Sudden loud static noise on bluetooth headset

This has happened connected to a Bluetooth to 3.5 adapter by Avantree. I would expect this would aso happen connect to a bluetooth stereo in a car and could potentially cause an accident if the driver was suddenly startled by the loud white noise seemingly from nowhere.

I reported the issue the other day and attached a couple of analysis files so they could see what was going on. A couple of days later, I got the following response. So they ARE aware of it. Whether there will be a forthcoming bugfix within a reasonable time frame is another issue altogether. 🙂

Engineering has determined that your bug report is a duplicate of another issue and will be closed.

Good news, So, fingers crossed for 10.10.3 then.

I'd rather wait for that than mess about in the terminal.

Shame on you Apple! I just had this crazy loud white noise, it was really painful and puts my hearing at risk.

You guys should be sued over this!! I've really had it with apple now. So many flaws in recent products, but this really beats everything

my ears are still ringing 😠😠

The fact that it has gone on, unfixed in a public release after months, and they have known about it, they really should be sued. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there is some kind of class action suit brought against them for it. We are talking about permanent damage to people's hearing. That's liability folks.

But hey, what's a few million dollar loss off the back of Apple's billions?

I'm downloading Mac OS X 10.10.3, I'm going to test to see if this resolves the issue.

In my computer, the issue happens when I hear Bluetooth music and I also hear the line-in (I have my DirecTV 3.5MM audio out hooked up to the line-in part of my computer).

Bluetooth audio works, but static noise happens when I try to hear the Audio-In while listening to Bluetooth.

I hope this fixes the problem.

You got to love how Apple described this fix in the official OS X 10.10.3 Release Notes:

"Fixes an issue that might cause Bluetooth devices to disconnect"

The good news is that this issue has officially been put to bed. Hopefully no one has suffered any permanent hearing damage because of this.

Yes ... I have same problem ... I am using 2 bluetooth devices both Logitech Headset H800 and BT 95 Adapter

I have the Adapter connected to an amp and speakers so imagine the noise when that noise ramps up to full

I don't seem to be doing anything when it suddenly erupts

Any solutions ?

It appears that Apple has fixed one problem but introduced another. I'm happy the static issue is gone, but now my headphones (HBS-730) are too loud, even at the lowest volume level! I used to have this problem with my phone until an update fixed it. Hopefully 10.10.4 doesn't take too long and will fix the overall loudness issue.

No problems here like that. Which volume are you adjusting? The headphones or the Macs? Check the Mac's volume isn't all the way up when using the headphones.

I turn down the volume for both the headphones and my Mac. I even tried Option + Shift + Volume to get it to the lowest possible volume setting. I can hear the music with my headphones/earbuds around my neck.

Completely off-topic, but OMG, I had no idea the volume (and brightness, as it turns out) could be finely controlled doing the opt-shift thing. Thank you. One notch is too soft, but two is often too loud.

Hi guys same problem here. Just upgraded to yosimite last night and this morning had this static stops or whatever u called it while connected to my beats pill tried itunes or youtube no luck. Any other suggestions?

After installing Yosemite, if you're not on 10.10.3, make sure you've installed all the updates - hopefully that should fix it. Otherwise you may have a different problem.

It's a particular loud static burst noise (not bleeps or anything like that).

hi Stuartea71 got a fix already followed Performaman630 tips and it worked fine. btw im already on yosimite 10.10.3 but their is one update that is still on my App Store its the Thunderbolt firmware update 1.2, it wont update dont know why i already did everything. anyways as long us i can now play without the statics while playing on my beats them im good. thank you.🙂

I'm having this as well, across all my Bluetooth devices and with or without iTunes running

MBA 2013, OSX 10.10.4, various bluetooth headsets, various audio apps. iTunes 12.2.1

Steps to reproduce for me: play music or sound to Bluetooth, then shut the lid and let it sleep, wake up and any attempt to play music again. This will result in ear bleeding static noise.

Seems to be a Yosemite bluetooth issue.
