I have the same issue with my recorder V1 15. The fix I found was to use a
set of phones that come with a volume control. Turn down the volume on the
phones while slightly increasing the volume of the player and the noise is
gone. Not the best solution for your new phones but it might help when
deciding on what phones you buy down the road.

I have a similar problem with my Ondio SP, every time sth on the LCD
changes there is a chirping noise, so loud it really disturbs listening to
music. I had this problem with Rockbox 2.5 and so I uninstalled it, and
there is no noise with the original archos software.

This is a little bit frustrating to me, because I bought the (used) Ondio
because it runs Rockbox, which I like very much (and which runs without
problems) on my JBR V2.

I searched through the Rockbox website, but I couldn't find any hint that
this is a known issue. May someone point me to a webpage or an archived
mail where this has been disussed before?
