I don't own the set but I would imagine it's the capacitors inside it that are discharging electricity. My Toshiba LCD does this after I turn it off every time. Anyway, I've read about this a little and I would presume it's okay, unless it's truly excessive.

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 don't notice a noise in the speakers until I turn off the tv and leave it on then it makes noise. As for overheating, I just touched the back of mine and the metal is hot but it hasn't overheated yet and it's been in since the day I wrote the post. I'm sorry if that doesn't help

I am sorry but I have not seen the problem you describe with my flat screen. It does not sound normal for the TV. Good luck.

Are you sure it isn't the subwoofer? It stays on all the time even when the system is turned off and produces a low level hum, constantly. That seems to be the norm for all the subs and the Onkyo receivers. I was surprised to walk into my media room and hear the hum coming from the sub and the system was turned off. Sub is always in stand by. Just a thought.

i didn't hear any beeping...it was more like jet engine taking off, kinda screech, but replacing it definitely took that noise away and now the TV stays onLoud random beep sounds more like a battery backup or smoke alarm, to me.

Did you experience this crackling when you turned the TV on too? I have a Samsung 4671 and it crackles when I turn it on and off. I actually returned the first TV and the second TV crackles more, which makes me think it may not be the power supply. However, what did you have to do to remedy the problem?

Hello,Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right?Thanks for any info.

What sources do you have it connected to (cable box, blu ray player, av receiver, etc)? Does this occur on each source? Has this occured starting when you first used the tv or is it new? Without knowing any other details ensure your cables (likely hdmi) are secured on both ends.

Do all of yours make that clicking noise when it is on? It seems like it shouldn't make that sound?

It is the plastic heating up nothing to do with the power if we are talking about the popping noise common after the TV has been on for a period of time and continues when it is turned off. I noticed when my air conditioning turned on it became more intense b/c of the contrast in temperature. You can move the TV or turn it off a couple hours before you sleep i guess thats what i've done is turn it off an hour before i go to bed.

It maybe that your TV has it speakers turned off. On my Sharp you have the option to turn the TV speakers off, on one of the menus if you use a sound system. I had to turn them off though I got a weird echo effect when I had the sound bar and the TV's speakers going. Might want to look at your manual to see if that's an option.

When mine goes on, it makes a loud pop and then a very loud and noticeable vibrating noise, like from a coil or something. This dies down after several seconds, and then it runs quietly....until the next cycle. It cycles several times an hour. Have had the unit for 11 months, and it has made these noises the whole time. Negligible effect on my electric bill.

I have not seen that happening on my tv, does it happens while watching different video sources, (BD, Video Games, regular t.v cable or satellite) or only in one of these? if it happens no matter the video source it may be the t.v. if its only on specific ones you could try to change cable connections or the problem could be on the video source.

I have the same issue with my two-week old 42B450, as well. The plastic bezel makes faint crackling noises as the unit warms up (lasts for about 30 minutes). It is definitely the plastic bezel since I can duplicate the sound by pressing the bezel along the top edge of the TV. Another Amazon post said that they had the same issue and so they returned the TV for replacement and the second one did not make the sounds. Am curious if the Samsung rep mentioned above actually has a fix for the problem.Except for this issue, the TV is excellent in every way.

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!
