Anyone else have that happening pretty constantly?  Almost sounds like an electric shaver?

This round brought to by Buzz Balls. Reminding you that Supercross doesn’t just take Balls. It takes Buzz Balls.

If you're casting make sure the casting volume is turned up, not the TV volume.

I’m kind of an audiophile but I haven’t noticed anything weird with the audio.

This is the first time I’ve noticed it so far, I guess. I thought that someone was using a weed eater or something down the street but when I muted the TV, it stopped. Only during the broadcast, not the commercials. Watching through the preloaded app on our television.

It is very noticeable so it must not be for everyone which is even more bazar.

I've had the digital feedback sound every race this year, I noticed it doesn't do it on the comercials and prerecorded interviews on the broadcast like the superbowl pick segment they just did, but the second live race broadcast starts it comes back right away.  I've actually got used to it now lol

Yes, this is what I've been complaining about. Once you hear it you can't unhear it.

I thought I was about to stroke out, mini meltdown trying to figure out where that noise was coming from. I even checked to see if it was coming from my dog

It's in the basement, volume-wise. Probably 6dB below the broadcast signal. Sounds like two alternating pitches in about the same frequency range as tube bells.

I just noticed it at the restart of the 250 lcq. Sounds like alternating tones, kind of like an annoying old clock radio alarm i used to have.

This has been annoying me the last three races.  If I change to the Spanish audio it sounds fine.

Okay, I thought I was watching it through the app preloaded on my tv like I normally do, but my wife actually put Peacock on an hour or two before the race started and she did it through the Peacock app in our Xfinity box. I just changed to the TV app and it seems to have stopped for me now.

I’m watching on Peacock thru my Xfinity box and not hearing what you are describing.

Its really bad on my tv. Almost unwatchable. I am glad others noticed. 

Its been slowly getting worse the last 3 weeks.

You are right. Once I finally picked up on it I can't tune it back out.
