Whats that dreadful noise?
Hello all.
I've rented a HHR because I want to try before I buy. Everything pleases me about the car except for the hissing noise that occurs every time I turn on the signal blinkers. It sounds like speaker "white noise", even when the radio is not on. Anybody have this problem, or a solution?
Thanks.

Have had our HHR one week and we, too have the hissing noise when activating the turn signals. Problem comes and goes. Took it to the dealer while it was doing this and the service manager just sat there and scratched his head saying....hmmmm...that's strange, never heard this problem before. The noise is coming from the small tweeter speakers mounted in the roof posts on both sides of the windshield. Unfortunately the dealer's "best wiring man" was on a 4 day vacation, so will have to wait. Problem is, as random as the noise happens it's probably going to have to get worse/more consistent before they can find the problem. Whatever you do, don't hit the radio power button when it's "hissing"... the crack was so severe I thought it had blown the speakers...but turning on the radio stopped the hissing noise.
