Bob et al.
Where should I start looking to fix an annoying alternator whine in my headset?
Features:
-the pitch of the whine is RPM dependent
-the amplitude is fixed and doesn’t change when the intercom volume or the volume of any of the radios or other avionics are adjusted
-it’s present regardless if any audio source is selected in the audio panel
-it goes away when the intercom is unpowered
I am thinking the intercom (a PM2000) has poor noise rejection on the voltage rail; or is it something that should be investigated at the alternator/voltage regulator end?

I had similar symptoms, cured by grounding everything in the panel to a single point.Peter

I have had a similar whine develop suddenly after months of normal quiet audio at least 3 times and returned the alternator to manufacturer. All were replaced because of either loss of a winding or loss of a rectifying diode resulting in a ripple DC creating the whine.John Greaves
