Hi beoworld,

I have recently bought a Stage and I noticed that when the product is in standby there’s a very low continuous buzzing noise coming from around the area where the LEDs and buttons are located.

This does’t happen if the product is ON. Only when I put it in standby the buzzing starts right after the speakers shut off.

It’s very annoying because I have it in my bedroom and I can hear the noise at night while going to sleep.

I tried different mains cable and outlets around the house. Also tried both wired and wireless connection.

Is it normal or should I return it? 

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

mine also have some really not noticable noise when in standby, but I have it in my living room so not really bothering me at all.

Thanks for the response. Mine is located in a small 15sqm bedroom, dead silent during nighttime. Hopefully that standby buzz it’s not a generic issue.

I’ll plan a visit to the store and probably return it if the one on display buzzes too in rstandby.

I have two BS stages. One in the bedroom and one in the study. Both make no noise.

perhaps stupid question but are you sure it is really on standy by and not a mute? Happed to me one time.

Thanks for the answers. No, the buzz starts right after I put it in standby.

If the music is MUTED there’s no noise. I can only hear the hiss from the amplifiers and that’s normal.

This might be a grounding issue with my place. But I have other BO products like Core+BL17+18+19 that don’t buzz. Even my old Beolit 12 that caught a few rains outside doesn’t complain.

I will investigate and write back here.
