Bass-like humming coming from speakers when reaching higher RPMs

2019 BIGHORN/LONESTAR 5.7L (6 Speaker) w/o Apline System

Replaced my door speakers with 4-ohm Pioneer 6x9s and Metra 72-6514 wiring harnesses. Now im getting a loud-deep tone that matches the tone of my engine when reaching higher RPMs. Has anyone had this issue when only replacing the speakers? or what do ya'll think it can be?
Thanks

You need to disable active noise cancelation (ANC). This can be done with a bypass harness or de-pinning/cutting 4 wires. I'd go with the bypass harness

Oh wow. Did you have the same issue? I’ve been searching everywhere for this issue. It was driving me nuts

Agree with this. I've been reading up on replacing the speakers, adding an amp and DSP. Many recommend adding this module or it will have strange issues like this.

Yeah, probably ANC. When you change speakers, it alters efficiency and/or phase of the sound, and if it's outside the range the system is designed to handle, you can get oscillation or over-compensation. I disabled mine just on principle, haven't even done anything to the speakers, but did get rid of some odd sounds and an oppressive feel in the cab.

I didn't replace speakers but mine was making strange noises
