I want to figure out if my phone is defected, or if all Nexus' are like this.
About 3 seconds after sound comes out of the phone's speaker, do you hear a popping noise? It sounds like the speaker is almost turning off, but extremely late..
Thanks.
I'm sure your nexus is still a Canadian citizen but I think all our phones have this issue... some worse than others. I can barely hear mine. I have to bring the speaker right up to my ears to notice

Ya I have this issue from time to time.

Yup, same here. It has to be dead silent around me to hear the pop, but its always there. What's weird is that the first nexus I had, which was the titanium one, didn't have the pop sound. The white one I bought does.

More people mentioned this when nexus first came out. Didn't think much of it at the time. I had it happen a couple times though. Not for quite awhile though. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is frequent.
bow chicka wow wow.
didn't had anything like that with my nexus (white version, produced in february). maybe that was a problem with one of the earlier charges?

Like I said, I had an earlier titanium version that didn't make the sound but my new white one does.

I had my phone replaced by my carrier and my 2nd one does this.. very annoying...
Yep, a nexus ain't a nexus without some kinda defect. It's the nexus way

Yes my nexus does this too. Its been posted already.
Yes, but its so soft i'd have to put my ear right next to the speaker.
Ya, it's a low popping noise, but it's noticeable when you're using the phone in a very quiet environment
Both of my Gnex have the issue. One has a whining noise, the other a hissing for 3 seconds then pop. I'm sure it'll be solved if and when Google releases a software fix for it. It doesn't really bother me and I have very sensitive hearing, you just learn to tune it out. It shouldn't be doing this in the first place, but **** happens eh?
Yeah, this issue happens to me as well... though I was able to make it better. I pulled the battery for ~30 minutes and help power button with no battery to drain all current. After rebooting a few times, the issue seems to have diminished and I can only hear it when I have the speaker right up against my ear unlike before when I could hear it sitting on the desk.
Nope

My Galaxy Nexus is the GSM version, international. The charger is for Europe, so... it's not like the version for US, I believe. Don't know how different it is (aside from the connectors), and since chances are the people that are gonna answer me are from the US... oh well...
When the charger is plugged in to the wall socket, but the phone is not plugged in, it buzzes... the charger emitts a very high pitch, constant noise... I can hear it very well during day, with my window open (not too much noise going on, except for a few birds and a few distant sirens). During night... it's worse than the Chinese drop, lol.
Don't get me wrong - it's not LOUD, but given it's very high pitch... you get the point. The noise I'm talking about can be compared to those Ultra Ring ringtones you probably used to play to annoy others as a child... if you're around the age of 20, like me, lol. It's not THAT loud, but... Oh well.
If I unplug the charger, the noise begins to dissapear... it begins to oscilate, faster & faster, until it vanishes completely.
The same noise is being emitted by the charger when the phone is charging, but the battery level is above 85% or so, and the screen is off. The same very high pitch noise is there, constant, but with very short interruptions. The noise stops entirely as soon as I turn on the screen and re-appears about two seconds after I lock the phone.

The charger is the original Samsung one, which outputs 1A at 5.0V, so it's not some cheap Chinese charger or anything... What the hell is wrong with it? Is your charger acting the same?
I'm sorry if all this sounds complete rubbish & ridiculous to you, but... I ain't crazy, lol.
It happens. And you are crazy. Look at how much wrote to tell us the air is leaking out your power supply.
butter and jelly please...
Your observation does 100% cover with mine. Might be a capacitor doing this, but it's annoying, I agree.

The Galaxy Note seems to be using the same charger... a friend of mine has it, and he also complains it's making that noise.
A capacitor, that's what I thought, too, but since I can't really know which one is responsible... It hardly seems like it's normal, I mean I had HTC 1A chargers and they were all quiet .
So... no one else's chargers doing this?!
I have a charger bought from amazon, it does this. Same one that comes with the gnex

And it is different than my version, since you have 110V systems or whatever it was :-? with 3 plug connectors.

My charger that came with the Gnex whines too. However I know capacitors don't whine...It's most likely one of the coils/transformer/inductors inside the charger that is making the noise. I noticed that once it's charging it goes away too.

That's funny, cause no other charger I previously owned/use did this. HTC's 1A charger didn't do this, Motorola's 850mA charger didn't do this, Galaxy S2's 700mA charger (same as Galaxy S1) didn't do this...
I think it's because the charger is so small, yet so powerful, and since components are so tied together... Makes no sense, but I guess the technology used in chargers is not yet perfect haha.

WHINES - that's the term I was looking for. The charger whines, not buzzes, lol.
Coil noise... it actually makes sense, in the end. I didn't think it could make THAT much noise, though. Thank you .

It stops, yes, but once my phone's battery is past a certain level (say, 80% or so), the noise re-appears (not the exact same noise, but kind of), ONLY when the screen is off.
Just get a new charger, its defective for sure. Had one that did the same thing, it even got a little warm and it sounded like the "sound grenade" app. Pretty funny, plugged it into my friends room for a couple days and he couldnt figure out where the sound was coming from lol. Swapped it out with another one and no more high pitch annoying sound.

i think every samsung travel charger (the one included with the galaxy nexus, note, etc) make that high pitch noise
they are very cheap..just that..its of course annoing, but anyway it doesn't cause any problem to the phone

Once it reaches near full battery it'll lower down on the amperage, therefore it's like as if it isn't plugged in anymore.

As long as it's not harming my phone (which it's not), I'll keep it. Unless it starts to sound like lightnings, lol.
Can't swap it, so... I'm not gonna waste $5, haha.

Looks like less current = more noise; should've been the other way around, I guess, rofl.
Bit of a strange one, this...
When I unplug my charger (it's a UK one - I have an LTE 1705) it emits a noise for at least 2 or 3 minutes.
I can only hear it when I hold the thing near my ear, but it's definitely there. It sounds like a high pitched buzz or whistle and, I repeat, the sound is emitted when the charger is disconnected from the electricity.
Now, I must point out that I...well, "suffer" isn't the right word...have RF hearing. I'm able to hear RF noise from electrical components. It isn't tinnitus - I have that too (I'm a 44 year old metal-head), and they are completely different - I know if a TV is on in a house before seeing or hearing (normally) it, I can hear high-output LED torches, etc, etc, but this is the first time I've ever heard something that's not actually drawing power.
Is this something to worry about...?
I tot I was alone..
Mine emits a noise when the fone is charged.. its like a buzzing sound..
It disappears when I turn off the power or unplug it..
Also not sure if its something that I should be worried about..

This is a common issue and has been discussed in various places.. see my thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922112
It appears to be down to the current required for higher capacity batteries. I am not that savvy with electrical engineering but have been assured it's not a fault and nothing to worry about, just irritating though!

I always knew I had a better hearing capabilities than the average person because when we were studying different sounds frequencies in class I could always hear the frequencies that my classmates couldn't Now that I have my new GS4 and want to charge it Im hearing an extremely high pitched noise... that stops when i unplug the charger... I dont think im super human so im wonder if anyone has heard this or knows exactly what is causing this let me know... Thanks!
try leave the device in other room when charging
I know I had that same problem with my Galaxy Nexus charger. It only happened when I had the charger plugged into the outlet but no to the phone, it went away when I plugged the phone in... Who knows... it never affected functionality.

It's SATAN.
I've noticed the same. It's not superhuman hearing, I have terrible hearing from being blown up a couple times and got the audiology tests to back it up, but I definitely can notice it if I'm within 3-4 feet in a quiet room.
It's nothing to be worried about, I've heard the same from other chargers before. Probably something to do with Samsung upping their chargers to 2A.

There are certain Frequencies that people cant hear.. My mother or my sister couldnt hear it... Im not saying im super human just that everybody cant hear it... but yeah ill try to ignore it... its Similar to the popular "Mosquito Ringtone" of 2006
Does it sound like coil noise ("capacitor whine")? Defective/damaged/cheap/Poorly-designed caps make a distinctive high-pitched squeal.
Sometimes they'll function like that perfectly for years, sometimes they'll short out in a matter of minutes. Either way, I'd ask for a replacement.
Its gota b an inductor coil. Happens all the time to chargers. You can get a replacement since it wont last as long as it probably should. No problems short term.

My Nexus 7 produces static noise near the top of the device (in portrait) when the CPU is loaded (in game). It's easily noticeable when the speakers are muted. Exit the game and the noise immediately goes away. I don't think it's speaker noise because on the bottom side of the device I can barely hear it, probably just the same noise traveling thru the device from top to bottom. And it doesn't seem to be buzz from the screen backlight because it wouldn't depend on CPU load.
Anyone else has that?
Is this normal buzzing from the components? or could it be that I have a faulty capacitor or something in there that might end up failing?
I don't want to risk an exchange before determining if this is not common/normal since the only problem that I have otherwise is a mushy volume up button, which I can live with since it's still mostly functional.
Happens on all the games you tried? Strange.

It happens on any high CPU load. Even YouTube and opening a heavy app like AccuWeather triggers it.
It sounds like electric static noise not speaker static noise if that makes any sense. Like a bad PSU.

Well if you think it is a real issue you should RMA. That sucks. Hopefully you will get a better one.
Mine is on a truck right now. I hope it is good. Starting to have my doubt's after reading the sound issues.

It is the game, the volume control on this device is cheap and emits a static noise. The reason why you don't hear it out of the second speaker is because most games don't have support for stereo sound.
Sent from my Nexus 7
It seems to have quieted down. Couple of days ago I noticed it when I was in bed with the device at normal distance from my head. Now, same situation, I have to put my ear against the top part to even hear it.
I doubt it's speaker related because I just tried 3Dmark which has no sound + I had the sound muted and still heard the same screeching noise when I put my ear against it. And it sounds different than the static noise that everyone else is reporting at lower volume levels.
Maybe a few heat cycles were needed to put the components into optimal operating state. I'd say now the noise is almost normal for a consumer grade electronics.
