Roku Ultra: periodic chirp sound followed by degraded sound

Jump to solution

So My Roku Ultra,  just does a CHIRP,  at unexplained times... TV off  SOUnd OFF,   especially at night or early mornings when the house is quiet, I will hear this Chirp or Beep sound coming from the Roku Ultra,  again,  TV is off, sound bar is off,   ?   It might Chirp Beep  one time in an hour, and I might not hear it again until later that night....but its does put off a Chirp.?  Any suggestions?

Our TV is an ONN Roku TV and it's constantly chirping. It's the kind of chirp that sounds like a smoke detector. It's completely unplugged from everything. Any luck fixing it? It's been unplugged for an entire day and it's still chirps! With no power source at all.

@nthfrl, are you sure there isn't a cricket trapped in your TV?

I have a roku streaming stick 1300 exhibiting the same problems. I also checked connections and turned things off unplugged and reset both tv and roku. Then I  changed batteries because it is time. The tiny chirp is almost unnoticeable, but now that I  read it here I  realize that is the source of the crazy chirp I could not find! I have already turned off sound leveling and night mode. Looking for a solve!!!

Welcome to the Roku Community, @Sweetyface!

We really appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention! We’re eager to work together with you to find a solution.

Do you have another TV to which we can connect the Roku Streaming Stick? If so, we recommend trying the Roku device on another TV to isolate where the problem is coming from and to determine if the issue persists. Also, could you please let us know if the chirping sound is experienced on all channels or only on a specific channel? 

We are looking forward to your prompt response. 

All the best,
Emman
