If we are 'polling' for annoying noises ... I would like to know if any 9G's do this?

with any background noise or with the volume on even at a low level no one can hear the buzz.
Hope this helps.

I have worked very closely on the buzz issue and have a few remarks to help clarify the issue.
First, the buzz is almost identical from panel to panel, assuming we are comparing same models/sizes/generations. So changing a 5020 for another 5020 will yield little too no difference. Some may report a different buzz and I would respond that if the panels are not placed exactly in the same position and the seating is not exactly the same you can't accurately compare the panels buzz.
Second, Very few people can even hear the buzz. That's because most of us we lose our ability to hear the oscillating frequency at about 30 yrs old. For example, I have enjoyed and been blessed with "Golden Ears" and could hear better than most. A 5020 user asked me to stop by to hear his buzzing panel and no matter how hard I tried I could not hear any sound whatsoever while the 28 yr old customer hear the buzz. The moral of the story is my "Golden Ears" are in their "Golden Years".
Third, all panel buzz, and it may be true that Pioneer panels may buzz slightly more than some other panels as they bond the filter on the single glass panel. Their are significant image quality advantages in Pioneer design.
Forth, The radiation pattern is very weak and small and is located directly in front of the panel and can reach somewhere between 6' and 14'. So adjusting the height and angle of the panel can eliminate the buzz.
Fifth, with any background noise or with the volume on even at a low level no one can hear the buzz.
Hope this helps.
