Tried ground loop isolator but still getting static noise

[xecure]

Hi guys, I'm new here. I have a set of speakers that always has a static noise when i play something on the TV. When initially turning on the TV it does not make much of a static/hissing noise (maybe very slightly) but as soon as I put on Netflix and play something the hissing starts. I've actually purchased a ground loop isolator to help fix this problem but still no luck. There is no static noise when using the speakers on the TV itself. Any idea what else might be wrong?

You have not told any important details of you system. As you describe it, ti does not sound like a ground loop. On first hearing it sounds as though there is an item of equipment in the chain that has inadequate signal to noise ratio, or you have a gain ratio problem.

What TV do you have and how are you connecting these speakers? Where is the volume being controlled from? You are probably getting a noisy signal from the TV and the speakers are just amplifying the noise.

Have you tested the speakers with another device? Like a phone or ipod or something?

A low frequency hum is generally associated with a ground loop.

Isn't ground loop more like a hum? Agree with TLS, I don't think static would be a ground loop.

HI! I have a car, and it makes a noise, what's wrong with it?

There are people who really want to help you out here, but you aren't providing any information that can actually help us to help you. We need to know not only what equipment you have. The make AND MODEL of each piece of gear in the audio/video chain, as well as the connections you are using to make those pieces of gear work.

An ancient A/V receiver or a speaker bar hooked up with a 3.5mm stereo jack in some weird fashion could be the heart of your headaches. Cheap cabling is often the issue and it could be a mismatch between what you are using all around.

But, please provide more than just the bare minimum so that you can get an answer which may actually be helpful.
