I am assuming this should read 'Set top box'. What kind of cable are you using?

Usually the set top box connects via a SCART lead but yours may be HDMI if it is a very new set top box.

If you are using RCA plugs, you may have cross connected the wrong cables. The RCA cables should be colour-coded. RED and WHITE are for audio, Yellow is for video.

Best advice is to switch it all off, remove all the cables you attached, and start again. The instruction manual/user guide usually has an illustration to help you identify what your set up looks like - there are usually several examples.

If the cables you need did not come with the set top box, you will need to purchase them.

When you are connecting audio leads, you should use the 'audio out' on the set top box and the 'audio in' on your TV set.

It would help to know the EXACT model number of LG screen you have and the make and EXACT model number of the set top box.

Good luck.

Can you plug your TV directly to the TV and by-pass the cable box? if you can and the problem goes away then it's the cable box.

if the noise persist try a complete RESET of the TV, This will restor it to its original and new settings. You can find how to do this on the web site, manual or call Sony. If you do this and problem continues then you likely need a TV repair or new one.
Also remove any external sound device.
Best of luck

Too little information, what is the audio output device, what type of connection to the TV and what TV input are you using.
TV Inputs: Side Panel - 'Audio'
Rear Panel - 'HDMI In' , 'AV IN 1' , 'Component IN 1 & 2' , 'Audio (RGB/DVI)'

Toshiba HD ready TV ct 90158 makes high pitched sound

A high pitch sound can be a capacitor losing power it would sound a bit like a fire work. most have back up on the board but it put more pressure on them the more times you use the tv. would check them and replace. all of them can be 5 in a row in some models.

I have a few questions which will determine what your problem may be.

Did or does the set make a high pitched fan like sound or a high pitched whine?

What have you examined so far?

As far as a lamp it is unlikely it will cause such a sound but if you remove it look to see it is intact and not shattered.

Let me know

High pitched squeal

Hello, This sounds as if it could be a switching power supply problem or a ballast problem. Both will effect your power supply and cause malfunction in various subsystems (audio, screen control, control systems, and the like). I would suggest having a qualified TV repair technician look at the set. This is because there are no user servicable parts associated with this type of problem. I hope this helps, Thank you, Shuttle83 http://www.electron-age-technologies-llc.com

Loud, high pitched hum from speakers . . .

This is GroundNoise from the TV's Backlight.

Sorry, but unless you are a Technician, you will simply need to ignore it.

If you are a technician, you can fix this by grounding the Audio ICs to the Power Supply (details not provided)

High Pitch Noise on 42" PLasma Gateway TV

how old is your plasma TV? try check the switch / volume of the sound settings.. Sometimes, when you always increase the volume, it will tend to alter the limit of sound and causing the sound to provide sound undesiredness. I suggest to check it with a liscensed technician.

High pitched rattling not associated with TV audio

Quite possibly the HVT arcing, which will eventually fail.

The problem with them arcing is they can be doing damage to other components.

Best to have it checked by an experienced tech.

Weird noise over everything

According to the Samsung website: "The high pitched sound you hear is probably coming from the flyback transformer. The flyback transformer converts the relatively low voltage electricity that comes from the outlet in your home to the high voltage electricity needed to drive the cathode ray tube in your TV. It is not unusual for a flyback transformer to buzz softly when it operates. However, if the sound is loud and high pitched, it probably means the transformer is failing. To eliminate the sound, you will have to get your TV serviced."
