots I've used.

When you turn on the recorder, it does not make any noise. When you record it makes a very soft beep and also when you stop ( 2 beeps) Nothing bothersome. Reproduction is very good for a lecture, not ideal for a classical music concert.

Many of these 'nrtbooks' make that sound. Some are just louder than others. For me, that sound does not bother me as much as fan noise. That will make it or break it for me. But I know the 'ticking' on and off can get annoying too.

Mine is totally fine. Normally, inside the electronics, the sound processors decode the audio before sending them to the speakers. And these signals are pretty well synchronized. I think the audio track you tested might have louder sound on the right? Worse, you might have to go to a doctor to get your left ear checked.

I have not noticed this sound, however one of my children says she has heard it once or twice. We all agree that it works fine and if there is a noise it is not affecting how well it works.. We have had no problems with ours, it has worked great.

Mine responds from the next room only if there is little or no background noise. Even though it responds, it rarely gets the command I give it correctly. I hope it will learn over time. if not, it is just a gimmick.

Yes, when i could get it to work it will make a noise tick tick tick tick. Its not loud but can be heard.

I only notice some noise when the drives spin-up which is only momentary and not an audible problem at all. The unit sits on my desk approx. 3 feet from me. I don't notice it while backing up except for the initial spin-up of the drives.

Hi Jenna, While I don't find the sound quality very good the ways I've gotten sound are like this. If I am on my computer (windows laptop) I activate the "Pixpo Viewer" software. Usually I have my headset plugged in and it automatically will let me hear the monitor. I'm not sure however if it is reading the plug for the headphones and turning on the sound or if the sound is just always on. On my phone (iphone 4S) I open the app and when I have the picture I touch the outside of the screen, which then shows some icons around the border. Along the bottom is an speaker icon. If you touch that it turns on the sound. In order to broadcast (talk) through the monitor press and hold the microphone icon. The software is not at all user friendly, and help is pretty much non-existent. I would not buy this product again as it is not at all simple to set up or figure out how to use. There is a blue light on the camera that sometimes blinks continuously and sometimes doesn't blink at all and I have yet to figure that out or how to get it to send my a msg when it detects sound or movement. Hope this helps -

The only noise I hear is when you turn it on. Sometimes you will hear it interchange and sometimes you don't. If it has set off for a while it will make a loud click and hum but it goes away in a couple seconds. Other than that it does not make any sound that is noticeable.

Yes, you can plug this in at each end of your data run and test continuity. I have used it quite a bit and it works well.

when it is on blue (the lowest level) you cannot even hear it. When it is purple (second level) it is a low quiet hum of "white noise." When it is on the highest level you can definitely hear it, but it isn't particularly annoying. I keep it on automatic, so it will cycle up to purple or red if it needs too, but literally 90-95% of the time it is on blue and I forget it is there.

Hi MRK. Thanks for your update!As I said, I checked that it was not on mute and still nothing. I actually tried what you said yesterday, but just in case I tried it again today and still no playback sound, no shutter sound... Nothing. I can see the volume bars go up and down but I still hear (guess!): Nothing.This is not my first PowerShot. I truly love them and, even though the playback sound is not perfect, is still does give an idea of how things are going.Oh well, already contacted Amazon for an exchange.Nice to hear your luck was different! Enjoy!
