High pitched squeal coming from speakers
About a month ago my 2000 Chevy S-10 began to make a high pitched squeal (almost like AM radio feed back) whenever the truck was on. The squeal is completely rpm sensitive and it appears to come from the speakers (regardless if the radio is on or off). Any thoughts on where it comes from.

Sounds Like You Have A Bad Ground Usally It Has A Ground Connected To The Chassis,or The Problem Is In The Radio Itself.i Had The Same Problems In The Past With Mine I Changed It All Out Andwalla No Probs.also 1 More Thing.you May Want To Check Your Spark Plug Wires.you May Need The Noise Supression Ones,little More Expensive But They Do Work Well Good Luck

I agree with everything GMCMAN said, but I thought of one more thing you may want to check if none of his suggestions work. I had a problem with a different vehicle after I installed an aftermarket CD player. When I removed the head unit from the dash to check my connections, I found that the antenna wire was not plugged into the appropriate connection on the back of the head unit. Once I plugged that in, I didn't have any more problems. I'm not saying that's your problem, but you may want to check it out.

Re: High pitched squeal coming from speakers
If your stereo has the auto volume for differnt speeds,check the antenna connection and tightness of the antenna itself.I installed an aftermarket "Bowtie" antenna on mine and it started squealing as the speed increased,then I tried it on 3 other vehicles and same problem.Just a thought.

Re: High pitched squeal coming from speakers
What you are hearing is called road noise in the car audio world. usually this is caused by power wires running next to RCA cables or speaker wires. You can buy road noise eliminators that wire into your speaker wires. They are available at Wal-mart.

Re: High pitched squeal coming from speakers
ok...if he said he had aftermarket pieces,i'd go along with the electrical interference,but with him stating nothing about aftermarket,and him referring to it as a "squeal" rather than a whine,it sounds exactly like mine did,a "squeal", when i had the antenna problems.don't believe me,take your antenna off your truck and drive down the road,i think mine started squealing at about 45 mph, the faster you go,the higher the squeal.hell,it even done it with an aftermarket system when i tried to run the aftermarket antenna.factory antenna= no noise,aftermarket antenna= SQUEAL

Re: High pitched squeal coming from speakers
Hey guys, so I will try to explain my problem as easily as possible. So I have a 1999 Lexus ES 300. About six months ago I had a Boss amp and two 12'' Rockford Fosgate subs installed. Everything was fine with stock Lexus sound system. Couple weeks ago I decided to get an aftermarket deck, a Pioneer. I had it installed 3 days ago. Noticed that when music was not cranked up, there was a warbling squeal coming from my system. Took it back. They reccomended a ground loop isolator. Just had it installed. No change to squealing. When they were messing around with jacks on back of deck, when they disconnected my antenna, it sounded fine. So...from what I have gathered from this thread it sounds like it is a problem with the ground wiring. The people who installed it suggested I have wiring bypass the stock amp in my Lexus, and that would fix it. What would you guys do? Rewire ground wires for stock amp? I really dont wanna lose radio even though now I am mostly using BlueTooth. This whole thing is very frustrating. Basically can someone tell me what they believe is wrong, and or what I should do to solve the issue. Thank you
