Low sibilance TV

electricspark

Hi.  I was diagnosed with Asperger’s about five years ago when I developed (among many other things!) as intense dislike of sibilance.

When I have to use a TV, I have been dealing with this by turning the treble control to minimum on our fairly old TV.  When my wife and I stay away from home I have noticed that hotel TV’s have huge levels of sibilance, probably as they are newer than our TV.

My wife wants to get a new TV in the sales and I am dreading it as I anticipate having to leave the room each time she wants to use it due to the awful sound.  It’s difficult to discuss with her as I get told to ‘deal with it’ and usually an argument develops.

Has anyone else with this problem found any solutions and can anyone suggest a make/model of TV with low levels of sibilance?

Many thanks in anticipation.

  • Hi Electricsparc,

    Sorry you have not been able to achieve what you want from the sound of your tv

    I have done a bit of research and looking at an online user guide for a model very close to yours, it does seem to have similar settings to my tv

    On page 159 (maybe different page in your manual, but will be nearby) there is a section called "Adjusting various sound settings (e.g. bass/treble/balance)"

    download.sony-europe.com/.../14HE334111_EN_print.pdf

    I would experiment with the sound mode and surround mode settings, but reset the bass/treble first just to see which mode works best. You may find if you select [Sports], [Cinema], [Music], or [Game] futher options will open up

    I know you don't want surround stuff, I just found it by accident expecting it to sound awful, but on my tv, which the simulated surround sound on, and sound booster on, it really improved the sound very noticably for me

    Once your happy with sound mode, then modify bass/treble or other filters

    Regarding tv input not being same looking for soundbar. You can connect them with an optical cable, so the signal is digital. Technically signals should be identical across different tv sets, in practice thats not the case, but they will be very similar at worst. If you can find a store which can demo it on a sony tv, that should be really close.
