First post! as the title says, my speaker makes a buzzing sound whenever it's turned on. The model is Bose SoundDock Portable (link to bose site), I got it as a gift a couple years ago. I actually noticed the buzzing a year ago, but it was so faint that I had to put my ear next to the speaker to hear it properly. It didn't bother me if I turned the volume up. But recently the buzzing has become very noticable and it's become very distracting, like a ringing sound. I don't know if this info helps, but I've really only used the Sounddock as my Macbook Pro's speaker, about 15-25 hours of use a week. To get an idea of how loud I play my music on average, my room is roughly 14x20ft and from across the room it would be between moderate and quiet, too loud to count as background sound. Another thing I noticed is that when I plug in the laptop charger (not necessarily charging), the buzz becomes about half as soft.
So, is there any way to fix it? or at least reduce it... I've already read some other threads about buzzing speakers, but they have slightly different problems. I don't use any extra equipment with my speaker, only the cable and laptop.
thanks guys
