After a power outage, my Sony receiver has been making a really loud buzzing noise coming from the receiver itself, not the speakers. This is very annoying because the girls hate it and I have to turn

I unplugged all speaker wires and I used different power outlet.

I recommend getting it checked out, the sooner the better, otherwise more damage to the system may occur.

SOURCE: One speaker buzz when cold

It works fine for a couple of minutes the starts to hum. If you turn up the volume it masks the noise but is till audible, also the video switching cuts out. after examining the components I have seen some heat discoloration in the power suply area and believe it to be power for the video board. disconecting the ribbon cable form the video board the hum goes away, and so does any video wich does'nt matter for me because my monitor1.gif does all the HD video1.gif switching. hope this may help with some noise problems.

SOURCE: Static noise from Front Left Speaker

It would probably be with the speaker. That is easily checked by simply unhooking the speaker and running the test again.

Make sure none of your speaker wires are touching. I had this problem. I re connected the wires. If a wire is touching the case it'll short out. It has a built in cut out.

I still have a crackling speaker on one channel but it doesn't cut out anymore.

SOURCE: Alot of loud feedback through speakers, a loud buzzing noise

What sources make it happen or which do not? All buzzing = something in the amplifier end. is it from all speakers or just one?
One external source= RCA cables not grounded. Reconnect them tightly with a twisting motion to wipe off oxidation.

Klh powered subwoofer model ASW10-120B... when you plug in to power... it makes a loud buzzing/humming noise

I would check the caps on the power supply. They are rather large electrolytic capacitors that will look like they burst and/or leaking. When these die, the caps ground and the sub will make a loud buzzing sound. If you are handy with a soldering iron you can replace them yourself. Replace them with the same voltage or a little bigger and same with the size.

If the cap. says 16v 4700pF on it, for example, a 20v 5300pF or a 16v 6200mF cap. will work for this application.

Making a loud buzzing noise coming from the receiver AVR307 not through the speakers??

 Either some shielding baffles are loose and are vibrating or the transformer itself is generating too much sound . This happens when the power extracted thru it exceeds its capacity - there's a fault/short somewhere in the electronics. You will gonna have to open it and check for the fault.

A couple of weeks after initial setup of my brand new Onkyo XT-SR606 receiver, I noticed a loud buzzing noise that starts up approximately 10 min after the receiver is turned on. The buzzing is definitely...

The "buzz" you hear is a power hum made by the power supply transformer. It's technically called "Lamination hum" caused by the revering of electrical current through the power supply transformer. In some cases the hum can vibrate the chassis causing other loose material to vibrate. If you can, go to your dealer and check to see if other units of this same type typically make a hum this loud, and if not, see if he can solve the problem for you.

Loud buzzing at the first volume setting

Check all your wires and make sure that none of the wires that are powering any equipment (including extension cords, power bars, and power cables on the unit itself) are running parallel to any of the audio cables going to your speakers or from your inputs to your unit. This could be what's called AC hum, which is caused when the electrical current causes interference that gets picked up by the audio cables and amplified by your system. Just make sure you move the power cords as far away as possible from the audio cables.

My Panasonic TH42PZ80 makes a slight buzzing noise when switched on - is this usual or is there a problem?

If the buzzing is coming from the set itself rather than the speakers, then this is normal. The bussing should only be loud enough to hear when you are close to the set. If it is loud enough to hear from across the room, it is not normal and could be a sign that the power supply is starting to fail. Which case best describes your situation?

Sony Active Subwoofer noise

The circuit that should be turning the sub on and off based upon the presence of an audio signal is not working correctly and the sub is trying to reproduce 60 cycle hum. The unit needs service.

When amp powers up it makes a buzzing noise-quite loud-

Probably a loose coil or bad ground in the amp itself. Contact www.audiotekx.com, ask for Jason, he can help you and is the best out there. The problem you're having is extremely tricky to rectify, I had an amp with the same problem at it stumped multiple techs, some that had been in the business 35 years, yet Jason got it solved.
