Hello,
I've encountered an issue after replacing my drive belt/alternator belt due to signs of wear. Subsequent to the replacement, my speakers emit a brief high-pitched noise, lasting approximately 3 seconds and recurring every 30 seconds or so. While not excessively loud, it's noticeable over the music. Interestingly, the noise stops when I turn off the stereo.
This noise wasn't present before the belt change, and I'm currently using an aftermarket touchscreen head unit. In my search for solutions, I stumbled upon a forum comment addressing a similar issue. One response suggested a potential connection to Bose systems and aftermarket head units, mentioning a ground loop issue and the distinctive wiring of Bose systems. The comment also proposed that the alternator, lacking filtration, might contribute to the problem due to increased power draw (I'm not knowledge in this area so I'm not sure why this is happening)
The individual who encountered a similar problem mentioned resolving it using an "auto leads harness with built-in suppression." Could someone please clarify what this harness is? Additionally, if anyone can shed light on the root cause of this issue or provide suggestions on how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate the assistance. I must admit, I have limited knowledge of audio systems/grounding issues, so a simple explanation would be immensely helpful. It's baffling that this issue arose after changing the belt when it wasn't there before. Thank you for your insights.
