Random electronic squeal ?
I must have discovered the most unusual problem yet with a 2015 GT3. Has anyone else experienced?
Randomly, the car will decide to issue an ear piercing squeal-would make a great intrusion alarm. I noticed it first a few months ago and in may occur once a week, or a couple of times same day. It will occur whether engine is running or not, whether key is in car or not, whether ignition is inserted or not, whether blue tooth device is nearby or not. It clearly sounds like electronically generated feedback-much like occurs when an open mic is placed too close in front of a speaker. When it occurs, once recovering from the startle, either turning radio on or off, or adjusting volume or turning car on or off, volume is not effected. Squeal stops on its own from 5-20 seconds after it begins.
I thought I was losing my mind, until at VIR this past weekend it occurred twice in the paddock while car was at rest and I found two trustworthy witnesses who heard it as well. We believe it is emanating either from or close to the front dashboard speakers.
Anyone else see this problem or have suggestions?
