Hello. I have always known that when listening to AM Radio and driving under or near high voltage Hydro Wires, Generally most Car Radios will have some kind of Static noise or interference sound. Some car radios handle this better than others. In my Ford, it was just a soft quiet white noise while the station cut out, but in my Hundai it is more of a louder Buzz sound overtop the broadcast like you can hear the RFI from the hydro wires interfere with the radios circuits or something.
So lately a big stretch of road right from my house to near the highway on ramp, I hear the loud buzz and my AM radio is barely audible no matter what station. I checked FM and its still good. So I'm guessing Hydro must have done something to the phase of the hydro wires underground, cus we have no overhead, maybe they changed the phase of hydro coming into the underground wires, because its so noisy. It has been this way now for a good week. I figured its hydro causing it because anytime I drive under the hydro wires I hear this noise and not just the hydro transmission towers but the regular local hydro utility poles and wires too. Im guessing there is a primary and/or secondary hydro cables underground that were not used and they either energised them to distribute hydro somewhere nearby or they flipped the phase of some existing underground hydro and overhead wires. What can or should I do about this? Should I call hydro? or should I get a better AM/FM Radio for my car? I'm using the stock Hundai radio its okay not the best but it suits my needs
