Audio feedback is the ringing noise (often described as squealing, screeching, etc) sometimes present in sound systems. It is caused by a “looped signal”, that is, a signal which travels in a continuous loop. In technical terms, feedback occurs when the gain in the signal loop reaches “unity” (0dB gain).

Negative climate feedback is any process where climate feedback decreases the severity of some initial change. Some initial change causes a secondary change that reduces the effect of the initial change. This feedback keeps the climate system stable.

The main positive feedback in global warming is the tendency of warming to increase the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, which in turn leads to further warming.

Positive climate feedback is a process that is one type of climate feedback wherein some initial change in the climate causes some secondary change that in turn increases the effects of the initial change, essentially magnifying the initial effect.

A negative feedback system has three basic components: a sensor, control center and an effector.

Suggestions on how to interrupt the feedback loop

1. Move the microphone closer to the desired sound source.
2. Use a directional microphone to increase the amount of gain before feedback.
3. Reduce the number of open microphones – turn off microphones that are not in use.
4. Don’t boost tone controls indiscriminately.

The higher pitched and more irritating ‘buzz’ is typically found emanating from the loudspeakers and is usually caused by a ground loop. The most common cause of hum is the ground loop – fortunately it is also the easiest to solve.

Rob Schultz One way to create a ground loop is to power inter-connected equipment from different AC outlets: The ground travels through the shielding of the signal cables. Anything that breaks the loop will remove the noise, and the easiest way to do it is to power everything through a single AC socket.

The main reason why they are making noise is because the power supply is switching at predesignated frequency. Thus, if the wires are not wound tightly, the wires will vibrate and create noise.

How to find and fix hum in 3 easy steps

1. Turn the volume control up and down. Does the hum in your speakers go up and down with volume? Take note so we can come back to this answer.
2. Select different inputs. Does the hum go away?
3. Disconnect all inputs. Remove the cables connecting the receiver, power amplifier, or device powering your speakers.

This hum is caused by the ground voltage potential differences among the system components, power cords and audio/video cables. If the subwoofer is plugged into its own outlet, plug the subwoofer’s power cord into an outlet shared by the other components. Use an extension cord if necessary.

Why does my subwoofer make a humming noise? The voltage difference between a subwoofer electrical ground and the equipment ground can cause it to hum. This can happen because of the irregular current flow in your audio cable. Turning on the volume too high can also cause a hum.

Not unless you’re sleeping right next to it. Humming sound in power transformers is generated due to continuous realignment of magnetic domains in the magnetic core in each cycle. This create high mechanical stress in the core leading to compression and elongation of the core.
