Bicster Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Every now and again, my factory headunit emits a series of weird electronic buzzing noises through the speakers. It happens regardless of the source selection. It's not that loud, but it's noticable, especially during pauses between songs. It's as if something is intermittently shorting out and causing this noise. I would probably never be able to reproduce it for the service department unless it gets a lot worse... any suggestions?

Bicster Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 I don't think it has anything to do with a mobile phone. The noise is the same every time. I wish I could describe it, but I can't think of anything it sounds like. Maybe I will try burning an audio CD of all silence, and see if I can capture the noise...hrm.

direavenger Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 could it be due to cell phone transmission? +1. Usually sounds like a ticking buzz, and the noise was always pretty much the same. One of my old cell phones did it all of the time. If it happes often and is very regular, drive around with your cell phone and a silent cd as you said, and listen. Then turn your cell phone off and see if it helps. The Dude - Two inches and counting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfxdave99 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Maybe you should stop listening to nine inch nails remixes. What carrier do you have for your cell phone? If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfxdave99 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 My cell phone carrier is T-Bone. Im assuming you mean t-mobile, if that is the case you are using a GSM phone and they are famous for causing such wierd interferences. I have two gsm phones unfortunatly so i get hit double. Put your phone by the radio and dial voicemail and see if its louder. If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelander Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 ive got something similar, but it only seems to be coming from the passenger side speaker. and i know its not gsm interference. as long as the headunit is on there is a high pitched but very low volume hum. as soon as i turn the headunit off it goes away. but the funny thing is that it doesnt happen every time i drive the car.

05LGTBlack Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I have the same problem, its not cell interference. It happens even when the cd player is on. It can be described as sounding either like switching through the old style radios or almost like a dj scratching a record. I could not reproduce it on my return to the service department.

motorider888 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 In my case they even replaced the head unit and the noise is still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Sounds like "white noise". when you turn a tube TV on and put it on mute. At least thats what mine sounds like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not reproduce it on my return to the service department. it is messing with the speakers, like using a walkie talkie next to a speaker, not the radio itself. it wont matter what the input is at the time. my cell will do this on my night stand as well next to my clock radio when it is playing.

I had the exact same noise. Lost the CS and poof it was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have AT&T too... I'm sure it does it when I leave the phone at home too, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
