My Speakers Makes Crackling Noises!

Hi Friends,

My Speakers make crackling noises. Any idea what can be the cause of the issue and How can I get it fixed?

All of them or only one of them? Also probably the amp is the problem, not the speaker, unless your speakers are active with amps built in. If it is not all the speakers, you can switch the cables and rule out the speaker being the problem. Let's say the right and left are making a noise, but the center is not. Switch right speaker cable with center speaker cable. If noise stays with right speaker then it is a speaker problem. If noise switches to center, then it is an amp problem. Do the same with the left speaker cable and center speaker cable.

I too would be interested to hear if it's all your speakers or not. Does it happen all of the time? Does volume make a difference?

Which amp and speakers are you running? If it's only one speaker and they are pretty old, it could be the surrounds. If it's all your speakers then it could very well be the amp.

Even one speaker, it could be the amp. Just need to test as I recommended. Then if it is a speaker, time to investigate. As you said, if speakers are old, it could be cracked/missing surround foam. Easy enough to replace, if you can get the replacement part.

It's from all of them and Happens When I get it played from a laptop. Any thought if this could be the culprit behind it? I am really starting to doubt that.

Sorry, I missed seeing this. Unless your speakers are powered, then you have an amp. If all speakers are making this noise, I would bet that the amp is the problem.
