Gents,
I'm new to this game and after some sound advice... I've got a noisy alternator in my Rover 45, resulting a high pitch whine on my speakers... anybody know a remedy?
Many thanks
Jay
Alternator Suppression

An inline suppressor in the feed to the ICE unit would probably be the best bet. The alternator should already have suppression built in, but it will only be so-so effective - it's usually left to the equipment to do the rest. Could be other things, though.
It's a wild guess, but maybe an alternator suppressor... ?
You need to buy a "Ground Loop Isolator", for about ten quid, from any Car Audio supplier.
If you have a factory fitted stereo system, then your problem is due to dodgy earths - check em out.
Do you have an external amplifier? If so try to keep the input feeds to your amplifier as short as possible.
