I just got new hearing aids and immediately began hearing a high-pitched whining sound when riding my 2006 GL1800 Roadsmith trike. Having never heard that sound before I was certain something was seriously out of whack. Off to the trike-builder who specializes in Honda conversions and service. He rode it and advised it's alternator whine and my bike was just "average" sound-wise while many were considerably louder. He also advised there are no adjustments as the alternator is not belt-driven.
Short of turning off my hearing aids (which I'm glad are picking up sounds I haven't heard before) are the rest of you experiencing this whine and if so have you been able to mollify, modify or subdue it in any way? Or is it something you just have to get used to?
