Can you record the noise and post it? Will make it alot easier to identify.  _____________________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! (in reply to Mdoog) Post #: 12

But again, it is uncommon problem that I havent seen. Wish I could hear it. lol _____________________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! (in reply to Mdoog) Post #: 14

So there is still a good chance that this is not even close to what is going on with the op's car, but surprisingly enough, radio off, w/e it can still happen.  Disconnect the harness and it shouldn't though.

I,ve heard that whining sound and thats what it sounds like. This sound started a few months ago. Nothing has been done to car. Sound is the same with radio on or off. I'm sorry I can't get my ear to speaker, buy it does seem to be coming from them. Thanks for your help. (in reply to Mdoog) Post #: 16

There is far too many variables from your description. Make a recording and post it. Then we will be able to help you further. _____________________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!
