hey,

when i turn my sounds system on, whilst the car isnt on its all fine and sounds fine. but soon as i turn on the car even into acc mode, it starts to make a buzzing humming noise, i start the car and it still makes the noise, i rev the car abit and the noise gets louder, then drops back down with the revs...

i was woundering if anyone knows what this could be and how i could go at fixing it, really annoying lol...

It could be a lot of things, so to cut to the chase, read this

Ten commandments of noise

is a whine, or static noise ?

static is plugs , coils arcing to ground most of the time

whine, is normally a ground loop, RCA shield stuffed, wire to the wrong power source, or some other accessory causing issues, fan etc.

does it have amps ? or just a deck ? does the noise come from all speakers ?

does it do it on the radio and CD ? if just the radio look to see if the antenna is grounded and tight, or plugged in fully ?

clean the terminals on the battery and make sure its tight. ground to the alternators frame mounting bolt back to the battery ground will help noise and current surge issues ?

a powerline noise filter is a bandaid , and wont solve the actual problem correctly.

its like a buzzing fuzzy noise, yes i have 1 amp, and i run a incar computer, it comes from only the front tweeters, and it happens ALL the time the car is on and the system is turned on.

if you can help it would be much apricated. If not it looks like its going to a shop to fix. :banana:

first guess, in car computer power supply is producing voltage "ripple" find a oscilloscope to test it

or the RCA wires are run too close to a coil of wire(power supply, high power source, low quality voltage converter or RCA with broken shield picking up RFI

Tweeter on a amp or deck powered ? try a new RCA RUN OUTSIDE the car to the tweeter amp, does it still do it ?

tweeter speaker wires touching metal ???

the tweeters plug into the back of the speaker at the front, i have 1 amp to power everything...

when iget home ill try a new RCA cable outside the car and ill take all the power wires away from the others... see what happens

ill let you know once ive had an update :(

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
