What Causes the Buzzing Electric Current Sound Inside the Center Console?
2 Answers
The buzzing electric current sound inside the center console may be caused by abnormal noise from the air vents or a loose center console panel. Abnormal noise from air vents: Check if the air vents are loose or if the noise is caused by an installed perfume bottle on the vent. Tighten it or pad the edges with something like 3M tape. Loose center console panel: This situation is very unlikely to occur. Simply remove and re-tighten it or wrap tape around the clips. Gap between the dashboard and windshield: If there is a large gap between the dashboard and windshield, it may cause abnormal noise from the dashboard, rattling on bumpy roads, dust accumulation in the gap, and difficulty in removing small stones.
I've experienced the center console making a buzzing sound several times while driving, which sounds like small electric currents running around, and it's quite annoying. The reason is usually due to aging or loose speakers, especially when the audio system is in use. Short circuits in the wiring can also cause this, such as aging wires leading to poor contact or issues with the amplifier. If the air conditioning module has defective internal electrical components, it can produce this noise as well. Don't underestimate it—it could affect your driving focus. It's recommended to visit a repair shop to check the wiring and audio components. A simple fix like replacing a wire or securing a part can solve the issue. Don't delay too long, as the noise might worsen and impact your driving experience. Regular maintenance checks on the electronic control system can help prevent such problems.
