See if u r too close to phones/appliances, or if a computer is on same electical circuit. Very sensitive!

Sounds like a faulty unit- just tried to replicate, and can't duplicate the problem.

Hi James your comments were a Very Nice Surprise Thank YOU very much :-)I have also discovered that the reason I noticed the volume was a bit low was because I had the attenuator switch on the back in the wrong position because once I switched I noticed the volume increased which solved the low volume problem.I would post that online for others but I don't know how, sorryRegards, Gordon

Mine is doing the same thing, called Pioneer but they don't work on Sundays, will try again tomorrow see if I can find a solution. I relly enjoy the quality and sound crispness of this bar, but the quality is lacking. Bluetooth doesn't work and the poping sound too!! Have to turn it off and on about 6 or 7 times before it works. I think it might be a capacitor malfunction, probably not regulating the amperage correctly.

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

"Loud snaps and pops when the computer re-boots" : I believe that is nothing to do with the speakers. I get that sound with any speakers with my computer. An Audio card with a noise filter might fix that sound.

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like a defect. I haven't had any problem with mine. I think I've had it over a year now. Good luck.

The back ground noise is SO loud. I have tried many things to make it quieter because I can't hear the voices and words over the noise. Most recently some one told me to put a piece of bread over it's speaker while recording to cut fuzz, that kind of worked but I would suggest an audio program to cut it out maybe?

I might be getting noise from having your settings too high. Try turning everything down all the way except the volume and see if it goes away

I had the same issue and returned them and got a less expensive fataly1. not quite as comfortable and in stero only. I run a sound blaster card with great 2. 1 and 5.1 plugged in back. It your choise.

Mine did the same thing and the window for returning it had passed. It's a piece of junk so my tech guy tells me and I should have returned it when I saw all the Made In China stickers on it. The word Jensen means nothing now where are years ago it was the finest in music, radio, car speakers, etc. Sorry you got stuck like I did. Hope you have time to get a refund.

I do not have this problem. It could be just a manufacturing error. I would just contact the company about this issue as I do not have this problem with my speakers.

Same as other answers link and flip open. I will also add I used this less than 1 day because the sound was so bad for others hearing me. I trashed it the second day and went with another product

Thanks, that might have been the reason for I went from some mid range infinitys to 4 Martin Logan towers and the problem seems to have disappeared, I'll keep pushing the volume up after the recommended break-in period of the ML10'S.Looks as if the problem was in my old speakers, I was able to floor the receiver with the ML10s without triggering the protection circuit so now I'm going to sit back and enjoy warping across the various universes with Startrek and the Skywalker clan.

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried 3 different ones, and they all had the same noise. Let me know if you end up going with the same model from a different store, I'm interested to see whether this is a problem with Amazon's batch or the entire line. It's too bad everywhere else is so much more expensive than Amazon though...

Hello Dale, don't forget about the volume control on the back of the unit. Also, switching the polarity might help on the buzzing sound. Hope this helps.

Mine isn't loud. I would not consider it normal. Contact the seller for an RMA.

You could try looking inside the speakers (specifically the one with the volume knob -- that was where my problem was) and see if the capacitors are the problem. See my previous review of these speakers for more info (http://www.amazon.com/review/R33FG0Y92298KH/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm)If you had these plugged directly into a wall socket at time of power outage (and power restart) then maybe more stuff is fried. Note... in my case the buzzing sound was not caused by a power outage or from heat, but just from crappy capacitors in the speaker. They have been working like new for almost a year now after the fix. Good luck!
