FS100 Audio Problem: Background Noise: Is anyone else having this problem?
1646576
I think I might have heard this as well. Does it sound like an old timey pocket watch ticking rapidly? That's what I heard on mine and I am returning my unit to Amazon for an exchange. Canon said it was defective. I'll try out the new fs100 and hopefully the same sound won't be present. Hope this helps.

I think you've gotten a lemon. I would consider returning them. I have no noticeable background noise with mine. Hope that helps.

We did not have this problem. But we thought there was a problem with the sound level and returned them for a replacement. Come to find out, it was a "user error."

Hi,Try turning up the tv volume (if you can control the tv's speakers to shut them off) and lowering the volume setting on the headphones.I've found that this approach decreases background noise.Michael

Try manual zoom instead. When using the automatic function, you're probably just hearing the mechanization. If you don't like manual zoom, try setting up an alternate sound capture device/location closer to your target, or remove some of that noise via a background sound reaction feature in your editing software.

I have not noticed it. But I use it only for playing DVD with sales info in the Salon. There is a lot of background noise there so I may not be as tuned in to it. Sorry. Ill hope someone else has a better answer for you.

I have not had the problem. Is there a mute button that might be the culprit?

In my setup there is no hiss or background buzzing in the background. I can have the volume knob at any volume setting and its dead silent with music off. The hissing and external noise might also be coming from your sound card, if your using onboard sound. I have my emotiva plugged into a Sound blaster Z gaming sound card. Hope this help answer your question.

Yes, I encountered the same issue. The best solution is to import the file into Audacity (free software) and then apply amplification. I usually added some EQ too because they sound too thin. Of course, if you are a purist, you would like to avoid this last step. As I mentioned in my review, mp3 recording here is a good idea but the technology used needs some tweecking. I hope this helpful.

i've never had that problem but i rarely use my laptop for audio i put all my music on flash drives then import it to my playstation 3 so i can use a fiber optic cable and upsample to 176.4 k it sounds amazing, much better than my laptop and a usb cable. by the way have you tried pangea audio's usb-AG cable? it has silver cables and sounds really good and it's not that expensive

My fs200 absolutely has the whir and clicking noises. I have not found a solution at this point.

This could be several different things. The most likely culprit is your sound card... if you want to get rid of it it for good, buy an audio interface.If you already have one, then I would make sure you have good shielded cables.

No not really, i had the same problem with this, there might be a solution somewhere, but I haven't found any. I just use an external audio recorder with Xlr inputs, I don't use these adapters anymore

From my experience and from what I have been told there is more or less no background noise
