Hey guys,
First off as listed I've got an '05 Z71.
I'm having a problem with a high pitched whine being emitted from my speakers. Sometimes when I start the car it's there right away, screeching away at me. It's a horrible noise and is undoubtedly being caused by something in the sound system. If it's not apparent when I immediately start my truck, it starts when I hit a speed bump or pothole. Also, the (short term) solution to make it stop that I've found is to smack the dashboard right above the radio. I have to hit the dash pretty darn hard and sometimes it gets to the point where my hand will hurt cause I have to smack it that hard. Obviously this isn't a very good solution.
Also, the whine seems to increase as I accelerate and the RPMs go up. So I'm assuming the whine is increased as the voltage throughout the car increases.
Now I'm wondering what causes this? I have an aftermarket ipod/mp3/XM-radio device installed in the dash. I got it exclusively for the ipod connector which has now broken. Could this be a problem? I'm probably going to just remove the whole unit as I'm looking to sell my Avy soon for a more economical car. However, I've been told it could be my amp. Does this sound like a possibility. I'm 19 years old but I'm definitely not the kind of person who drives around blasting my music. I prefer to listen to music with the windows up and I almost never listen to the music past the half-way volume bar.
Oh and by the way I've got a factory Bose sound system if that helps.
Pleaser help me out. Any advice is appreciated!!!
