My TV keeps making crackling noises. How can I fix it?

Question

This is really annoying me. My TV keeps making crackling noises while I'm watching it. It sounds like a build up of static but I've got no idea what to do. Turning it on and off again makes no difference and neither does adjusting the volume or putting it on mute... and it's getting worse!!

Answer 1

you have a gremlin in your tv you need to kill it

Answer 2

Static build up on a picture tube is quite normal; you can often hear the discharge -- a kind of 'shooshing' noise -- when the TV is switched off. This static discharge is usually not enough to do damage to your set. A similar discharge can occur when there is a sudden reduction in brightness level but you don't usually hear this as the charge tends to be dissipated slowly, though you may become aware of it more in very dry weather. It is also possible that your house may be very dry, especially if your home has warm air central heating and is well insulated. If that is the case you might like to try an experiment with a room humidifier and see if that makes a difference.
