<![CDATA[Noisy while running]]>Hi there,

Is it normal that the fire device is quite loud in operation i.e. it makes a high pitched beeping noise. I have another core2 and it is much quieter.

Is this normal or is there something wrong with my device?

Thanks for your feedback.

Regards,
Mathias

quiet

Thank you for testing. Good to know it's not only me 😂

I wonder what the reason is. Do you think we should add a post in the bugs section?

I just tested both on the same Fire hardware device. v1.7.0 is more quiet than v1.7.1. Not totally silent, but there is a regression when flashing v1.7.1 (it's more noisy).

Noise is not very loud but did not expected it as I own a core2.

Just search this forum and internet and you will see. My Fire is more noisy than my Core Grey. The Core2 is much more quiet (the audio circuits were redesigned in the Core2 hardware).

The way to quiet it some in software is to write a 0 to DAC pin 25, however, it doesn't totally silence it. some people's ears (like mine) can still hear some noise.

There is a hardware mod if you care to do it on your device...
