Wiimote Emits Buzzing Sound

[M3Fox]

I'll try to set up the situation exactly as it happened, because I don't get it at all.

All right, this morning, I was viewing the Nintendo Channel's videos when I was about to watch the Wii Music instrument demos when all of a sudden, my Wii Remote started buzzing like a cell phone on a vibrate setting for about five seconds until it stopped. I thought it would explode or something, since it was shaking like crazy, because this never happened to me before. After that, it worked fine but I was confused about it, so, here I am.

Does anyone have a clue as to why this happened?

O_o LOL But on a serious note, I did check my batteries as soon as it stopped vibrating and it had 3 bars, so battery power shouldn't hve been a problem. And besides, my batteries had been low on power before and when I tried resyncing (is that a word?) it, there wasn't any buzzing at all.

A few possible things could've contributed to it but it's mainly gonna be batteries cutting out or the controller just lost it's assignment causing erratic behaviour which can include loops of constantly pressing button(s) or vibrations, had it happen to me too.

Lost its assignment? What's that mean?

All connected controllers, Wiimotes and Balance boards are assigned an ID, it's how you, the controller, and the Wii all know which controller controls which player (the little player indicator lights), if at any point the Wii cuts the connection those controllers lose that assignment but if the controller is native to the Wii it was assigned to (synced via the red buttons) it/they will regain they're assigned ID(s).

Hopefully that makes sense.

This happens quite a lot and is perfectly natural when you're loading the Wii up, loading up a game or a channel etc and in various other places.

So Sonic656 was right? Ugh... I'm going to be hearing this. XD

Well, now it makes sense. It was just a little weird, though. About the assignments getting cut off, I think that may have happened before when I tried to load a channel (ex. Internet Channel) and it would take 10 seconds before it would begin, except there wasn't buzzing like this one. I'm guessing that the Wii Remote was trying to resync itself. o_O Oh well, at least I won't overreact if it happens again... LOL Thanks.
