I started to get this annoying little ticking noise from the speakers everytime I turn the radio on.

Does anyone have any idea what may be causing it and how to fix it please?

if i set my radio to an am channel, i can play my engine through the speakers, if that makes sense, its pretty cool. Maybe try tuning it in better? Better aerial? or maybe its because your wires are grounded, i know that can be an issue with unwanted noise sometimes.

ah yes the damn annoying zzrrrrr ticktiticktick of the unsuppressed voltage

if you don't have one you need a noise suppressor in line in your power if you have one it has stopped working

there are many different types normally the stereo comes with one built in these days

I normally get one that has a positive and a negative suppressor like this one
