The ticking noise is the arm inside the hard drive swinging back and forth in an effort to find the first sector of the drive. Best guess is a stuck spindle on which the platters ride. Another common name for this condition is called "stiction." If you feel comfortable, you can take the hard drive out and remove the cover off of it. Then, gently take your index finger and touch the edge of the platter and attempt to turn it. DO NOT touch the surface of the platter or play with the servo arm. You must do this in a dust free environment and as quickly as possible. Otherwise, you can take it to someone who is familiar with hard drive repair. Once it is working, you will need to a backup of the drive. Also, you will need to replace the drive because it will stick again. Good luck.

My Peavey PV118D is making a ticking nose. This is happening even with no sound connection made. Just plug it in and it starts making a ticking noise. Anyone know what this is, or how to fix/stop it?

Hi,

Please separate the sound device from other devices that work with sound transmission to stop any potential interference that might be amplified by your device. Also, I would plug the peavey into an outlet in another room to rule out the power source as the potential cause of the ticking problem. Otherwise, you might need to take the Peavey to a music shop for potential repair.

Thank you.

Cub cadet 524. Why won't it propel itself and makes an awful ticking noise?

Sounds like the plastic gears in the self propelled gear box are stripped or out of mesh for some reason. The clicking is most likely the gears trying to mesh

Haier dryer makes ticking noise

The ticking noise could be either a piece of the belt hitting as it spins around, it could be something stuck in the drum that is hitting it as it turns too, or it could be the electric motor making the noise. Either way it sounds like you may need to tear it apart to see what's going on.

There is a ticking noise everytime my car is on that sounds like the turn signal noise but theres no pattern or order to the ticking. i thought the hazard switch was bad, what could the ticking noise be?

It could be a relay clicking under the dash due to a bad ground circuit somewhere in the vehicle. It would be best to have a professional put an ear to it.

I have a ticking noise when i try to turn on the tv..

Try putting on the back piece. Some of these TVs have a circuit protection system that will not deactivate with the back open. (It is like an old circuit breaker with the fuse out.)

I hope this helps.

Samsung 2253bw lcd monitor makes loud, fast ticking noise > 10hz. Noise occurs even when monitor is powered off with switch.

Turned out ticking noise was harmonic vibration triggered by a nearby airconditioning compressor. Once I guessed the cause, putting a rubber pad under the monitor to dampen the vibrations eliminated the ticking. Removing the pad caused the ticking to reoccur. Ditto with turning the A/C off or on. Weird!
