My Ongoing Battle with a Buzzing Apple Studio Display: A Call for Resolution

Ah, got it! That makes a lot of sense, and I appreciate the clarification. Actually, involving others to independently verify the issue has already happened to some extent. My wife, daughter, and a friend have all spent time with the display in different settings and have confirmed they hear the annoying sound too. So, we're on the same page about the sound being a real issue, not just something I'm noticing on my own.

Moreover, I’ve conducted my own investigation online and discovered hundreds of similar complaints from different users experiencing the same issue with their displays. This indicates that the problem might be more widespread than initially thought, raising questions about the true extent of this issue across various units.

Based on your advice, I’m planning to further validate these findings by loaning out my display for independent testing in a completely different environment—without my presence. This should provide an unbiased confirmation of the issue. I’ll make sure to update here with the results of this experiment. Thanks for guiding me towards this comprehensive approach!

Oh, definitely! I went down that road too, thinking it might be something about where the display was positioned. So, I tried moving it around my house to different spots, and I even took it over to a friend's place to see if anything changed. Nothing did, the buzzing just followed along.

At first, I wondered if it was something to do with the grounding in the electrical setup at my place. So, I had some electricians come over to check out all the cords and our distribution board, just to make sure everything was up to snuff. They gave everything a thorough look and told me that from their end, all systems were go—no issues with the grounding or anything else electrically related in my home.

So, yeah, after all that, it seems like the mystery buzz is a bit more about the display itself than anything else around it. It's been quite the adventure trying to figure this out!

Nope, I don’t use any electronic hearing devices or have any implants that could be picking up the noise. Actually, your idea of loaning a similar display to test in my environment is something I’ve been considering as well! It seems like a great next step to really nail down whether the issue is with my specific unit or something else at play.

I’m planning to go ahead with this approach and will definitely share my findings here. Fingers crossed we get to the bottom of this soon, and I appreciate the suggestion! It’s all about figuring this out one step at a time.

Today, I made a point to visit a store showcasing the Studio Display, timing my visit right before closing to minimize background noise. I hoped to discern if the buzzing sound I've been experiencing was present in their display units as well. Remarkably, I detected a similar buzz from the display in the store, mirroring the noise from my own unit post-repair.

Motivated by this discovery, I plan to extend my investigation to at least five more stores to determine the prevalence of this issue. At this juncture, I must express my disappointment in how a product like the Studio Display could be released with such an intrusive sound. For now, I'll withhold further comments until my research is more comprehensive.

To lend credence to my observations, I've included a video capturing the buzzing sound. In a quiet setting, the noise is unmistakably noticeable and quite bothersome.

I recently got a new none Apple 27-inch monitor and noticed it makes a soft buzzing noise. It's not as loud as the noise from another fancy monitor I had before, but I can still hear it, which bothers me a bit. This made me think that maybe the part inside these monitors that gives them power might be the same or very similar.

I also noticed that some computers in the apple stores don't make this noise at all; they're completely quiet, for example iMacs. It's really interesting, and I wonder why that is.

I'm thinking about maybe trying to figure out why this is happening by looking inside the monitors myself. But before I do that, does anyone have any ideas? Why do you think some monitors are quiet and others buzz? I'd really like to know what you think!

Hey everyone, I recently got my Studio Display back from the Genius Bar after my second visit. They spent a week investigating the static electricity buzzing sound I reported. Different technicians looked into it but couldn't confirm the issue. I even tried to check it myself in the store by connecting it to a MacBook Pro, but the store's noise and music made it impossible to hear anything.

Once I got home and tested it in a quieter setting, the buzzing sound was still there. Interestingly, I noticed that the sound sometimes goes away if I keep my head still for a while, but it comes back when I move my head left or right. It seems like our brains might be trying to tune out the annoying noise over time.

As it stands, I'm really frustrated 😔. It seems the Apple Technicians did their best, but the issue might be beyond what regional specialists can handle. It looks like Apple itself needs to address and resolve this problem.
