We reported this in mid June. Yes, after enough people complained, they fixed it.

And now, its back. Its started on two of my V4.

In case anyone missed this, I also figured out how to temp turn off the speaker if you are interested. I did this before they fixed the problem. Glad I did, not I can prevent a couple of my hidden cams from giving away their position because the problem has started again.

Mod for the V3/V4 Speaker Making it Easier to Change

I added an easy way to unplug and plug in the camera’s speaker. Unplug to connector. Please do not read this as a criticism of Wyze. I like Wyze products. I am confident the recent camera speaker interface to an Echo Show is certainly not on purpose. I want to believe it’s an accident and will be corrected. But it also highlights the complexity or these products else, someone on either side would immediately know how to arrest the issue and it would not have lasted 24 hours. If it’s this com…

Yes, happening with mine as well. Hopefully the fix will be faster than last time.

Same here. My V4 started the buzz last night and continued today.

@WyzeJasonJ Can you have the team look into this again?

[Sam_Bam]

Can’t speak for the others, but the noise is about 1/3 as loud this time as it was first time.

Is this only happening on v4 cameras right now? Also, is this happening with Alexa integration again like last time?

@WyzeJasonJ,

When this happened a couple of weeks ago I was hearing the machine gun static out of the v2 doorbell. Disabling the skill fixed the noise until you guys fixed it and I was able to re-enable the skill.

All seemed normal until I saw this post. I retested and am not seeing the issue. The v2 doorbell made a ding dong sound, my PS V3 picked it up as a chime, Alexa announced it, and I received an app notification and a call on the Samsung S24 Ultra. All as expected. The only caveat is from the time I pushed the doorbell until I could waddle back to the office where the V4 is located took ~10 seconds. It’s possible that something happened in that 10 seconds. I’ll retest when the other half gets home. If something changes I’ll post it. Otherwise I seem OK.

Just for the record.

I just checked my V4 cameras with my Echo Show 8. The loud buzzing noise is indeed back. Admins please pass this along so we can have this fixed again.

Has anyone continued to have this problem?

I have turned one of mine with the Buzz back on and its not buzzing.

If Wyze fixed it, I have seen no where/no one report that its should be resolved.

So, now we don’t even get that info? …from Wyze?

[Saff522]

I have been checking this thread every day for any updates, nothing new posted. I just checked my cameras using the Echo Show 8 and the loud buzzing is gone. I’m just thankful that it’s working correctly. Hope this problem doesn’t keep popping up.

I reenabled my Alexa routine yesterday and so far no buzzing has returned. Hopeful.
