Speaker Buzzing/Static Issue When Command is Turned on

My car is is a 2006 and is equipped with the Harman Kardon audio option. It has also been upgraded to the NTG 2.5 Command system. Not really sure what all they did to make everything work, but I’m having an issue right now where if the command system is turned on and no music is playing, there is a constant low noise static/buzzing coming from the passenger side speakers. Anyone have any idea what could fix this issue? The car has also been modified with an Alpine subwoofer and what looks to be an alpine amp. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

switching inputs

try to switch things around to figure what's wrong.

You may find the Low buzzing on your passenger side is from a funky bad GND loop into the aftermarket interface.

By switching things around you see if problem moves or stays put - Same exact principle is done to troubleshoot misfiring cylinders: sparkplugs vs. coils vs. injectors
