TIP: This is how to Eliminate iPad/iPhone Charger Noise
After installing a new intercom, I got the most annoying noise in my headset from my iPad charger. It sounded like a hamster running on a squeaky excersize wheel.
Now I did have some grounding issues with my intercom installation which I fixed but the hamster was still running.
So, I found a recommendation online for a ground loop eliminator. I found a couple of options online but I chose the one below because of its small size. It was around $10 on Amazon.com.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So I plugged it in between the iPad and the intercom and the noise magically disappeared with no negative effect on the music.
I use a RAM mount for my iPad Mini. Since this thing weighs next to nothing I simply glued it to the back of my mount.
So there you go. You're welcome!

Reason: Hamsters run on wheels, maybe not guinea pigs.

The picture loaded slowly for me and my first thought was that the can was an integral part of the solution... |

Ha! I wanted to put something in the picture that showed the relative size of the unit and I had the can handy.
You guys got me thinking though. Had I just gotten myself another can and some string I could have saved a lot of money on an intercom plus my passenger and I could just sing to each other totally eliminating the hamster!

it's called an audio transformer!
Not a bad price for a packaged solution, especially if you have Prime.

No... the idea is to drink the content of that can and you will stop hearing the noise. TIP: The more you drink the less the noise will get.
