Now I've got nothing against a good buzz, but on our first outing last weekend, I noticed a "buzz" in the exterior speakers after they'd been on a while (maybe an hour). Didn't matter if it was CD or radio, and not evident on inside speakers. Then, it would stop for awhile, and then come back. I tried to isolate it to something running in the TH, but nothing correlated. Any ideas?

maybe a bad ground or a bad solder joint. when the unit heats up it will cause the circuit board to expand and cause bad connections on the circuit board.
one way to test for a bad solder joint is to tap on the unit when its making the sound. If it clears up that may be your problem. if its under warranty I would take it back and have them replace it. our unit did the same thing and they replaced the unit.

Try turning the inverter off, if you have one.
Also turn off all flouresent lights.

Hmmmm, don't have either of those. It only seems to be in the outside speakers, which tells me it's not interference in the the receiver, and it will come and go. Just about the time it gets annoying, it stops. Sometimes it's there when you first turn it on, sometimes not until it's been on for a while. I'm baffled.

Was your water heater or water pump on?
My Ragen's speakers make a buzzing noise with one of the two items on (cant remember which one).
From what I have read, this is a common issue on Ragen's. Call the factory and ask them about it.

Try running some temporary speaker wire to one speaker. If the other buzzes, and the one with the new wire doesn't...rewire them. The speaker wire may be laying against an electrical wire and picking up interference.
I had a 40 foot motorhome with a 2,000 watt inverter. When I dry camped, one of the electrical outlets hummed from the inverter...that's why I suggested turning it off.

Water heater was on, pump was not, as we were hooked up in a CG. We're going again next weekend, and I'll try to isolate it further.
Thanks for the help, so far.
