Ive had my Hexohm for over a month and it has started to make a buzzing sound.
My batteries are not dying, I've charged them
And i have a .3ohm build in it
Need some help?

Mine does that when the batteries are low.

Try a different set of batteries. Also, .2 is the lowest you should run on the box, otherwise you risk reducing the life of the dc-dc boost chipset.

i have tried 4 different sets of batteries. So if i use a build lower than that would that cause the buzzing noise

Perhaps, a build below .2 will place a huge current draw on the chip, while it can go up past 100 watts, the best builds I've had in a dripper are .25-.35 Claptons with the rheostat set at about 8-9 O'clock, which is 80% of the max output.

Try it with a build .2 and higher and see if it squeals/buzzes. Let me know...

The board might be going out, or just noisy. I'd contact the place where you bought it and let them know about the issue.

A buzzing sound may not be a big deal.

Your chip is running 8.4 volts (full charge) down to 3 to 6 volts (where you set the pot to) and it may be causing the slight buzz.
I know my Sigelei buzzes but my 120watt raptor doesn't.

I have the hex ohm V! (OKR-T/10 50 watt chip) and I have a hex ohm V2 type homemade hammond box (OKL T20 chip) and neither buzz
So I am unsure.

Have you tried running it with the doors off?
Sometimes that board can get cockeyed and make contact with the door.
Mine did that and it made a wine like an angry puppy.
Also is the plastic still covering the chip?
