With further testing, I noticed that touching my metallic keyboard would also silence the buzz, even whilst touching the Android phone or under any other circumstance in which there was a buzz. One thing I noticed was that touching the headphone jack, whilst touching the Android phone that increased volume, would silence the buzz. I slowly discovered that touching different objects, even when the headphones were not plugged into the speakers, would result in volume changes of this buzz. I thought at first that this was due to my bodily position somehow stretching the wire, but with further testing I confirmed that my Android phone was the culprit. Of course, listening to almost any other kind of music proved annoying since my earbud would randomly, intermittently buzz at me.įinally, one day, I noticed that when I touched my Android phone, the buzzing sound would increase in volume. This was incredibly annoying and my only remedy was to listen to loud electronic music which blended in with the buzz and made it relatively unnoticeable.

and then a buzzing noise would come out of nowhere. Sometimes the earbud would be perfectly silent (as it's supposed to be). It wasn't loud either, but it was loud enough to be noticeable and annoying.įor the longest time, I had no clue why this would happen. It would randomly appear for arbitrary periods of time and then vanish. This buzzing sound was not constantly there. Over time, I noticed a certain dull, electrical buzzing sound in my right earbud which occurred when I turned the noise-cancellation on. You will see why this may be important to note later. My keyboard happens to be a metallic Apple keyboard. So I have a pair of Bose noise-cancellation headphones that I plug into my keyboard every night to charge them (via my keyboard's USB port).
