So when i have the music turned down i can hear this ticking sound coming from the speakers its only the aftermarket ones. So i decide to rip up the carpet thought it was the rca's moved them around no luck same with the remote. Im really stumped at this point....

 

I have the same problem, but I dont have aftermarket speakers. just an aftermarket h/u. I have a feeling its a wire in the back of the h/u.

 

Do you have a cell phone in the car?My cell will cause a noise sometimes even when its just sitting in the little compartment left of the steering wheel.

 

what radio do u have?

 

alpine cda 117

 

I have this noise and it i believe its the factory amp. when i use my turn signal i hear it as well if the radio is off. i have stock HU w/ aftermarket speakers.

 

I can hear the turbo through the speakers when the radio is turned down

 

thats a ground loop. theres an off balance somewhere. Ground your deck to the same place as the amp and see if that helps. Also on the side that your running rcas make it only rca no remote or deck ground

 

mine is a constant static whenever the factory amp is in use. ie radio, turn signals, onstar and its like a "scratching noise"

 

i have the same but with like a ticking i have to chase down the grounds and see if thats it

 

If you just changed the speakers and left the amp and HU alone then there shouldnt be anything like that. If so its probably amp or speakers

 

well everytime i hit a bump my speakers start with a static "scratchy" noise.

 

thats probably a loose connection what speakers or equipment do u have?

 

ok so i went looking at the amp wires i found out it was the ground on my four channel. Going to pick up a ground loop today hopefully it solve my issue

 

This is exactly my problem but it only comes from the right side. Its a scratching noise and alternator whine all mixed together but it is possible to get one without the other.

 

I think its the factory amp but I don't want to replace it with another stock one. I had an amp stolen a few months back so I don't want to go aftermarket again unless I can truly install it in a "unique" ie hard to get to spot.

 

if you had an amp in the past was it for a sub or the door speakers?

 

both actually. I had a pioneer 4ch for the speakers and a kenwood 2ch for the subs but it was stolen before I could build the box. So everything is hooked up to the factory amp which I'm sure it can't handle well. [ohm loads] but the noise only comes after a bump or the doors are closed hard.

 

the reason im asking is because wiring. the stock amp isnt bad for stock but not really good either so i was just thinking of how u did it

 

I used the existing factory wiring but my speakers are 4-ohms now instead of the 2 the stock ones were. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get another 4-channel and something to drive a sub this summer but this is an annoying and problem to have especially when everytime I signal or listen to music its there.
