Does anyone know why I would get a buzzing noise in my TV near the speaker when I use my TV in the 5er and not when I plug it in at home? It just started doing this and I've had the TV for 3 years. Funny thing is that when I went home to plug it in, there is no buzzing noise?

Probably 100V line noise from genny/invertor. You might try an inline filter, from a place like Radio Shack.

On a guess. you have an inverter in the trailer and either 1: It is powering the TV or 2: It's operating while the TV is operating..

Also it's a MSW inverter, not a true sine wave

MSW inverters can (and often do) cause buzzing in the audio, sparkles or "Hula effect" on the screen and need NOT be powering the tv to do this, Just need to be making radio frequency interference, which is what they do best

This is also the first time the buzzing noise has ever surfaced in 3 years of using the TV at RV parks. I wonder if it has to do with the RV park itself, since its never happened before. I guess I'll know for sure the next time I camp.
