Silent hissing from OB-6 panel

Silent hissing from OB-6 panel
« on: March 17, 2025, 12:08:49 PM »
Hello,

I've had my OB-6 for a few years now, but only recently, after a while, I noticed a constant hissing noise coming from the control panel or from under the hood. I can't pinpoint the source, as it seems to stay the same no matter where I put my ear. It sounds a bit like carbonation escaping from a loosely closed soda bottle.

I've googled similar experiences but haven't found anything comparable.

Does anyone here recognize this type of noise and know what causes it? I can't say if it's always been there and I've only just noticed it.

Thanks in advance.
Christian

My guess is it’s the power supply.  Next time I have my OB-6 module on I’ll put my ear up to it and see if I hear the same thing.
OB-6 module, Take 5, TEO-5, plus many other synths.

Thank you, that’d be helpful - however, I hope you won't hear anything! Thanks!
