crackling noise

Hello y'all! I just upgraded my tv to a newer and bigger model (Samsung TU700D), and I've been hearing crackling noises at random during movies or tv shows. After a couple days of troubleshooting, it looks like it is coming from the AppleTV. Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing this and how to fix it? My AppleTV is 5 years old, but is updated to the latest OS.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 15

Then I'd look at your network. Please try the following in the order listed, yes even if you have done one or more of the steps already.


  1. Unplug your modem from it's power source for 2-3 minutes and re-plug in.
  2. Unplug your router from it's power source for 2-3 minutes and re-plug in.
  3. Unplug your Apple TV from it's power source for 2-3 minutes and re-plug in.
