speaker noise
This morning I had a high pitch noise coming across my speakers. Noiser was a constant level regardless of volume level. It stopped after I got to work and restarted my truck. Any ideas?

Don't feed your truck after midninght, and try not to get it wet.
Honestly - we need to know a little more -- completely stock audio system? Amps in the truck? Do you have any other aftermarket electronics - GPS/CB/HAM etc.
My system - aftermarket headunit had a little noise to it the other day -- sometimes older electronics can take a little bit to get good and ready to operate.

Re: speaker noise
by any chance is it an aftermarket, maybe Pioneer w/XM??browe wrote:This morning I had a high pitch noise coming across my speakers. Noiser was a constant level regardless of volume level. It stopped after I got to work and restarted my truck. Any ideas?
I have the Pioneer with XM tuner and I was getting a whine with the radio on/off/whatever.. tracked it down to being caused by a loose ground cable on the battery (the GM shop didnt put it back tight after they had tried to 'diagnose' my airbag light by unhooking the battery and going, "hey, it turned off... we cant locate it now"
).Anyway, the battery cable caused the whine from the bad ground, but i found out through that, that the Pioneer at least, does NOT turn its amps completely off when its 'off'.. some other aftermarkets might do the same, causing the whine to be constant, even though the source is something other than the radio itself.

I do have an aftermarket pioneer deh-p8mp headunit. I have driven up and down the street on break today and everything was fine. Tomorrow I will have to check all the connections just to make sure nothing came loose. Thanks for the replies.

sounds like you have the same thing I do.. the Pioneer always keeps its amp on in a 'stand-by' mode, which is why the whine doesnt change with volume/power off..browe wrote:I do have an aftermarket pioneer deh-p8mp headunit.

I'd check your battery ground first (easiest to get to) then check the radio grounds/etc.
