KNace Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I just bought a new 2014 Ford Fusion SE with MyFord Touch last week. I'm loving the car however I have noticed an annoying buzz/hum when the radio is on very low volume, this is most noticeable when first starting the car, when it's just in accessory (since the motor can drown it out a bit). The buzz seems to be on each type of media device and can be heard through Sync as well. The noise does not get louder or softer if you adjust the volume, it remains constant. This is not the "end of the world" but it's pretty annoying considering that it's a brand new car and I really love listening to music and don't need additional white noise with each song. The best way to hear it is to put your stereo into bluetooth audio mode, and play a song on your phone while it's muted. The car thinks it's receiving sound but all you get is that slight noise. Has anyone experienced this? I brought it back to the dealership today for them to figure it out and at first they didn't know what I was even hearing but then I sat with a very nice tech who heard it, we sat in another Fusion and it did the SAME THING! HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosCA Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yep - same issue here. It drives me nuts. Took it in, and eveyrone acted like they couldn't hear it. Finally got one tech who said that he could hear it too. Hopped in to two other Fusions. All had that same issue. I think it's pretty obnoxious, personally. Not sure what or where the issue is.

FusionNewbie Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Gah, I know exactly what you're talking about. Happens in my '13. Don't care enough to address it but I'm sure the issue lies within MFT coding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JScullin Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have it on my '13 Fusion SE with the basic MyFord radio. Does it mostly when on the Sirius setting. There are posts saying that dealers have replaced the ACM module to correct it. http://www.fordescape.org/forum/electronics-audio-lighting/6009-sony-sound-system-static.html http://2gfusions.com/index.php/topic,1817.msg18988.html#msg18988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNace Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 The tech was telling me that there's really nothing they can do until it's recognized as a real issue by Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy314 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Don't hear it on my Fusion hybrid, then again it has noise cancelling when in motion, so maybe I do and then it cancels itself out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFusion Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Have had the same issue on my '13 fusion w/ford touch since new. Static/buzz when volume levels are low, and it does not matter what source is in use: usb, fm, am, sirius.

Triple-Tap Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Ugh. I can hear the static/buzz too! It's bloody agonizing. It's definitely a software problem. I use the AV and/or USB and still can hear it from both sources. Someone needs to fix this ASAP... this problem is a threatens my sanity.

akirby Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Interesting - I've never had this problem. Triple-Tap - update your profile. It still says Acura TL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
