This is a relatively new problem.

On my 1995 C280 bose stereo, when I go from the pre-set stations (1-6), or use seek or change the FM frequency, the speakers make a quick buzz sound, like an interference/bad reception kind of short chirp.... when changing stations. The volume level of this "interference" is consistent, regardless of volume level.
It also does this when changing tracks or CDs on the OEM wired Alpine Cd Player.

ANy ideas?? Thanks in advance!

Hi David,
Sounds like the radio has leaky capacitors inside. This not unusual for the CM2194,CM2294,CM2294,CM2296,CM2396 models. I service these units regularly and find that the pops and noises from normal use is just that. If you want it serviced you can ship it directly to me. My Web Site is www.lajollaaudiorepair.com
Let me know if you need further assistance.
