    strange noise after installing aftermarket radio

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    i have a 99 a4 2.8 quattro with bose system

    after i installed the radio some noise started to come from the rear'
    kinda sounds like the supercharger buzzing
    at first i thought it was something wrong with the fuel pump but after i turned of the radio it seemed to stop
    the strange part comes in that the buzzing is just like the supercharger
    the higher the rpm the louder the buzz
    any clues what could it be?

    this is the radio i have right now

    Typically a bad ground / ground loop is going to cause that exact sound.
