I had the weirdest thing happen on Sunday morning I had to go into work around 11am. I was watching the Seahawks at home so I turned it on the AM radio in the car. When I got to work I parked and waited to hear the end of a play and gathered my gear to exit. I popped my phone out of the H/F and I hear this strange high pitch whining like a capacitor charging up in a flash for a camera. I put it back in the cradle and the noise went away. I just dismissed it because it was AM radio, which picks up all kinds of interference. That’ is why FM radio was invented, and then Satellite radio. Oh well, anyone else experience this with Nokia H/F?

I think it's just feedback through the ground return path for the antennas, Both the cell, and two AM/FM on the fender, and in the rear glass. These kinds of noise audible only on AM are pretty typical. Like when you drive under high voltage powerlines, or over train tracks. i just thought it was a wierd noise similar to this post and thought maybe I was also driving a closet Christine fan, or maybe just Herbie the love bug, only in a S14 body.
