I have searched and searched and can't find anything on this. I have a 2000 Contour SE Sport with the factory AM\FM CD player and factory speakers. Sometimes I get a ticking sound, like a ch-ch-ch-ch (always four or five in a row), out of one of or all the speakers - I can't really tell where it is coming from, but it only happens when the stereo is on so it has to be something to do with it. It is rather annoying and appears to be quite random in occurence - I haven't been able to tie any one or more conditions to when it happens other than the stereo is always on.

TIA,
