Noise from speaker when amp on mute

[Bassman Steve]

Any of you technical bods out there any thoughts on why there might be noise coming out of a speaker when the amp to which it's connected is on mute?

I don't imagine a speaker can generate noise on its own but I am wondering what the problm might be.

The speaker connections are speakons, in case that is significant (maybe a mismatch in the connections within the speakon cable).+

Thanks in advance for any help.

I would imagine it would depend on what kind of noise and where the muting happens. If it only mutes the input, there is a lot of potential noise making gubbins still connected.

What amp..? What cab..? What else in in the circuit..? Could be a number of causes...
