I recently bought a 32" Sony Bravia (32L4000) LCD HDTV and I'm noticing a hiss from the speakers. Its not very loud but I have pretty sensitive hearing and its annoying. The TV sits in a pretty empty room so the hiss is somewhat amplified. Think air very slowly leaking out of a tire.

It will not go away with channel changes or input source changes. It only goes away if I mute the TV speakers or turn up the volume louder to drown it out.

- Settings all default
- Regular Cable (coming from a split source)
- No electronic objects near the TV/plugged into its own power bar.

This is my first lcd as i finally got rid of 16 yr old TV. Now, is this hiss normal with lcd tv's? Thanks
