Electronic whine coming from my Qtek 8500 anyone else noticed this problem.
I love the phone which I have had for a few days bu noticed something which may be normal today. When I am playing music and it stops or I stop it the I hear a buzzing noise, sounds like a backlight buzz that some TFT suffer from. Happens on charge, with headphones plugged in and I can hear it through the headset which came with the phone. I had a Apple MacBook Pro with a similar whine if anyone is familiar with that.
i have an ATT 8525 and I have that buzzing sound also as soon as the backlight is turned on.

Same problem as you when using my startrek. Now I got used to it.
Happens if you are touching the keyboard. DUnno why. But I can hear it also when I touch and the keyboard backlight goes on..
it's annoying. the only time I hold it up so close to my ear to be able to hear it is when I make/answer a phone call. then I just turn the screen off when I'm talking on the phone. it sucks.

Heyhey,
When i am calling, and put on my over 50% my speaker starts acting wierd (the one that you hold at your ear). It sounds like it cant handle the sound comming out, like its to loud or like there is something wrong with my speaker.
Known problem with the hero and speaker?
i notice the same thing with mine. it sounds like the speaker taps out... almost as if its going to blow. i'm assuming this is a common issue.
Just noticed an odd very light whirring noise from my headphones when they are plugged into the Evo 3d and the screen is updating.
For example when i turn the screen on and the weather animation on my lock-screen runs, it makes the whirring noise, but when I am on a static home screen it is quiet, but then if i swipe to move to the next screen i hear the light noise again. Same if click on the launcher button to open the app drawer, or click on the phone button on the screen and it opens the dialer.
Wondering if this is a common issue/bug, or if I have a defective unit i need to exchange.
The headphones work perfectly fine in my old phone so it isn't the headphones.

I had headphones on for about 40 minutes yesterday morning and didn't notice anything like that at all. Have you tried a different set of headphones?....just to pinpoint in fact that it's a problem with your phone.
I see what you are talking about. The noise is really faint, but I'd say not to worry about it since it may be software related. When browsing apps and what not the sound is gone.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Damn......just put my headphones on again and still nothing like that. Either my phone's not afflicted or my ears are worse then I thought after to many years working in a factory.
I can hear it too, when I scroll I can clearly hear it. This isn't anything new, I've noticed this sort of thing from other devices. Certain laptops will make a tiny squeal when rapidly scrolling something on the screen with the volume jacked up. We're probably hearing added EMI from the increase in CPU activity. Not much you can do about it. :/
The original Evo used to always make this annoying warbling noise during silence. At times it honestly sounded like faint music almost, it was that pronounced.

Yep, that's a fact of life, when it comes to electronic devices. When it puts out enough power, it'll interfere with the headphones (Which, if you think about it, headphones are just a giant magnifier for electronic pulses. Makes sense)
If you don't believe me, hook up an aux cable to your car stereo, and pinch the end. It'll make a buzzing noise. You're electrically charged enough to play music!
Same thing for the internals of your phone. Doesn't take much. Heck, you could probably set your phone next to an MP3 player that you have your headphones plugged into, and still get some interference.
Thanks for confirming that you can hear it too.
I know what you all are saying about electronics having some EMI, but i went back and compared it to my original Evo, and a friend's iPhone 3GS, and neither of the two gave any background noise because the screen was changing/scrolling etc.
Gotta decide if I want to return it. I love the phone's speed, features etc., and this is definitely a minor thing I am bringing up, but it just bugs me a little.
I also have this noise problem, noticed it right away. I also have a slight cracking sound from the speaker when a loud sound plays. It's odd because normally other devices are able to be placed at max volume without hearing distortion. I'm not ready to return it yet, my roomate got one this morning, and I want to see if his does the same.
My Evo did the same thing, especially worse when I had it plugged in.
Same effect on my phone. I just noticed
last night and thought I was hearing things.
I noticed this right away on my 3D. I never noticed any similar sound on my EVO 4G.
Thankfully, it seems to disappear when I am not interacting with the phone. Therefore, it's not a huge issue for me.

I just received my brand new SGS2 (White) and I noticed a problem with the in call sound. I tried calling my phone with different phones so it's not one phone that's acting up but my phone that has a bad speaker.
The problem I'm experiencing is a scratching sound when someone is talking with a high or low pitched voice. It sounds like a busted speaker.
I'm writing because I'd like to know if the speaker is really so bad on this phone or if it's something wrong with it. My wife can't hear a thing but I's really bothering me.
Note: I'm not talking about external speaker. I'm talking about the headset or whatever you call it. The one that you use in a normal call. I forgot to mention that the scratching sound goes away only if I set my volume below 40%.
I have a small lamp desk beside my bed and I leave my transformer charging on top of the desk. I only notice this in my bedroom, (I guess its quiet and the sound bounce off the wooden desk)
The electronic buzz and hissing sound bothered me, and I couldnt figure out if it was my laptop, cell or the phone. It was loud enough to disturb me whenever it decided to hiss. (hisses for 5~15 seconds randomly sometimes every 2 minute, sometimes more/less often)
Turns out it was the prime. If you put your ear on the back of the tablet, you will really hear it. (top left corner looking it from the back is where it makes the most noise)
Is this a defective prime or is everyone like this. I am not sure if this has to do with the .13 update because I didn't hear the sound when I first got the prime.
Could you guys check your prime and please tell me this is normal/not normal

Yeah, I got that too. Noticed it yesterday. Quite annoying for those who have better hearing. There are other people experiencing this too

I will try to ignore it
Do you have your phone near the Transformer? Phones interfere with amplifiers and can generate buzzing noise in the speakers (it sounds like old school phone modem). I use it to detect phone calls before the phone starts calling.
You are duplicating my thread ;P

THIS!
Seriously, now. It could be the phone as somebody suggested. Specifically you cellphone, or pager (or any wireless communication device within 1 - 2 meters away)
It could also be due to the update. How's your battery life? Some are reporting that Audio_out is intermittently waking up during sleep. That's another item to consider.
I think it's Asus' hardware fix for the poor wireless. They filled the new ones with messenger bees. They fly out of your HDMI port to hand deliver data packets.

Sorry, I know this was a serious thread, just couldn't resist.I am trying to see if I have the sound described, but it's a bit loud where I am ATM. Will check tonight at home.
I hear the ever-so-slightest whisper along most of the top-end of mine. Along the bottom however, nothing.
Certainly would never have heard this without everything cut off and the Prime almost wedged into my ear lol
So, wonder what it is.
At first I thought this was about the issue of feedback when not playing audio but keeping the Prime plugged in to a 3.5mm jack. MicroHDMI of course exhibits no such behavior. But it's not, so I don't even know why I'm mentioning it
*EDIT:
Much worse when plugged in. Still not very noticeable. Just sounds like static from the speaker to me, I now hear it best right under the speaker grille (that is beneath, not directly behind).
Put me in the "can't hear a damn thing" category. Not a single hiss.
Greetings.
Just bought the Z5C. Phone is awesome, but when I play anything over the speakers (incoming call, music, etc.) the volume is good for about a second, and then it turns very silent.
Anyone experienced this, or knows something about the issue?
Same Issue

Hey! I had this same issue for the first day that I had the phone. It was driving me crazy. What drives me even more crazy is I don't what I did to fix it. I am not entirely sure, but I noticed a difference after pairing the Z5C to a bluetooth speaker for about 30 minutes. When I unpaired and went back to the speakers on the phone they were substantially better. Hope this helps...

I was trying different things on my phone and decided to factory reset it. After it rebooted the same problem is back. Low volume for second, then super quiet. I tried replicating the same process I thought somehow fixed the issue before and it didn't help. I've tried messing with all the audio settings, toggles here and there but nothing seems to fix it. I wonder what this might be and why the phone all of a sudden started working like it should last time. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi, I had the same problem with lower sound from speakers after 30 seconds. After disabling "STAMINA" the speakers are very loud. And if you put "Audio settings" to "standby aktive" you could even activate "STAMINA" without speaker loudness problems
Yeah happened to me yesterday as I was listening to the Radio app while on a walk. Went from relatively loud to super low quiet. I thought maybe I pocket bumped the volume or something.
Same problem. In my case, I noticed audio almost stops from one of the speakers (sometimes the top one, sometimes the bottom one, wich indicates it may not be a hardware issue). Happens on games, music, videos, or calls with the speaker on. Seems to be random.
searching for this problem (this is also happening to me (mostly top speaker while i playing and mostly games
is only one speaker(top) for me not 2 speakers
(maybe the heat? if im not the only one is hardware or software? ) it was at 5.1.1 so updated to 6.0 still the same.. maybe speaker wont working well while heated? tried to shake the device thought maybe something loose connection inside
