Re: Garmin 396 audio noise
Dan,
We have the same problem with our 496 with XM. When not listening to music, we're listening to a high pitch whine in our headsets. This plug-in sits between the co-pilot's mic and headset plugs. Our solution has been to disconnect the XM plug-in for some peace and quiet.
What inline audio filter did you use and how did you set it up or connect it? We may need to do this to!

Bdemunck,
What worked for me was this filter www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EAQTRI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I plugged it into the 396 audio out and sent it along to the intercom.
It sure is worth the low cost if it works out your whine.

Re: Garmin 396 audio noise
I'm glad that this was posted. I have a garmin 396 that I plug directly into my Bose A20 headsets for music. When the 396 is hard wired into the plane's electrical system I get the same high pitched noise unless I have the music on to mask it. I also "hear" the strobes when I pull back the throttle for landing. I thought about doing the noise filter fix, but the interference is only really noticeable without music playing. When I don't want audio, I just turn off the input into my headset. If it matters, I have a 912ULS and a Pilot intercom hooked up directly to an iCom A24 radio.
Perhaps this would bother me more if I didn't have a Jeep that requires the stereo up so that you're not bothered by the tire noise and suspension squeaks!
