Last night went to play a game on my NC running phiremod 5.1. While playing I turned the volume off and brightness down due to son sleeping. I then noticed this buzzing sound coming from the rear speaker, it then stopped when the screen went to sleep. So I turned the brightness back up and it went away, for the most part just a very faint "shhhhh" sound if I put it to my ear. I thought it may be something with mine being rooted, so I checked my wife's stock NC and it does the same thing.
So has anyone noticed the static, buzzing, or hissing sound from the rear speaker? Is there a fix for this or just something the NC does?

I just started noticing this with mine as well the last couple of days. Screen on = buzz, screen off = no buzz. Not sure what it is, but it can not be normal as I know mine has not always done this.
I'm also running phiremod and I just checked, my nookcolor also buzzes when the screen is on. I think this may be a problem with CM7, after putting it on my phone (Acer Liquid E) I've noticed that the speaker buzzes, it never did that before...
IIRC, this is already a known problem over in the devel area. They are working on fixing it (and may have but I haven't checked lately.)
I believe this was fixed in CM7 Nightly 61 (10 days ago) and onwards, so there shouldn't be any more speaker buzz when the screen is turned off.
This results in drastically better battery life while the screen is off. Before Nightly 61, battery use was 1% per hour with the screen off. I believe it's now down to 1% every 10 hours or so.
(There is speaker buzz while the screen is turned on but shouldn't affect battery life.)
I JUST upgraded to Nightly 74 from 7.0.2 this very morning, so someone correct me if this is not accurate?
There is no buzz when screen is off, only when on. I did not realize that my speaker was even making any sounds before yesterday and I have been runing CM7 off emmc for awhile now.
I thought it was nightly 64, but that's also my understanding of it.

Hey everyone!
I'm really excited, yesterday got a brand new Captivate in Canada. I guess I'm one of the first, the actual launch date is the 25th but not every Future Shop follows the rules.
Anyways, here's my problem. I've noticed that any time the phone makes a sound, the speaker will hiss for a second or two. As in while the sound as playing, and for a second or two afterwards. It's not incredibly loud, but it is noticeable. It sounds like white noise, but not as harsh.
I took it back to the Future Shop where I got it, and luckily there was a Samsung rep there. He had never heard of the problem. They said they would do a replacement of the phone, no problem, but I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this or knew of any solutions.
I haven't changed the phone in any way, and it's done it since day one (I guess that's not saying much, this is day two). Pushing on the speaker doesn't help, as suggested in the threads where people have had speaker problems. Anyone else having similar problems?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know that my experience applies to the speaker itself, but I noticed something similar last night when I had headphones plugged into my Cappy.
Whenever I would launch a program, play a sound, etc, I'd notice a very audible hiss/white noise. As this hadn't been an issue earlier, I figured it was something I changed. The first place I had looked was in the TV-out settings, and discovered that I left it enabled. After unchecking the box (Settings > Sound and Display -> TV out), the hiss was gone, or at least barely noticeable.
I find exactly the opposite... The hiss stops completely when headphones are plugged in. No hiss on the headphones or the speaker. TV out is off, as well. Thanks for the response though.
I've had my HD7 for 12 days now but it wasn't until 3 days ago that I noticed a persistent static noise coming from the phone. It's not loud enough to be noticeable until I have the phone (screen side away, sound seems strongest very near the camera lens area) about 3 inches from my ear. It's constant though. The only way to make it stop is to fully power down the phone, but then eventually I'll notice it again.
Is it possible that I'm just oversensitive to sound and that is a normal operating sound that occurs after the phone has been running for a few hours?
I've had the phone for a day and I noticed something like this happening after I used the YouTube app. A battery pull fixed it however and I haven't run into the same issue.
how can we fix this??? it buggs me...it used to do that all the time then for a while it stopped....
Continuum 6 RC1, TalonDev kernel (whatever is baked into RC1.)
First off, every time I restart my phone it gives a couple of pops.
When playing sounds, a low level static also plays over the speaker, continues for a second after the sound ends, and then ends with a slight 'pop' sound.
It happens even when headphones are plugged in, and for awhile on Continuum 5.6 using the speaker phone in calls would cause my phone to reboot. TB is restoring apps at the moment, I'll post later whether or not I'm still having the reboot problem on 6 RC1.
What do ya'll think? Sound like a hardware problem?
I've got a bit of a head scratcher on this one.
I've had my I9000M for a year and a bit now, and for the past month or so I've been putting up with this seemingly random 'screeching' sound it's been putting out. The best way I could describe it is the high pitched noise a CRT TV/monitor emits when it's turned on, but higher pitched than that. It's certainly irritating, especially when it wakes me up at night.
I can't pinpoint an exact time where this would occur - it starts and stops with a mind of its own it seems. I can be heavily using the device or not touching it at all. ROMs have zero effect - stock and CM-based ROMs all exhibit this noise.
Does anyone have any ideas why this would be occurring?
EDIT: This morning I went to check for messages, and found that my phone was off - turning it on caused some weird graphical glitches, then booting (showing the Galaxy S logo), and it appears to bootloop from there. Recovery and download modes are both impossible to reach, I don't have a USB jig so I can't test that however I'm doubtful.

Don't know what could be causing it but I too have this strange noise for about 10seconds when on the phone to someone.
It like a static discharge or something but it goes away after and its only been happening for the last month or two. I've had my i9000 for over a year.
Thankfully though no graphical glitches, sorry didn't mean to bump your thread without a solution.
Hello All,
I have the official CM 10.1.3 flashed to my Nook HD. Been running great for a few weeks - no issues. I only noticed this last night because it was the first time I used it in a completely silent room with the device muted. When playing a game that would otherwise produce a sound when tapped, I'm hearing a "click" or "pop" from the speaker. It's low, but it's definitely there. As if the sound system is turning on. After a short time, if I don't tap anything that would've produced a sound, I hear it again, presumably when the sound system turns off. This repeats as I play.
It's certainly not a big deal, but I was wondering if this is normal. With the sound turned on, at the lowest setting, I don't hear the "pop", just the normal sound that should be there. I also don't hear the sound system turn off, but it could be that I haven't tested it that much, or didn't notice it.
Anyone else experience this behavior? Thanks!
I thought I heard a pop and the device did a reboot after putting in an sdcard. Possibly static related? This is my first winter with a tablet.
