Start by moving the speaker away from all computers and such. Why not turn off everything but the speaker. If the noise is still there, the problem is inside the speaker.

Hey ghellquist,

I tried that so like you, I believe the problem is inside the speaker.
Since they're active speakers, someone said it could be broadband (white) noise due to noisy transformer and suggested I replace the transformer or put a shielding can around it (I'm not very savvy re: speaker repair...).

Thanks!

What speakers are they? Can the seller be convinced that it should be covered under guarantee? Have you talked to the repairman the shop uses, maybe this is a well known problem with a simple well-known solution guarded by the guild of repairmen?

Anyway, you seem to have nailed down which box has the problem. How to solve it is next question. I have learnt to never believe I know the solution in advance, it is like solving an Agatha Christie murder puzzle.

Lot´s of questions.

lol! The advantage with an Agatha Christie murder puzzle is that you can always go see the last few pages to know what's happened!

My speakers are Yorkville's YSMP1 (yeah, I know...). I swore I'd never get any gear from them, but I shopped around less than 2 years ago and they were surprisingly amazing considering the reputation. Never had any problem before.

You have a point and I'll see if they can help me... (that's the part where you should wish me luck!)

I think I'll start by having the whole thing estimated. I know it's probably just a part that has to be changed, so there shouldn't be any big problems...

Thanks again!
