i hear this "beeping" as i describe it, as well, and have found others on youtube that experience this as well with this camera, it is quite annoying, although its not nearly as loud as you make it seem.. most people dont notice it even, but once you do it is quite annoying... i wondered if i got a defective unit but after finding many others that also have this it seems to be just how the camera is , i still have 20 some days to return it and i probably will because of this, oh well.

I just purchased the G9 also and I noticed a "noise" I am not sure what it is either, did you ever find out and is your camera still working ok?

I believe the clicking noise starts when the screen is too close to one of the cameras. Perhaps you should move the cameras to another place in the room and see if the clicking goes away.

I don't shoot video with the camera. Only sounds I've encountered are a beep when auto focusing and click when you take a picture.

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 had the same issue (well... and still have it)... the thing is the volumen is so, so low, that you have to almost speek directly to the camera and not farther than a few centimiters... 2 o 3 cms., then you will hear the sound on the App. In few words, its useless for baby monitoring. My cameras are now "safe" in a drawer... :S

Yes, same result here. Really unhappy as the noise was unacceptable when used with my Cannon Rebel T2i

I hear a hammering sound when I record video as well...that's a real drag because the video itself looks great. What have people done about this?

Dear, feel free to contact us, most time the PAN/TILT is soomthly, have you heard any sound when camera pan/tilt rotation?

yes that noise happens when you zoom! It's the sound of the motor running. I haven't seen how to stop it.

Yes we have this too...plus a ticking noise! My husband just noticed it, and was like what the heck? You can actually hear it on the video while playing back if we are recording in absolute silence. When he shuts off the auto focus the ticking noise stops. I would be interested in others with this camcorder to comment on the noise.....I mean is this a defect or something that is just the way the camcorder is?

I've been using the camera for about 3 months or so and was hesitant about using the auto focus/auto exposure because my last Canon video camera not only made noise, but it continuously unfocused and refocused throughout recording. I switched to all auto mode just to "see" how bad it was and haven't gone back since. I use Premiere Pro editing software and the audio is clean (we run a small soundboard and there's a tiny bit of hiss from there that the denoiser filter removes completely). But we hear no camera noises at all.

I have the same camera. It's perfectly normal. It's just the camera focusing.

I seem to have the same problem. There is a faint buzzing/hissing noise (coming from the lens area) whenever the camera is on, and while filming video this noise is magnified many times. What I'm wondering is whether this is just a standard problem, or whether there is a subset of these cameras that make the buzzing noise, or whether there is anything we are doing "wrong". Edit: Well, after some more testing and looking at video taken with this camera posted on youtube (there are plenty), it seems like this is normal. Slightly annoying, but I don't think it's noticeable when you are filming outdoors. Anyway, I'm stil happy with this camera as it has an amazing combination of features, and I can really find no other faults with it. The 720P video quality is as good as or better than I would expect, and the sound seems great as well (aside from the buzzing).

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.

Hi TonyD. No, there is not. There is a mic on each camera. When you select a camera, you can hear what is going on in that vicinity. However, you cannot communicate, or speak, to the outside camera. In my opinion, you can hear better than you can see. Hope this helps. They are nice little systems for no more than they cost. I just find it very disappointing when the people selling merchandise won't stand behind it. Good luck.

You may have another sound source connected, such as a headset with a microphone. If so, that sound input may override the camera's mike.
