Hisssss from my speakers.

[harleyqn]

but seriously. its odd even when the cars off... how loud?

Not very loud, but if I sit in the car with windows up I can hear it. If I'm standing outside with the front doors wide open and put my ear 3 inches from the tweeter, I can easily hear the hiss. Interestingly it doesn't hiss from any other speakers only the tweeters!

Are these amped??
is there RCA's running form the back of the headunit ?

They are amped, however it's the factory fitted Dynaudio system. You'd think it shouldn't hiss... I have a feeling that some part of the circuit isn't grounded properly or come loose and introducing background noise into the system/tweeters. I'm also wondering if this has happened to anybody else?

Its either noise being induced in the RCA's, crossovers or tweeter itself, its easy to have a play around to find which it is, but because your car is new, youd void warrenty, defs go back tell them about it, should be a easy fix,

Hey Harleyqn,
I had a hissing like sound which came from the tweeter/speaker in the drivers side rear passenger door(The speaker next to the door handle) To me it sounded like a geiger counter going off, refer to this clip but skip to 2.00mins to hear the sound i'm talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCqsnap6a1A. Same like yours, the offending noise only came from the one speaker.
It bugged the crap out of me, but was gone in 2 days and hasn't come back, so i never got VW to look at it.
Hopefully yours rights itself, otherwise take it in to VW to get it looked at.
Cheers,
Jayse.
