      If you experience noise when monitoring a recording on your Olympus Voice Recorder, it may be due to feedback. Connecting a speaker with a built-in amplifier may cause feedback during recording, so using earphones to monitor recording is recommended. You may also adjust the recording setup such as by moving the earphones and microphone farther apart, or ensuring the microphone is not facing the earphones.

      If your Olympus Voice Recorder is not recording, it might be due to a lack of memory. Erase unnecessary files to free up space. Another reason could be that the maximum number of recordable files (199) has been reached, so deleting files will also solve this.

      The display might be blank because the batteries are not inserted properly. Ensure the positive and negative terminals of the batteries are correctly placed. Alternatively, the remaining battery power could be low, so try replacing the batteries. Finally, check if the power is OFF and turn it ON.

      If your Olympus Voice Recorder is making noise during playback, it could be due to a couple of things. It might be that objects brushed against the voice recorder while recording, so try not to touch the voice recorder during recording. Alternatively, the voice recorder may have been placed near a mobile phone or fluorescent light during recording or playback. If this is the case, redo the operation with the voice recorder in a different location.
