Thomas Micklewright Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 BonjourDoes anyone know why when televisions get old they hiss, it really hurts my ears. Sometimes the dvd player does it as well? Wondering why it is and if there is a way to stop it?Tom Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20744-hissing-television/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsebox Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 We had a similar problem last year with our old box. Called out a techy who kindly told us there was a loose connection between the rear-speaker pocket projector and the flux capacitor.This is (apparently) quite common in old Sony sets and it worked out cheaper to buy a new set.

Huguenot Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The fact that you're hearing it in more that one place suggests it's tinnitus.When I was a young chap I used to run around the house disconnecting every piece of electrical equipment. Eventually it became so loud I had to accept it was all in my head.

northlondoner Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Puzzled about some of the diagnoses on here, as tinitus doesn't just happen around TVs Thomas. Hopefully it is just a knackrreed telly, as tinitus can be pretty ghastly... though luckily mine is just an irritant. Get it checked medically if you're worried.

maxxi Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Your plugged-in gadgets (freeview box, dvd player etc.) all have individual volume controls and if they are set low you need the tv volume up very high to hear anything and this produces hiss, you may be able to rectify it by upping the vol. on your boxes and reducing tv vol.

DulwichFox Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Reasons why TV's Hiss.. Poor or Weak Signal. TV has gone 'Off Tune' Retune your TV. Outside Aerial has been blown out of alingment.. Poor Signal... Get Aerial Re-aligned. Indoor Aerial has become inafective due to new buildings in your area.. Try an Aerial Booster. Faulty Conponent in set.. Get TV Serviced or think about a new TV.

Undisputedtruth Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Thomas, the hissing sounds are likely to come from capacitors as they tend to depreciate with age. If you can replace the capacitors then the hissing sound should stop.
