Guest D.POPOV Guests Posted 26/06/04 05:36 PM Share Posted 26/06/04 05:36 PM g'day guys, first time poster long time reader. Picked up my beast last week and I luv it. however, the whine or whizing noise that it makes is really becoming annoying. its definetly not the turbo (cause I sold my gts skline for this beast, so I know what a turbo sounds like. anyway, I get the impression that this may not be an isolated problem, I read that others also hear and suffer from this annoyance. has anyone worked out what it could be and how it can be fixed??cheers 4 the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealer should be able to track it down, hopefully.Welcome to the site, does your brother swim?Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had high end amp and speakers fitted to my xr6t ( to replace the only just adequate ones) and the owner of the store that installs them said that the ba has a very noisy electrical system... meaning that the electrical wires can cause the speakers to buzz or in your description whine... I would suggest taking it to a reputable stereo store or installer and road test it with them and see what they think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest D.POPOV Guests Posted 28/06/04 02:11 PM Share Posted 28/06/04 02:11 PM thanxs for the feedback guys. the whine is also heard when the stereo is off, if that narrows it down. other than ive just gone from a skyline gts to the xr6t, and I dont regret one little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
