Is it static noise? There is a condenser on the battery connector to eliminate that...check a user's guide for the Radio and you should see one in the circuit somewhere...easy enough to replace...

also try moving the ground for the radio, or amp if you run one, directly to the battery that will also take care of the problem

make sure your running a resistor type spark plug (most are these days). depending on the year of the truck, you may have a failed ignition coil condenser.

hey sorry for not responding sooner. forgot i posted. yeah i do have an amp but it only runs the sub. the noise is coming from the passenger side speakers (front and rear). i grounded the amp onto my trucks chassis to eliminate any ground loop just in case but no dice. its still there. the noise is an ignition sound. kinda like a ticking and occasionally some alternator whine

Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.
"Every so often" you get it? Try running a grounding strap wire between the hood and the cowl.
