Hi folks.....Not a big issue because the 'hum' does not come out of the speakers as sound but my Marantz CD-67SE has a very audible 'hum' to it when I'm near it changing CD's. Any idea why it's 'humming'??.

Maybe it is a catchy tune.Originally posted by madmac
Do you recognize it? :W
Seriously, is this something you just noticed?
You sure it has not been making this sound all along?
Maybe the transport/motor? Maybe the power supply?
Hard to tell from here. -
Does it happen when there's a CD in it vs. no CD? If there is and it only happens when a CD is in it then it's the motor spinning the CD I would think. Other than that... the only other "motor" that would make a sound is for the tray opening and closing. Can't really think of anything else that would cause that.Digital Audio makes me Happy.

If it's a constant hum even when it isn't spinning a disc, it's probably the transformer in the power supply. This is common and doesn't indicate a problem with the unit, unless it's really loud.Comment

I believe you are correct Kevin. It's most certainly the power supply/ transformer. It's happens all the time whether it's spinning a disc or not. Works great, no change in performance. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether it's always done this. This player is quite old (1998). :EDan Madden :TComment

Skynet is becoming self aware. The sound is a beacon sound to wake up all the other machines in the theater, soon wireless connection is established, and connections with other theaters worldwide will be established, as Skynet continues to spread the virus.
Seriously, about all said here is about what there is to know.Doug

Man that means that the RIAA is going to be suing Skynet because then all the CDPs will start sharing the music and the RIAA wants their cut! :PDigital Audio makes me Happy.

madmac, I suspect that it's the Harakat Ul-Mujahideen (HUM), a Pakistan-based Islamic militant group with close ties to the Pakistani intelligence agency (the ISI), sending you a message. Just why they have chosen to contact you via your CD player is anyone's guess.

Ok now I'm paranoid!!. :E I've tossed the CD player out the window......that's that !! :TDan Madden :TComment

Well... I guess that's one way to deal with it!
Now, if the player starts talking to you, then we have a whole 'nuther problem.

I have Denon 3808 and i noticed that there is some buzzing sound coming from inside.. It's not something loud, but when i put ear like 10 cm from the device i can hear that buzzing...

My brand new Rsp 1068 started humming. I have had this processor for about 3 weeks. I moved a couple of things around, and found that you can only hear the hum when the component monitor output is connected. I think that the problem is that these wires run side by side to the tv power cable inside... -
I just purchased a Parasound New Classic 5250 5-channel amplifier and am now using my 7-year old Sony ES30 receiver as a front end processor until I upgrade to a dedicated prepro.
I have a question or two about some faint hum I’m hearing when I get close to the speakers (when both the... -
Motor
The motor assembly of a loudspeaker driver is responsible for creating the magnetic field that interacts with the voice coil, allowing the driver to convert electrical signals into sound waves. The design of the motor assembly affects the driver's efficiency, power handling, and overall performance. While there can be various motor assembly configurations, the most common type is the "permanently magnetized motor." The motor assembly of an average loudspeaker driver...20 July 2023, 19:49 Thursday
