2012 Silverado - Radio High pitch constant ring
#71
There is a bulletin out there where GM instructs dealers to tell us that it is normal, and that they are looking for a fix. That kinda makes me go
Fact of the matter is GM will not have a fix. This style radio is in many GM models for current and previous years. If GM's true intent is to stand behind their products, they would have had a fix for this a long time ago.

I also have the radio problem: 2012 Yukon XL
I bought a new 2012 Yukon XL in September. I noticed the high pitched radio noise immediately. I took it into my dealer and they noticed it too right away. The problem is definitely with the radio any time power is applied to it (engine on or off). GMC told my dealer that there was a service bulletin on the issue and to not attempt any repairs. WHAT? That's NOT acceptable. GMC needs to step up and remedy the issue now.

I have a 2012 silverado crew cab . brand new off the lot on the way home at a stop light I picked up on a High decible noise, almost like one of those dog wistles. Very high pitched and peircing. I have tried for days to locate the source. It is coming from behind the dash. It is not a mechanical noise, malfunction, speaker noise, or anything like that. There is a sound!! so all these people telling you to get your ears checked are full of it! THERE IS AN ISSUE.

#PIT5166H is the Document number Nov 1, 2012
I stumbled onto a workaround in another forum. Place something over the light sensor. (make the car think it is night time) Turn the interior light dimmer as low as it will go. It's like volume control for the high pitch sound from the radio. The dealer is replacing the radio in a few weeks.

I have this issue also.. But it happens intermittently and only when its really cold out.It sounds like the chimes you hear when you start up the vehicle. Only its a steady high pitch sound as if the chime is stuck on. I am calling the dealer today. 2011 Silverado 1500 LTZ extended cab.
How did you visit to the dealer go? Were they able to resolve the issue?

Brought the truck in to Huntington Chevrolet-They showed me an official notice from GM#PIT5166B :High Pitch Sound From Radio Disdlay (Nov 1 ,2012. This problem has been found in Buick Enclave, Chevy Malibu Avalanche,Silverado,Suburban,Tahoe,Travers, GMC Acadia,Sierra,Yukon equipped with Radio RPO US8 or UUI. So this problem is huge!!!. It says and I quote Customers may comment about a high pitch buzz,whine, squeal or hum noise from the radio display. It then says that the dealership is to make no further repairs. that GM is working on a solution and once its available they will take care of it. I could get no ETA on when that would happen, just alot of I'm sorry, we understand etc.....In other words I just got put off. I asked if I could stop making payments while they figured things out. They didn't laugh. I am calling my local newspaper to see if they would like to report on this.
