iPhone 4S high pitch noise

I'll make something and test it before I say further, I'll update on the results.

Nice solution for the cassette adapter problem. I was hearing the high-pitched whine with my iPhone 4S playing to a Monster iCarPlay Cassette 800, which hadn't had this problem with my previous iPods. FYI to others, I picked up a much cheaper Scosche cassette adapter at Staples and it works fine with my iPhone 4S-- no more high-pitched whine, and while not exactly hi-fi, it does sound a bit cleaner overall than the Monster ever did.

Same problem with "new" iPad and 4s..

Hi, I had the same issue with the hissing/static noise while trying to play music thru the radio in my brand new Subaru Outback. I just recently discovered a solution. At least it worked for me. I purchased a Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable for MP3 or SmartPhone, including iPhone 4S. No more hissing! My music comes thru my car auxillary clear as a bell and the sound is amazing. I ordered the Kensington thru Amazon for $13.35 and for me it was worth every penny. You might want to give it a try.

Hi. I had the same problem with hissing noise with iPhone 4s and the New iPad, my car is a Focus 2012

I am having this problem with the iPod Touch 4G in an Honda Accord/Acura TSX 2007 using Blitzsafe HON/AUX DMX V.2X purchased from Enfig Car Stereo.

I have the same problem. 2008 BMW 335i with a stock Logic 7 stereo. *****.

I tried my 4s with a 1/8" cable today for the first time in my BMW. I didn't get a high pitched wine that others are referring to. However I did get a lot of static and a low volume output. Like everyone else, this never happened with any of my other ipods or iphones.

Anyone experiencing this?

FYI: I purchased the "Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable for MP3 or SmartPhone, including iPhone 4S" from Amazon.com for $13.47 and it totally fixed my problem. It's unfortunate that this is happening, but it's nice to know there is a cheap and easy work-around.

I hate to sound cynical but I have to wonder if the same problem will exist on the iPhone 5. Admittedly, I only wonder because Apple never acknowledged the problem.

I'll let you know next Friday!

I haven't followed all the other posts, but I do now have a fix for the problem. After a very helpful suggestion from someone else on a forum (have forgotten which one), I ordered this from amazon for £4.95 (ca $7)

FiiO L3 Line Out Dock Cable for iPod, iPhone, iPad

and it works. it has solved the problem on my car. Hope it does on yours

😕

Hey everyone! I tried the Kensington noise reducing aux cable and it completely fixes the problem. Fifteen bucks.....

I did mention this to both the AT&T store and Genius Bar and they both looked at me like I was from another dimension. Again, problem does not happen when headphones are plugged in.

Wonder if the iPhone 5 has this issue?

I have a 2011 MINI Cooper S with the Harman Kardon upgraded system.

Just got an iPhone 4S a few weeks ago and immediately noticed the annoying increase in gain (hissing) while music was playing. I bought that Kensington noise reducing cable. While it might work in some people's cars/systems, it made my iphone sound absolutely terrible. I'm talking like 96 kbps terrible (and I only download 320 kbps...) Everything sounded distorted, muddled, it sounded better with the slight hiss in the background in the first place...

Bottom line, I just bought a ground loop isolator for like 10 bucks off amazon, and a nice aux cable for 10 bucks, and now everything is crystal clear.

I upgraded to the iPhone 5 and no longer have this problem in my car. I had to get the Lightning to 30-pin adapter to get it to work with my car's iPod kit but it was well worth it since it works and there's no more high-pitched whine/hiss anymore, thank god.
