WHERE IS THE AUDIO ON THIS CAMERA? I'm going to have to put windcutters over it to block out wind noise.

There are two small holes on 3 and 9 o'clock of the camera, try to use the electric tape to wrap around that area, you can cover the pistol on/off button too, and put inside the rainproof cover. Of course you can lower the recording sound level during the editing. John support@tachyoninc.com 972-353-0888

The motorized sounds you are getting are not normal in my experience. I have no sounds from the unit during video and no sounds out of the ordinary during normal everyday use. I would look into a return/swap out for another camera.

Audio is NOT built in; cameras use BNC cables. If you want audio, shop for weatherproof mike and buy a BNC cable with audio wire included...

Use Audacity. It's free and under the "Effect" menu, you can use the noise removal option which will take out all background noise.

I have the camera mounted outside (weather protected) and connected to a computer that uses a good quality surround speaker system with EQ control for fine audio adjustment. Audio from the camera is reasonably good over an acceptable frequency range. The omni-directional mic is quite sensitive and picks up sounds from more than 150 ft away (as you would want from a Security cam). Conversations at that distance are very intelligible as long as the ambient background noise is not extreme.

Thank you! My mom has this camera and has been visiting, taking pics and video of grand kids. The sound that used to be there for playback seemed to have disappeared. Thanks to your tip, we got the sound back and my mom is delighted! We had checked the volume and sound in settings, but you have to complete this step while the video is in playback. This is not mentioned anywhere in the instruction manual.

I'm wondering if you just have a bad unit. Can you explain a bit more how the video and images are poor? As with your other problems:- your HDMI problem may be a cable problem. Try another cable.- Is your TV 1080p? Typically, the video device detects what the TV can handle and switches it automatically.- Check if your camcorder has a setting to lower wind noise. It is quite common to have wind noise unless you use a special mic (those furry kind that muffles wind noise, seen here:Canon 2591B002 DM-100 Directional Stereo Microphone for HF/HG Series Camcorders I'm wondering if you just have a bad unit.

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.

Hi Giorgi, sorry to hear this. This camera has a built in speaker that when playing back recorded videos, sound should come out. -Vincent

There is no audio on it. We use it only for watching our front yard where audio is not important. My husband has checked all the functions and he says there is no audio on it.

Mine isn't noisy unless I have one of the cameras isolated in the single screen mode and it is really windy.

I haven't noticed noise from the shutter, but there is some noise when the camera is turned on - I suspect from the sensor cleaning unit. Noise, however, is not usually an issue since I shoot mostly outside.

http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/t2i-7d-disable-agc-rode-videomic/ Its not the mic ... its the camera. Either use the work around at the above link or http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/zoom-h4n-review/ you have to get a separate audio recorder and link it to the video in post. If you get frustrated, just remember the T2i is a PHOTO camera. Just appreciate that you are now shooting movie quality video for under a grand. At least that's what I tell myself to help me fall asleep at night. :)

Hi all,Does anyone have some experience with shooting in windy conditions? Is the microphone shielded in a way that it reduces noise caused by the wind?. What about the images when filming fast action. Does it get jerky? (Can both be tried out by shooting from an open car window)Thanks for your info.

This is probably an alarm setting for movement that is triggered by movement in the camera's field of vision like a tree blowing in the wind, etc. You need to turn off audio alarms.

The typical answer is to put on a baffle or screen of foam; like those you see on announcer mics on TV at outdoor events. You could use a bit of packing foam to do the job, or even a layer of cloth. This will reduce the rumble from wind. Secure with a tie wrap or wire tie.

Yes and in my opinion the wind noise canceling function is not helping a great deal and I am using an external mic cutting off the build in mic altogether. It is very much easier to protect the external mic from the wind and the sound quality is getting better.
