How many people that own this are hearing a weird sound that sounds like a leaking pipe or even a sizzle spark type sound when plasma is on?

I heard it for a couple months. I noticed the other day it stopped. And It was only during the time When Plasma was on. Tell me if you hear a difference cycling plasma on or off.

Mine made that noise for 5 months then stopped. Dont know if that indicates it stopped working or if it is working correctly.

I have that same issue, I thought at first it was coming from the show I was watching but that wasn't the case. I'm debating on returning it for a replacement. The static can be quite annoying at times...

I just received this toaster from our wedding registry and YES my husband and I both hear a high pitched noise. I don't know if it is normal or not - came here to see if anyone else had the problem.

I am hearing the motor too along with the white noise... I wonder if it's normal or if my unit has a defect.

I absolutely adore my Toshiba, but this noise is driving me INSANE. Figured there was just some fur in there (I have two cats), but I'm glad to know that it's not just mine. I'm gonna try the oil thing. The tap didn't really work.

I have to agree that this sounds like your lamp is gone. I'm expecting this to happen to my TV soon as well. I'm now into my third year and the lamp does have to be replaced periodically. Since you have sound but not picture, it doesn't sound like a source problem.

Hi -- I saw the same thing on my unit from extremely close by. I believe that's just how plasmas work because of the medium they are using. This has not impacted our viewing experience from our regular viewing position.

No I have not heard it, mine is silent, though I have yet to use it for long periods. I don't think it's normal, but if it still does what it says on the pack it's ok.If it's not broken don't fix it!

i have the same "buzzing" sound coming from the vent on the left rear side. not sure if its normal but im going to set up service call to confirm.*update*ive been tweaking the settings and the buzzing seems to go way down if you put the contrast on about 50%, thus throwing the picture quality off. ive decided im going to send this tv back and replace it with the samsung lcd.

Not all plasmas, I am not sure yet why but I have a similar issue too, did not care to check if it was a various coloured noise or just various shades. I DO NOT have it on my other Panasonic professional plasma though.Either it's HDMI cable or just HDMI connection )I use DVI on others - or this TV has more faults then I initially thought...The worse thing is greenish tint vs older pro plasmas which may not have this deep of the black level but are all more accurate in my opinion. I had 2 of these before and haven't noticed this issue just now - also if you display a window on a gray screen you can notice horizontal smudges at the hight of the window border.

When mine goes on, it makes a loud pop and then a very loud and noticeable vibrating noise, like from a coil or something. This dies down after several seconds, and then it runs quietly....until the next cycle. It cycles several times an hour. Have had the unit for 11 months, and it has made these noises the whole time. Negligible effect on my electric bill.

What exactly made the sound? Can you inspect every inch of the strip to check for any visual damage? I have ran mine for several hours with no issues.

I have never had a problem like this before. I think very highly of this sound system. I'm thinking about buying another one of these sound systems for my other TV which has a worn out sound system. Hope this helps you out.

It's not just this model that is affected by buzzing, it's the entire "B" series which the other TV you listed is as well. Not everyone has the buzz and its more often reported online than those that don't. I just received mine earlier this afternoon and no buzz so far aside from the normal plasma buzz.

I haven't had that problem, ours goes quite loud. The issue I have is that sometimes when I turn the TV on, there is no sound until I increase the volume, then the sound comes on.

I'm having the same problem with static apparently generated by my plasma TV -- the lighter/whiter the picture, the worse the static. Is there a solution other than getting another model headphone? If so, which one? Randy
