Unhappy

just happened about 15 minutes ago. i have my radio on and got a phone call. i've heard the phone rang but at the same time there was a continous, low volume, high pitching noise and it hurted my ears a bit :'(. i pressed the button on the steering wheel to answer the call but couldn't hear the other party but only the high pitching noise . i pressed the button again to disconnect the call and the noise is gone but two speakers on the passenger side door are dead quiet . the rest of them are ok . i stopped, re-started the car, checked the entertainment settings but nothing helped :'(. has anyone experienced anything like this or have any suggestions? please advise. thank you .

Maybe you lost the power of hearing in your right ear. :'(

Tip. Spin your head thru 180 and see if the problem appears on the left hand side.

Never heard about that problem. But I would wait until the car sleeps and then start again. Hopefully this reset helps...
