Headphone Noise

I just recently started using headphones(sony Mdr700) at night for music. For some reason I get some strange high pitched itchy noise in the background when there is no sound playing. If I raise the gain the noise goes up to. Im pretty sure this has something to do with my equipment. I have my headphones connected to my mixer and mixer connected to the computer.

i dont know what an itchy noise is

if it is a high pitched TONE, i honestly have nfi what that is. if it is static, then it is interference - most likely on the cables or from the ground. the easiest way to troubleshoot the later problem is to try turning things off.

i'm pretty sure tinnitus doesn't have a volume knob

It's probably just noise from the mixer. Buy a better one or just ignore it.

By interface im guessing u mean sound card? I have an SB live!

Why the hell would I have Tinnitus? Can you explain a bit more before shooting out serious things like that?

I can hear the noise coming from my monitors as well if I put my ears close enough to the tweeter during silence.

Yeah it's interference, my computers inbuilt soundcard does this and you can hear a faint beep when you click the mouse too. Doesn't happen on my Audigy though.

Yea it makes sense now! Well I should be buying a good soundcard within the next 2 months so that problem will hopefully be solved.

it might not be your soundcard at all... if your computer has a noisy ground, you will have the same problem with a new card...

I have Sony MDR-7506 and I know exactly what you're talking about.

In my case, I have a keyboard with back lit keys. If I put my hand or the headphone cord on or near the keyboard when the keys are lit up I get a high pitched annoying noise too. Its only really noticeable when nothing is playing in the headphones, but that I guess depends on how much interference you're getting.

Like others said, try relocating some of your cables.

As far as for these headhpones being hard on the ears - I agree. When strong bass hits at high volume my ears feel like they're in a vacuum or something Are open-air headphones much better in that respect?
