It sounds like the speaker wire it not grounded good. It sounds like a high pitch whistle or crackle.

SOURCE: loud buzzing noise on vizio tv

It sound like you may have sound processor problem which is part of the main board, I would also look at the 12vdc from power supply to make sure it is clean DC.

SOURCE: TV made a steady high

Unplug it and do not try to use it to limit the damage. You need to look at the power supply module to see if it has any sign of bad DC filter caps with leaking/bulging tops.

There's an intermittent high pitched noise from sharp aquos lc32 le600e

Sounds like a transformer or choke that has loose windings and they are resonating, you can pull the back and put small amounts of silicone on those components or replace the power board

My vizio 47in LCD tv is making a high pitch noise while watching the tv. The directv is conected with an hdmi cable. Any solutions or explanations. The tv is 7 months old

Actually someone would have to open set and power it up--try to locate area where sound here is coming from.

The first place would be in the power supply which will have a number of transformers (not giant ones) that can vibrate hard enough to make a high pitched buzz or sound.

If localized to a single board the board can be replaced but in our shop if we have narrowed it down to a single part--usually some hot glue on the offending part can remove the sound---issue is not usually one that will cause a failure but irritates people in the same room with the set.

Since the set will have to be opened first to see or in this case hear where the sound is coming from it may be repairable without replacing a board.

How do I stop the static noise from my vizio tv?

At high altitudes all plasma tvs will emit a high pitch noise.
There's nothing you can do about it besides move or get a new tv. Plasmas just do this.
