I guess the most accurate way of describing the noise is it’s like a white/pink noise that seems to raise in pitch and get quieter until it stops after about a minute. This happens with or without audio present. I haven’t tried passing audio while the noise is happening though to see if that makes it stop, if that’s what you’re asking. I’ve only passed audio through it after the noise has subsided. Upon powering the monitor on, there’s about 5 seconds of silence before it starts. I haven’t left the speaker on for a prolonged period of time since replacing the caps out of fear of the problem getting worse. The input level on the speaker has no effect on the volume of the noise. I’m not sure what you mean by speaker side but if you’re referring to left or right, no other speakers are being used while I’m working on this. I also haven’t tried turning the power on and off with the noise still present. I typically wait a few minutes before powering it on again. Again, to avoid damaging things any further. Another detail that may be worth including is that this seemed to start after moving so perhaps it is just a loose connection, cracked solder joint, etc. I’ll look into these other scenarios when I get home from work though. Thanks much!
