anybody hearing crackling noises? Is anyone else experiencing this or know what it could be?

Here ia a direct quote from the Samsung service manual: "Any `creaking' noise is mostly from the structure of the device itself. A short, harsh noise may occur from a distortion or malformation due to thermal expansion between the metal joints, screws and loaded parts, respectively. Any intermittent `creaking' noise can be removed by loosening the screws." I purchased the service manual out of my own curiosity as to how it works. I will not try to service this set myself while the warranty is in effect. Purchased the manual from "manualuniverse.com" for about $18.00. They also have a manual titled; "Samsung HL--Txx87 & HL-txx89 DLP TV "Halo" Problem Fix". From my previous CRT RP HDTV I often heard a loud crack after the set was turned off for a while. I have not heard that noise from my current HL-T5687S. Good luck!

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.

Mine did that too from day one. The box it came in was damaged and I assume that is what caused the weird noises. It wasn't worth the time and money to ship it back so I just used it until it started giving me uneven heat. Then I junked it.

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!

That long whistle sound pops on when power supply is not sufficient. At least from my experience. Try a much lower power draw device on it like a mini Christmas light set and see if the problem persists.

Same here, when I connect my AUX cord, to my iPhone. I can hear 3 faint pops. Nothing to bad thou...

Try switching your cables out to see if the other speaker crackles - it could be a bad cord. or you could try moving your speaker farther away - I know these are obvious and maybe you already tried that

I've never had that noise when running the plasmawave. Maybe check with the manufacturer for advice or replacement parts would be effective

I have some similiar experience with the tv. the problem that you are experiencing sounds just like mine. in my case, i suspect the cracking sound is from the left side rear when you are facing the tv. there is a difuser like ventilation outlet on my tv. it sound did like there is excessive amount of heat coming out or something that cause the plastic in that general area to generate a cracking sound. Is this what you are experiencing? have you called samsung and if they provide any resolution to the matter?

Some times the crackling noise just means it needs to be cleaned. However, I did have a different crackling noise start on mine a little while back, and when I took it in for service, they had to replace some kind of electrical box inside the unit. It was covered under the warranty, so it didn't cost anything, but it was a fire hazard. So if cleaning the unit doesn't stop the crackling, don't wait--go ahead and take it in for service.

Did you experience this crackling when you turned the TV on too? I have a Samsung 4671 and it crackles when I turn it on and off. I actually returned the first TV and the second TV crackles more, which makes me think it may not be the power supply. However, what did you have to do to remedy the problem?

I have not experienced this on my system. Are you properly vented? This is important.

Mine does too! It stops making the noise when it's toasting, and will start to make it again when it stops. It sounds like it's coming from the LED display. It's not very loud, but it's surprisingly incredibly annoying.

So mine is working more than 20 feet away through 2 walls with the occasional crackling if I mess with it. Before you go and return them, try with a different phone or device(if you haven't already) so you know which end it is coming from. Hope this helps.

i didn't send mine back, I took the screen off and pressed the speakers. the popping and crackling is gone, every now and then it comes back, so I press them again. eventually they will fail I assume, but what do you expect from something so cheaply and poorly made?
