I bought a 52 inch Samsung in May and the humming is getting so bad sometimes I'll go watch another TV. We also have a problem with horizontal bars rolling from the bottom to the top of the screen (bending -too much power).
I called David T. at Future shop, 613 526-7450. He said it may have experienced a power serge from lightening causing the hum. I didn't buy the extended warranty so I am out of luck. He also suggested that a special power bar for $300 might help to regulate the power. David said they are so sensitive that when someone turns on or off something else that uses power, it will effect the TV. He said they all do it, but it seems more of a problem with Samsung.

Me too! The tech guy is right about the coil. Taking it back will do you no good because you will just get another bad coil. Have Samsung replace the bad coil on the power supply with an updated one and all will be good again. It's a simple fix. You have a year on the warranty.

I am on my third new Samsung tv and still am having the same hitch pitched noise problem as with the previous two sets. I am going to try the suggesstion by CircuitCity and see if this works. I am thrilled with the tv with respect to controls/picture/sound/etc., just hate the high pitched noise issue. I am not sure that the bad ground as suggested by CircuitCity is the correct solution but worth a try anyway. If this does not work I got a local Samsung rep's business card from a guy a HHGregg that i am going to call and see if they can help and i will post details soon as to outcome. Thanks

I have the same humming problem with my brand new LN-T3253H Samsung 32 LCD. Turning off the melody feature didn't work for me. Has anyone else figured out a solution??

A Samsung guy had a look or rather a listen to it but couldn't hear the noise as he was fairly old and proably his ears can't hear that frequency any longer! He offered no solution and said he might have a look after 'silly season' if I was still bothered by it.
As the noise is only there when in standby I can't say that its related to picture colour change.

I have a Samsung LN-T3253H LCD tv. I have detected a humming/buzzing noise coming from the tv that is slightly noticeable when watching tv, but is more noticeable when the tv is muted. I had this problem with the first tv i purchased where the sound was much more pronounced and i returned the tv for a replacment. I have had the new tv now for two days and the same sound has started again but like i said not as noticeable. I called Samsung when i had the first tv and they told me to unplug the tv and plug it back in to correct the problem. Problem still existed and Samsung was going to send a repair tech to fix but i decided to return the tv for a replacment instead b/c i did not want to wait for a repair tech. Like i stated earlier, with the second tv i have now the humming noise is not a noticeable as with the first tv but it is still there nonetheless. Can you help please?
