Being a sensitive piece of audio equipment, your turntable may be experiencing electrical/wireless interference from wireless devices nearby, such as routers, modems, microwaves, smart assistant devices, and streaming sticks. Often this is described as sounding like a helicopter. To resolve this, you will need to move the wireless device away from the turntable. You may also need to have it plugged into power in another outlet or if possible, another circuit separate from the turntable or speakers. - [Turntables](https://support.fluance.com/s/turntables?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.fluance.com/s/turntables?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Set Up](https://support.fluance.com/s/turntables?hsLang=en#set-up) - [Powered Speakers](https://support.fluance.com/s/powered-speakers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Powered Speaker Set Up](https://support.fluance.com/s/powered-speakers?hsLang=en#powered-speaker-set-up) - [Powered Speaker Troubleshooting](https://support.fluance.com/s/powered-speakers?hsLang=en#powered-speaker-troubleshooting) - [Passive Speakers](https://support.fluance.com/s/passive-speakers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Home Theater Set Up](https://support.fluance.com/s/passive-speakers?hsLang=en#home-theater-set-up) - [Home Theater Troubleshooting](https://support.fluance.com/s/passive-speakers?hsLang=en#home-theater-troubleshooting) - [International Resources](https://support.fluance.com/s/international-resources?hsLang=en) - [Videos](https://support.fluance.com/s/videos?hsLang=en) - [General Information](https://support.fluance.com/s/general-information?hsLang=en) - [Store Policies](https://support.fluance.com/s/store-policies?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Returns & Warranty](https://support.fluance.com/s/store-policies?hsLang=en#returns-warranty) - [Billing & Shipping](https://support.fluance.com/s/store-policies?hsLang=en#billing-shipping) - [Shipping](https://support.fluance.com/s/store-policies?hsLang=en#shipping) - [Billing & Payment](https://support.fluance.com/s/store-policies?hsLang=en#billing-payment) - ABOUT US - [Who We Are](https://www.fluance.com/about/) - [Fluance Blog](https://www.fluance.com/blog/) - [Professional Reviews](https://www.fluance.com/blog/category/professional-reviews/) - [Contests & Giveaways](https://www.fluance.com/contests-giveaways/) - [Why Choose Fluance?](https://www.fluance.com/why-choose-fluance/) - [Community & Environment](https://www.fluance.com/environmental-sustainability/) - [Glossary](https://www.fluance.com/glossary/) - PRODUCTS - [Turntables](https://www.fluance.com/turntables) - [Powered Bookshelf, Floorstanding Speakers](https://www.fluance.com/powered-bookshelf-floorstanding-speakers) - [Home Theater Systems](https://www.fluance.com/home-theater-systems) - [Floorstanding Speakers](https://www.fluance.com/floorstanding-speakers) - [Bookshelf, Surround & Bipolar Speakers](https://www.fluance.com/bookshelf-surround-bipolar-speakers) - [Center Channel Speakers](https://www.fluance.com/center-channel-speaker) - [Subwoofers](https://www.fluance.com/subwoofer) - [Accessories](https://www.fluance.com/accessories) - [Deals & Special Offers](https://www.fluance.com/deals-special-offers) - [Extended Warranty](https://www.fluance.com/extended-warranty) - [Discontinued](https://www.fluance.com/discontinued) - CUSTOMER SERVICE - [Support Center](https://support.fluance.com/s/) - [Contact Us](https://support.fluance.com/s/kb-tickets/new) - [My Account](https://www.fluance.com/customer/account) - [30 Day Risk Free in Home Trial](https://www.fluance.com/30-day-risk-free-in-home-trial) - [Fluance Policies](https://www.fluance.com/store-policies) - [Media Inquiries](https://www.fluance.com/media-inquiries) - [Bulk Purchases](https://www.fluance.com/bulkpurchases) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.fluance.com/privacy-policy/) - [Register your Product](https://www.fluance.com/registration/) - [Legal](https://www.fluance.com/legal/) © 2026 Fluance.
