I bought my 2005 nissan Maxima brand new and it has always made this noise. I took it in but the guy said all nissans do that. I do not believe this. I had a 97 Maxima that did not do this. It only makes this noise when I go over speed bumps or when I accelerate at a low speed like when I stop at a stop light and as soon as I press on the gas it makes the noise. The noise is embarrassing

The isolator base would have means for enabling the circuit to operate in spite of a short circuit. A sounder base would have an integral sounder, as for a smoke detector in a living unit. The standard base has neither of these features.
