Diagnostic Procedure

  1. STEP 1. Check the noise occur when entering or near a particular structure (building, tunnel, mountain, etc). Q: Does the noise occur when entering or near a particular structure (building, tunnel, mountain, etc).? YES : Go to Step 3. NO : Go to Step 2.
  2. STEP 2. After taking the following measures to prevent the noise, check that no noise appears. Change to a different station with a stronger wave to boost resistance to interference. Suppress high tones to reduce noise. Q: Do the following measures eliminate the noise? YES : This diagnosis is complete. NO : Go to Step 4.
  3. STEP 3. Ask the owner about the state of the noise. Find out the following information from the owner. Place where the noise occurs. Locality conditions (valley, mountain, etc). Name and frequency of stations affected by noise Q:Which is the noise, vehicle noise or external noise? Vehicle noise : It may not be possible to prevent noise if the signal is weak. This diagnosis is complete. External noise : In almost all cases, prevention on the receiver side is impossible. Weak signals especially are susceptible to interference. Go to Step 4.
  4. STEP 4. Check that there is no noise. Q:Does noise still exist? YES : If there is more noise than on radios in other vehicles, find out the noise condition and the name and frequency of the receiving stations from the owner, and consult with the radio manufacturer's service center. NO : Normal

Note. FM waves have the same properties as light, and can be deflected and blocked. FM signal reception is severely degraded in the shadow of obstructions such as buildings or mountains. An FM receiver will then only receive a reflected signal.

  1. The signal becomes weak as the distance from the station's transmission antenna increases. The signal strength received depends on the signal strength of the transmitting station and intervening obstructions such as buildings and hills. Generally speaking, the area of good reception is approximately 12 - 15 mile (20 - 25 km) for stereo reception, and 19 - 25 mile (30 - 40 km) for monaural reception.
  2. The signal will becomes weak when an area of shadow from the transmitting antenna (places where there are obstructions such as mountains or buildings between the station transmitter and the vehicle), and noise will appear.
  3. If a direct signal hits the antenna at the same time as a signal reflected by obstructions such as mountains or buildings, interference of the two signals will generate noise. When moving, noise will appear each time the vehicle's antenna passes through this kind of obstructed area. The strength and interval of the noise varies according to the signal strength and the conditions of deflection.
  4. Since FM stereo transmission and reception has a weaker field than monaural, it is often accompanied by a hissing noise. After taking measures to prevent the noise, check that no noise occurs. Change to a different station with a stronger wave to boost resistance to interference. Suppress high tones to reduce noise. If there is noise, the following causes can be considered. If due to vehicle noise: It may not be possible to prevent noise if the signal is weak. If due to external noise: In almost all cases, prevention on the receiver side is not possible. Weak signals especially are susceptible to interference. If there is more noise than on radios in other vehicles, find out the noise condition and the name and frequency of the receiving stations from the owner, and consult with the radio manufacturer's service center.

Inspection Procedure 9: Sound mixed with noise, only at night (AM).

The following factors can be considered as possible causes of noise appearing at night.

  1. Factors due to signal conditions: Due to the fact that long-distance signals are more easily received at night, even stations that are received without problem during the day may experience interference in a general worsening of reception conditions. The weaker a station is the more susceptible it is to interference, and a change to different station or the appearance of a beating sound* may occur. NOTE: Beat sound*: Two signals close in frequency interfere with each other, creating a repetitious high-pitched sound. This sound is generated not only by sound signals but electrical waves as well.
  2. Factors due to vehicles noise: Generator noise may be a cause.
