Is it normal for Blockland to have faint operating noises?
<< < (3/3)
Rotondo:
If you have speakers built into your monitor chances are that's where the noise is coming from. Most speakers of that type are relatively cheap and suffer from interference.

You can test this buy simply unplugging the audio cable in the back of your monitor.

Sometimes this can be fixed by lowering the output volume on the monitor itself, but honestly I'd just get a decent pair of speakers to replace it.

Unrelated to this problem monitors themselves can often hiss at certain brightness levels, I don't recall why this happens but I assume ghosts.


Edit: to add one more thing, I'm not exactly sure why torque/blockland seems to cause more noises/interference than other games I'll have to look into this some more.

Minecraft is making my card (AMD 7950) give off weird noises as well, so it's not only blockland. This wasn't happening with my Nvidia GTX 550TI so I am guessing it is something with AMD cards/drivers. New drivers came out yesterday for AMD, I will test them and tell you if it keeps doing this. I will do a video also if that helps.

It happens in Minecraft and a few other games.

It happens in MC and BL only, whenever I hear the sound I want to quickly hurry up thinking I'm going to ruin the card. I thin it has something to do with the GUIS, because if I hit join a game on Blockland the sound goes away but hitting start a game doesn't make it go away, it only does so once I start loading the same. Same with minecraft.
Demian:
My headphones make these noises as well but with anything I do. Moving my cursor, browsing the web, idling, etc. I can fix it by changing the volume.

Check if your microphone is turned on. It might create some static that can annoy you.
