Interference from head unit

[boddy 10+ year member]

When i turn my volume up about 3/4 + i can hear a white noise, even if i turn the actual music off. It happens when my bluetooth is connected or is on aux mode even if i haven't got my aux lead plugged in, haven't tried it with a cd and my aerial is crap or not connected properly so i cant really tell on my radio the recpetions really poor, i need to get it sorted soon. Sometimes it will pick up the radio station that is currently selected, say i select radio 1 then change the mode to aux and turn it up, i can hear the radio slightly.

I don't know if my sub does it but my components do which are being driven off the headunit itself, i've currently got an amp coming for them so i will see what it's like then but do you think my headunit is faulty?

My headunit is a tevion

you paid $50 for it? did you get it from Aldi or similar?

your noise issues are the HU. i'd get a better model when you have the cash - like a JVC.

So it's just down to the headunit being cheap and not faulty?

I like the idea that it's bluetooth so i can play my songs from my phone and change tracks from the headunit which is a big plus as i dont have to fiddle around with my phone while driving. So i probably won't upgrade until i find a decent bluetooth headunit in budget.

It could be faulty, try to exchange it if you are stuck with it.
