While I was listening to a cd in my TLS I heard this strange noise coming from my speakers from time to time. It's hard to describe what it sounds like.... maybe a "fluttering" or "shuddering" sound?? Then when I got a call on my cell phone, the noise became louder and more pronounced. Is the noise caused by radio frequency interference? Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? Just to let you know, I have the 2003 Type-S with navi and onstar.
Thanks.

 

This happens to me on the land phone when I get a call on my cell phone. It sounds like morse code or something....I have Voicestream.

 

LITypeS:
what kind of phone do you have??

my nextel does that with almost all speakers

it's prolly just the frequency

 

There is no way of fixing it unless you get a different cellphone. It only occurs when the phone rings. Happens to me too, I like it because when I'm blasting my CD, the only way of hearing my cellphone ring is when I hear the static-like sounds

 

my cell does that too all speakers too. I have had a lot of different kinds of cellphones, and all of them have done that, I think it is just the radio interference from the incoming call.

 

I have a nextel and it messes with the stearo.

 

My NEXTEL does the samething... I'm switching to Verizon this month.

 

When I'm on a cell call and I put my phone up to my stereo speakers I get interference so I think it's a cell phone/speaker issue (not a tech though so I'm not sure of the technical reason). I've found when I use my cell phone and have it cradled in the driver's door armrest I don't get any interference. However, when I have the phone resting below the center counsel in that little open storage area I get a lot of interference when listening to the radio and on the phone...

 

When I keep my V60 or any other cell phone for that matter in the little tray under the radio I always get a clicking type of noise when the phone switches from cell to cell. All I've got to do is to move it to the door tray or put it on the seat if it's not occupied. This happens with any cell phone I've tried.

 

normal with Nextel ... same thing happens when I'm at work and someone direct connects me

 

I agree with everyone here ... I'm 99% sure it's cell phone related. That same "morse code" sound comes through my computer speakers at work. I believe it's not just YOUR phone that might be causing the strange noise, but interference from other phones or even cell stations, and it gets picked up and played through your stereo speakers. For what it's worth, I have a Nokia cell phone (forget the model number but it's the tiny one with the sliding plate that covers the keys), with a subscription to Cingular. Strangely enough, I don't necessarily hear the sounds when -my- phone rings, so I'm guessing when other phones are ringing, or probably in use, and the stereo equipment is sensitive enough to pick it up.

Yup ... I have Nextel phone and it does the same thing. That IDEN frequency that they use causing lots of issue with the car stereos.

 

It's the cell phone. I happens when it sends out a signal. I stuck my Nokia 8260 under the radio when we left the dealership and it happend within 2 blocks. I thought I had a defective radio until I figured it out. I keep my phone in the cupholder or in it's hands free home to the left of my steering wheel and don't get any interference.

 

its all about mLife (www.attws.com) GSM service and I have no issues with the signal or speaker noise
