    My 50" Samsung makes this pretty loud buzzing sound. As far as I can tell its coming from the power unit not from the speakers. Happens when the sound is all the way down. It changes pitch as the picture changes on the screen.

    Is there anything I can do about it?

    Is this the Q7 model? I was thinking of getting this one myself!

    See if you can borrow a small UPS off someone... plug your plasma into that and see if it's still noticeable. Could very well be a grounding issue or a poor circuit that it's plugged into causing the issues.

    Yep, the PS50Q7H. I was searching about and the problem seems pretty widespread. I'll let you know if using a different socket does anything - I don't think I'll be able to get hold of a UPS.

    The TV came with 2 solonoids - don't know if this is the correct name - metal things that you see clipped around alot of cables to stop interfearance. Would putting these on any of the cable have any effect?

    Only one way to find out.. disconnect every cable, and reconnect one at a time, if the buzzing appears at any point you've found your problem, could very well be an RF cable if directly connected causing the problems.

    Buzzing is there when only the power cable is attached.

    Ah well, I'll just jack up the volume!
