#1 of 7 Nissan Altima Hybrid AM Radio Whine by newgs300 Jul 31, 2008 (3:33 pm)
We get a high-pitched whine on the two strongest AM radio stations in our local area. The volume of the whine varies with our location. Is is the XM radio/Nav package. Anyone else have this annoying problem? Anyone not have it? (I'd like to report my results of the poll here to Nissan, so a response either way would be helpful). Thanks!

Replying to: langjie (Aug 01, 2008 10:05 am) That what I would think, that it is the station, but we don't get the whine on those stations on any other car. So I assume you don't get it on your NAH (Nissan Altima Hybrid)? Replies to this message: langjie (Aug 04, 2008 11:58 am)

Replying to: newgs300 (Aug 03, 2008 10:34 am) i don't listen to too many am stations, just for sports sometimes. my best guess is that the magnetic field created by the battery is probably affecting the antenna. it would be even more if the antenna was attached to the window (which is the reason why you mostly see radio antennas attached to the roof of hybrids).   that's too bad though, i would be annoyed
#5 of 7 '08 NAH meows... Yes, it meows by allin4green Jan 11, 2009 (2:51 pm)
I've been searching the owner's manual and internet, and haven't been able to find an answer to this question, "Why does my Altima meow every time I drive into downtown Harrisburg, PA?"   It's the oddest thing. I work in the Capitol Complex area, and every time I approach the downtown area, just south of the Capitol, the audio system emits several short cat meows! I'm not making this up. My carpool rolls on the floor laughing each time we pull in, and I haven't been able to find an explanation anywhere. It's definitely based on geographic location so, I thought it could also be related to the navigation system but, I haven't found an explanation in any documentation there, either.   Has anyone experienced this in other cities, or in Harrisburg, also?

Replying to: allin4green (Jan 11, 2009 2:51 pm) It's probably signal interference. Can you take a video? That would be entertaining! Replies to this message: allin4green (Jan 12, 2009 3:56 pm)

Replying to: langjie (Jan 12, 2009 7:38 am) No, I think that signal interference would sound very different... it definitely, and very clearly... meows. I'll have to try and record it, and then see if I can upload it here. Maybe Wednesday, that's the next day that I drive the carpool.
