Hey, in my car i began to hear a squiking noise whenever i turn up the volume and someone says s, c or z.
I talked to a guy and he recommended me to change speakers. I have now changed speakers, to no avail. The sound is still cutting my ears. I swapped my stock ones with Pioneer TS-G173Ci.
Please give me an answer, listen to music now is an agony

This can be in the recording itself as it makes the vocals stand out from the rest of the instruments. It can also be caused by a peaky or ringing tweeter. It's usually the center of a dome tweeter that contributes most so if you can block that it will help. You can find tweeters that have this built in. You can also try using tone controls or EQ to reduce frequencies from about 2-5khz.

i would normally tell you to turn off reverb ... but can you?
also maybe a problem with your amp. sometimes, poor amps or faulty ones will show symptoms similar to what youre experiencing.

if you have no amp, its the internal one insode your stereo unit. goto stereo manula to find out how to disable reverb

does this happen with only mp3/aac/wma.divx.avi and self made dvds? - youre pre-recording amplification was too high on initial rip, amping an amped song destroys sound clarity, creating this kind of effect.

possible decoding issue also can cause this (stereo firmware).

you wired your hi voltage pre-outs to your speakers instead of amp, making your speakers die when volume turned up.

sorry i cannot be any more helpful than this, im more of a computer nerd, than a stereo expert. this is only what i can recall from trying to help my firend with his stereo issues back in the days of olde. (and let me tell you a funny story about how i somehow wired his stereo up to increase in volume every time he pressed the accelerator ... to this day we still dont know how it was possible and why it worked).

I kind of fixed it, but it's not fully optimal.
I went into the equilizer and tuned the highest frequencies down.
It stills make my ears uncomfortable, but it's much better.
I changed back to the stock ones btw, I found the sound to be more filling.
Thinking about mounting the speakers I bought in the rear, since there are none by default.

There's only one more thing that I am wondering about.
I found out that it's not only the tweeter cutting my ears, but it's also the midtone/bass. I found this strange, but I do not have more time atm to figure it out.
