I'm thinking about buying this TV, but I wanted to know if the TV still has the problem of making sounds when it is off? Based on the reviews, owners have described the sound like a knocking, clicking, or dripping sound. Thanks in advance! null

Not sure how long it takes for the sound to develop however I have had mine for a couple of weeks. No sound yet.

I too have this problem. I bought the 55" 8000 series last month. This is not a result of temperature changes. This is a rhythmic clicking many hours after the TV has been turned off. 
This happens even late at night ( this tv is in my bedroom). The sound is very low, so we don't even hear it while the TV is playing. All other aspects of the TV are fine.

Answer

The unfortunate answer to this is yes, I didn't know about this prior to purchasing this about a month ago and can conform I have that issue sadly.

Samsung · Answer

Hi MS! Samsung TVs use a combination of metal and plastic material. These materials are subject to expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. Occasional creaking, popping, or cracking may be heard. This does not happen to all customers with the AU8000, nor does it indicate a product malfunction.
