Listening to music or watching a movie with the loudspeaker turned on is a great way to relax, especially after a tired long day. But, you may often hear a speaker buzzing. In most cases, even turning off the audio does not completely remove the buzzing noise. There are many causes for such a problem.

In this article, I will discuss all possible reasons and how to fix speaker buzzing. So, let's see.

Part 1: What is buzzing sound like?

The transmission of information causes electromagnetic disturbances in the space around the speakers. This affects the audio. And, as a result, cause the speakers to hum. That buzzing noise seems to irritate every user who has experienced it. However, this problem is different for various users. Some people claim to hear it while browsing the internet, while some experience it when they play video games.

Part 2: What will cause the speaker buzzing noise?

There are many reasons why your speakers are making a buzzing noise. Reasons for buzzing speakers are listed below:

  • The emergence of a ground loop.
  • Radiofrequency waves cause interference.
  • Low-quality or problematic speaker.
  • The audio driver has a problem.
  • An equalizer with loud bass.

Part 3: How to fix buzzing speakers?

Now that you know the causes of this error, it is time to fix it. In this part, I am going to explain the six effective solutions by which you can fix buzzing speakers.

Fix 1: Break the electrical ground loop

One of the possible causes of speaker buzzing noise is the electrical group loop. So, you should break the electrical ground loop to resolve the issue.

electrical ground loop

When two or more electrical components in a system share the same ground connection, it causes a ground loop hum. Due to this, a small electrical current is allowed to enter the low-voltage signal paths. This results in unwanted interference. To solve this, take the following actions:

  1. Test the Volume: Check the Volume settings on any source equipment, including your PC and amplifier. At least 75% of the maximum should be used for these levels. It is best to adjust the speakers' internal volume control.
  2. Confirm Power Connections: Verify that each time a system component is powered to the same MAINS connection.
  3. Add an Audio Ground Isolator: This inexpensive, simple device is available at any electronics retailer. Put this in between the amplifier and the speakers. By doing so, you will get help to isolate the unwanted electrical noise before it becomes audible.

Fix 4: Avoid frequency interference

If you have tried everything else and your speakers still seem to buzz, something may be interfering with the frequency of our audio signal. This may be a more advanced troubleshooting step.

The most frequent sources of interference are sound waves from power lines or a nearby radio station. But in a home, there are many other viable options of interference. Wifi signals, Bluetooth devices, and cell phones are sources of interference in a home.

If you are unsure how outside noise affects your sound system, you will need to do some research. Try turning off all electronics in your speakers' space for a while to see if that fixes the issue.

If this is insufficient, it may be time to get in touch with an electrician who can offer help with more advanced grounding solutions.
