HK tweeters always "on"?

Hi. Recently taken delivery of a 116 ED F20 on a company car lease scheme. I opted for the HK sound and i must say i am slightly disappointed with it. At first it was really boomy and the treble was quite harsh and tinny. It does seem to be "warming up" as others have commented on here. That aside ive noticed something that i dont think is right....

The door tweeters always seem to be "on". By this i mean whatever mode the car is in (fully off, electrics on, engine started etc) the tweeters make a fair bit of white noise all by themselves. Almost like a sssssssssshhhhhhhh noise, like youd get on an old recording on tape or vinyl. It the same if the hifi is on, you can hear it when the volume is down low and now that ive heard it i find it hard to "un-hear" it. Ive been round the car and no other speakers have this effect.

Is this normal? can anyone else with HK do a quick check for me please?

Thanks in advance...
