The doorbell started making a loud intermittent static-like noise that lasts several minutes after any motion is detected.

If that’s a relatively new phenomenon, then it’s also been described in this topic:

Wyze Doorbell V2 Tone Chiming

Ive had my doorbell for about a year now with minimal issues but just recently ive been experiencing an issue where the doorbell will make a buzzing almost alarm noise that occurs constantly after the first detection. A power cycle will fix the issue only until the next motion recording. I assumed it was some sort of alert setting or soemthing but i cant seem to find any settings out of place. It is clearly tied to the activity of the camera as the distortion and tone frequency is tied to if its…

Wyze is tracking that one in this topic, as it now seems to be affecting a variety of camera models:

Loud Machine Like Noise Coming from Speaker

I am experiencing a loud machine-grinding like noise coming from the speaker on a V4. This noise cycles. I does it about 5-7 seconds (no, didn’t time it.) Then a 2-3 second wait and repeats. No stopping it without removing power. This is the second camera in about 5 months to do this. I simply pulled and stopped using the V4 the first time. This is a newer one. About two months old. It’s about 9:30 pm where I am. No one is roaming the street or sidewalk. No one for it to detect. Lucky me…

If you’ve submitted logs or if you want to reconnect your Video Doorbell v2 to reproduce the problem and submit a log, then there’s been a request for those in that topic so that the engineers can look into this.

Is this the experience of most people? Or have you had more positive experiences?

I’ve generally had positive experiences, and the Video Doorbell v2 is one of my favorite Wyze cameras. I also use Bulb Cam, Cam v4, Cam Pan v3, Cam OG, and Cam OG Telephoto. I haven’t experienced the recent “static-like noise”, but I also don’t have any Echo Show devices.

I haven’t had to replace any cameras’ power adapters but did have a power issue that I isolated to one Cam’s male Micro-B connector in the OEM cable. I found a third-party cable that’s a good fit and gives some extra length, and that solved that problem for me.
