YesStatic electricity noise:
Body static electric from the shock absorber rubber bushings used
to prevent vibration, tires, etc. occurs because of separation fromthe ground, causing a buzzing noise.
Since no measures can be taken on the radio side, steps shouldbe taken to discharge the static electricitv of the vehicle bodv.

About multipath noise and fading noise
Because the frequency of FM waves is extreme-
ly high, it is highly susceptible to effects from
geological formations and buildings. These ef-
fects disrupt the broadcast signal and obstruct
‘reception in several ways.l Multipath noise
This describes the echo that occurs when the
broadcast signal is reflected by a large obstruc-
tion and enters the receiver with a slight time
delay relative to the direct signal (repetitious
buzzing).l Fading noise
This is a buzzing noise that occurs when the
broadcast beam is disrupted by obstructing ob-
jects and the signal strength fluctuates intricately
within a narrow range.

IA-9Ever-present noise.I
Noise is often created by the following factors, and
often the radio is OK when it is checked individually.l Traveling conditions of the vehicle
l Terrain of area traveled through
l Surrounding buildings
l Signal conditions
l Time periodFor this reason, if there are still problems with noiseeven after the measures described in steps A-l
to A-8 have been taken, get information on the fac-
tors listed above as well as determining whetherthe problem occurs with AM or FM, the station
names, frequencies, etc., and contact a service cen-
