[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 755136, member: 556589"] If all else fails and you still cannot get rid of the noise try this... I know its going to sound crazy, but trust me.. I did it once and now I'm a believer. The car itself may contain a static electricity buzz that does not simply go away over time. What you need to do is securly fasten the thickest piece of cable you can find to the frame of the car. Then secure the other piece to a metal stake (preferably a copper one). Drive that stake into the gound as far as you can and let it sit overnight. This is called "grounding your car". The static has no where to go because the car rides on rubber (a commonly known electrical insulator). By attaching the wire to the frame and then to the stake in the ground, you effectivly "ground" your vehicle.. and the static drains away. [/QUOTE]
