Transformer hum in avr 3806

My avr 3806 has an annoying buzz (intermittent but persistent) coming from what sounds like the power transformer. Does this mean the transformer is failing and likely to need replacing/repairing?

SOURCE: denon avr 1802 died after lightning strike

I hate to be the bearer f bad news but it has been my experience , anything hit by lightening stays hit permanantly ..
You may find a few components on the quick scan of the circuit burnt or damaged , but you can guarantee that other components have been fried also .. It does enough damage to any electrical system when you get a 300v spike on the mains .. so imagine what approx 1/2 a million volts will do to a 12 volt radio ?? dont waste your money call your insuarnce company and claim for it ?. ...

Loud buzzing coming from transformer

Buzzing is a cue that the transformer windings are loose. Time to replace it if you want silence.

Microwave buzzes when off

This is the power transformer humming, sometimes when transformers get older you get vibrations in the windings due to magnetic fields generated within the transformer which causes the humming noise, It's more annoying than anything and won't affect the operation of the microwave.

When the microwave is plugged in but not running there is a buzzing/humming noise.The unit works fine and the buzzing/humming continues when in operation as well.

That noise you hear is loose laminations in the standby/controll transformer. It is no more than a nuisance.
The transformer can be replaced by contacting the manufacturer and browsing for a dealer near you.
Hope that helps.

Hi, I get a buzzing sound coming from my s8.3 when it's plugged into the power outlet. No other cable are connected, it's only plugged into power outlet. Any suggestions? thank you!

I also had a severe hum or buzz that was NOT a ground fault loop issue or any other such problem.

Hummed to the point that reading in the family room was annoying !

I took my amp to a Very Qualified shop and the technician simply insulated the transformer 40.00 usd

Humming sound (speakers)when HK AVR is powered up.

In my case the buzz was only on front speakers. There are 3 capasitors (100uF/25V) very close to the cooling ribs of 3 regulators in the power supply. In my case the C922 was bad.

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.

Nad c270 buzzing in amp

The buzzing is coming from the transformer. It is almost expected of an amplifier of this size, that the transformer (a large one) will excite the resonance of the casework and make some noise.
