Anyone else hearing a lot of camera noise? Anyone else have this problem?

i hear this "beeping" as i describe it, as well, and have found others on youtube that experience this as well with this camera, it is quite annoying, although its not nearly as loud as you make it seem.. most people dont notice it even, but once you do it is quite annoying... i wondered if i got a defective unit but after finding many others that also have this it seems to be just how the camera is , i still have 20 some days to return it and i probably will because of this, oh well.

I hear a hammering sound when I record video as well...that's a real drag because the video itself looks great. What have people done about this?

There is a small built-in microphone at the bottom side of the camera. Also check to be sure that sound is enabled on the menu screen before recording.

I hear the motor moving the camera. It is pretty loud. But, don't hear something is clicking.

I just got my G9 yesterday, and noticed the noise as well. I read your posts and figured it was probably not a big deal. But I decided to call Canon, and they confirmed that it is the IS mechanism. To get rid of the noise change the IS Mode (under the tab with a picture of camera on the Menu) from continuous to single. Hope this helps.

Yes!!! I have this problem as well! It's so upsetting because this is supposed to be a high quality camera. And I don't feel like spending $500 for a second camera. Have you found the solution for this? If you look at my YouTube channel: APurposeDeep, you can see that my first 2 videos were recorded with it and the quality is very poor :(

I might be getting noise from having your settings too high. Try turning everything down all the way except the volume and see if it goes away

The back ground noise is SO loud. I have tried many things to make it quieter because I can't hear the voices and words over the noise. Most recently some one told me to put a piece of bread over it's speaker while recording to cut fuzz, that kind of worked but I would suggest an audio program to cut it out maybe?

I agree with Karin. What I did for the noise Is I either put my headphones in with my iPod or I will out a movie on my kindle fire with my Netflix and use my headphones. Then i can't hear the machine. :-)

Have you tried editing any footage from these cameras yet? I am concerned about that aspect.

I've never noticed mine to make any noise at all. When I checked again just now, I put my ear right up to the camera and could barely hear a little hum.

Never noticed it one way or another, prob only an issue if you are shooting video and using the built in mic. If you think it is abnormal find a photo store that stocks it and AB it with another lens. That's assuming you live in a city large enough to have a camera shop that stocks Tokina lenses.......

Hi - I do not think this is "normal" - mine didn't rattle - that sounds to me like the camera has something broken inside. I would return and get a replacement. It may work great now....but what about the future? However, I am no expert. Best of luck

Problem: Yes, the tape drive system produces an undesirable sound. I sent my original back to have it repaired. Sony could not correct this noise problem, but they did report to me that they tried several of the cameras on site and all of them also made the sound. I requested another new camera which they agreed to, but it does the same thing. Fix: I tried using an external mic on a stand, but the quality would pick up too much ambient noise. I recently corrected the problem by purchasing a Rodeo Shotgun Mic with an adapter shoe for the camera mount. I wish I had done this years ago. You don't realize how important good sound pickup is until you use a good quality mic.

Yes! Within the menu settings there is a "Mute" selection of either on or off. When mute is "on" there is absolutely no sound from camera operations.

I have never had that problem but I would say that it is probably the shutter moving quickly. That is the only "moving" part on this camera. I would call them for their suggestion. I have never had a problem with their customer service. 800-847-8269

I haven't experienced that phenomenon yet but I will be on the lookout for it game day. I am not too thrilled with the sound though. I have hooked up to the surround sound but the noise affects are much louder than the dialogue. Over all I love the picture and I think I made a solid purchase.
