Hi,
Does the noise only occur when listening to tapes, the radio or both?
If tapes only, try cleaning the tape heads in the player with a cassette cleaning tape or a Q-Tip lightly moistened with Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available from electronics parts stores). Can't find an image for your model but here's one in another deck that shows what to look for when you open the door to insert the tape - see image in Step.2 & Step.4
If both tape and radio, try adjusting the volume control back and forth and check if the noise stops. If so it may be a noisy volume control potentiometer.

Hi,
Can you determine where the noise is coming from i.e. is the tape still turning at the same speed- motor noise, is the buzzing noise coming from the speaker in the player- audio problem?

It’s coming from the speaker; I don’t hear anything when I take off my headphones. My headphones work with everything else so I know they’re fine.

It's a portable player and isn't the version with a radio. It's this model. I tried cleaning the pinch roller, replacing the belt, and using this cleaner and it still makes the noise. This is what the inside looks like.

hey, I am having the exact same problem with my walkman (not sure what type it is). I would be really grateful though if you could tell me what you did to fix the buzzing sound when you get yours fixed.
