    Default Is my new webcam haunted? LOL

    I am having issues with the audio on my webcam. It's a new logitech C170 I just bought. The picture is fine. But I opened my cam stream in another window.... and there were all these weird noises in the background coming from my cam.... and I know they weren't coming from anywhere in the room. I am using the encoder on SM. I tried playing around with the audio settings, but still did the same thing. No other issues with the encoder or cam, besides the audio. Does anyone know what could be causing this? or how to fix it?

    Record it and upload it to youtube, then post here. If you have something like a cell phone or other electronic device nearby, it can make interference noise. But hauntings do exist too.

    I lived in a haunted house about ten years ago in the desert, and my computer would turn on and off by itself. Strange noises would come out of it, and it sounded like some person's deep, garbled voice. It would also have strange scribble across the screen. I knew it was because of the haunting, because my computer worked fine in my last place, and it started to happen almost right away when I moved in.
    I never believed in this kind of thing, but with all the other terrifying things that happened in that house, I'm now a believer in hauntings. Whatever that was, it definitely wasn't 'Casper the friendly ghost!'
    I broke my lease, and everything was back to normal in my new home from then on.

    you are hearing feedback. That is it.

    What you are hearing is the YOUR own noise.
    I check my stream daily and always hear feedback, funky noises.

    check your stream from your cell phone and I can almost promise that you will not hear it

    Thanks everybody. I will try positioning my webcam differently when I log in later, to see if that takes care of the interference. I did have it close to a speaker and a cordless phone.


    Someone mentioned a haunting that did strange things to their comp. Sounds similar to what used to happen in my sister's house. She used to get voices coming out of speakers, when there was no TV or other electronic device turned on. A fire would suddenly start in her fireplace, when she hadn't used it recently. Lights would come on by themselves, and the alarm on the stove would suddenly wake her up in the middle of the night. I think it be kinda cool if someone had a spirit, and it appeared on web cam with them sometime LOL.
