Low buzz sound

[Adam cordova]

I installed an aftermarket stereo in my 04 tahoe and I'm getting a
Buzzing sound no matter what function is on. Its there even if I turn down the volume. The pitch doesn't change when I accelerate or anything. Its pretty constant. Its annoying to say the least. The tahoe has the bose system with on star. I've tried searching the net with no luck. Is it a stock amp issue? Can I bypass it somehow? Or is it a grounding issue? Anything helps.

Did you install with an aftermarket wire harness or tap directly into the vehicle stereo harness? If you used an aftermarket install harness, which one?

I had the same problem when I changed my head unit. Mine was coming from the OnStar speaker over my head. Since I didnt use it, I just unplugged it and the humming stopped

I used an aftermarket brand Scosche. Along with the chime box.

How did you unplug it? I gotta try something.

Mine was behind the passenger side dash. There were 2 plugs, I just pulled the one that made it stopped. I can't remember which one it was.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having similar low buzz sound.

I tried pulling the plugs for the OnStar speaker wire but that didn't work. My buzz is coming from all speakers though, not the OnStar speaker above the driver.

thats not an onstar speaker above your head. there are a few posts on the forum, its an hvac sensor. you can take it out and clean it with compressed air, or replace it.

The buzzing noise on mine was coming from whatever that is above the head right after I changed the head unit. I originally put duck tape over it to muffle it until I disconnected the OnStar box.

I hadn't heard about the temp control being an issue. I hope you get it figured out soon.

I have some crackling and white noise coming through the speakers on mine. I have bose but no onstar. Lots of people with the issue, no solutions that I've found

It's interesting how a lot of people have this issue but no solution.

I still believe it has to do with the stock bose amp. Couple of options I've though of. 1) rca output to speaker wire, so from back of head unit to speaker wire input on amp. 2) run a wire from the amp input to the output side wire, thus skipping the bose amp. 3)running new speaker wire to each speaker. 4)buying a set of 6.5" coaxial speared and installing in the front doors, running new wire just to those and disconnecting all the wiring to the bose amp. Probably gonna just go with number 4.

I'm thinking that might be it too.

My whole plan was to reinstall my 6.5" Alpine Type-R component speakers with my Rockford Foosgate amp. I'm just doing it in steps since I don't quite have the time yet. So if it goes away when I do that I'll post on it.
