Radio Noise

Recommended Posts

It depends on the source of the noise. Is it a whine that increases and decreases with engine rpm? If so, it's the alternator. If it's consistant it's likely the ignition...is your distributor and coil shroud in place and the plug wires shielded? Is the noise strictly in the AM band or the FM as well?

The fiberglass body offers no ability to shield from radio frequence interference. It requires the shrouding to be in place and maybe even additional filters to keep it from being a nuisance.

Your stereo may need to be shielded itself or have filters attached to it...or it could simply be defective in it's filtering capability. Such things do happen.

You might want to visit an auto stereo shop and ask them for advice...they will probably have whatever filters you require.
