producerpinnell Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hello, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me. Take a listen to this audio clip: http://audioboo.fm/boos/297222-internal-noises Listen out for what I can only describe as "high pitched noises" coming from near the internal microphone on my macbook, does anyone know what is causing this and perhaps how I can "mute" it? I've tried turning the internal mic off completely but to no avail! I'm aware of what the other noises are in there, it's just the high pitched one, you'll have to listen real carefully. Also, ignore the hello bit at the end, that was me thinking it wasn't recording! My Mac is working fine, but the noise is just a little annoying!

digitalhunter Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Ian that sounds like electronic interference. It could be down to the hard drive, cooling fan, mains ripple from a slightly less than perfect switch mode power supply or maybe even the backlight of your screen. To be honest built in microphones are not exactly designed to be good just deisgned to work and their shielding properties are pretty poor.

producerpinnell Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ah, well the computer runs perfectly apart from that. I guess it's not a problem to worry about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalhunter Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 No nothing to worry about. The mic will be perfect for the likes of VOIP. You could always plugin your proper microphone but then you may get a few strange looks from people if you are sat in a cyber cafe with it ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galaxymatt Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Sometimes CD players can generate this internal noise, try muting the cd drives output. http://galaxy247.net/files/outreach_4.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
