I posted some here, I think you can hear the noise best in Note 1. It almost sounds like a forceful exhale or something. Is it just me hearing it?

I only say that because it was the same on the one I tested in store so that’s two examples. Some specific examples are On the Privia HG, when I play the B4 loudly a few times I’ll hear a sort-of hard to describe hiss sound. On the Privia NY, when I play C2 or C#2 loudly I can hear something like blowing wind or a crashing wave in the background. Now that I know what listen for I actually do hear it on the speakers but it’s not as easy to notice as with headphones. I also tried turning off all of the acoustic simulator options and fiddled with all of the tone modify options in the casio music editor but nothing removed these noises. As soon as I get my hands on a new USB drive I’m gonna save a recording and see if I can hear it on my computer. My best guess is that it’s just part of the samples but if no one else hears it, it just doesn’t make any sense! Edit: Also I can hear the noises better when I turn the Brilliance Up!

thanks everyone for the advice. I went to my local Guitar Center to test out another S7000 and other headphones and learned a few things. 1. My Sennheiser’s came with a faulty 6.3mm cable 2. Even with a GOOD cable, all S7000’s have a faint hiss/crunch sound that intermittently sounds in the headphones when certain notes are played. Mostly on the grand piano tones. I’m not sure if this is some frequency that only certain people can hear or if it’s just something I need to get used to. 3. I tried the same headphones on other Yamaha’s and Roland’s around me and the sound was not there. It’s exclusive to this model. I wonder if it is something related to the use of samples in their grand piano sounds instead of it being computer generated. It’s too bad because I much prefer the sampled tones.

Tried the factory reset, no luck… It really is so odd because if I plug the headphones into the piano and play music bluetooth through my phone, I can hear the fuzziness, but if I plug the headphones directly into my phone it sounds fine. I guess it is the fault of the Casio. So disappointing for such an expensive product.

I don’t have the proper cords for that at the moment

It is happening on the grand pianos but also electric pianos and many other tones, but not ALL tones. For example it doesn’t seem to happen with a lot of brass and strings instrument tones

I just got a new PX-S7000 and everything is great except when I connect headphones. I have a nice new pair of Sennheiser HD599 headphones and they sound perfect when connected to a phone or computer, but when connected to the keyboard there is a certain static, hissing, buzzy noise that is very annoying. The noise is only triggered when certain notes on the keyboard are played. Some notes cause it and others don’t, so it must be related to the pitch frequency somehow. However, what’s even more strange is when I connect the headphones with the 6.3mm jack there are many more notes that cause the static than there are when connected with the 3.5mm jack. I also tried it with a cheaper pair of headphones and although the sound quality is much worse, there are less notes that produce the static noise but it still happens on a few. Also, the Casio itself doesnt make any noises like this when playing from the built in speakers. Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this? Any advice would be much appreciated!
