Headlight modulator causes intercom clicking sound

I installed a Kisan headlight modulator and my intercom picks up a clicking sound in time with the modulation. And it is driving me nuts. I called Kisan and they said they fixed that with a software fix. I got a new model that supposedly has the fix, but it still clicks. Has anyone come across this? I have a ground loop isolator on the aux and a gadget that cleans up the electrical signal, both from Electrical Connections. Those got rid of the alternator whine but not the clicks. Would going to a different modulator brand solve the problem? I am a firm believer in modulators, so ditching it is not an option for me. Any suggestions?
 
Oh yea I have the Diamond brand and if I listen hard enough I hear it. If the radio is on it is less noticeable. I have a 3 way switch tat came with mine. ( slow pulse in high beam only, fast pulse both high and low, and off,)

Per S7.9.4.1, A headlamp on a motorcycle may be wired to modulate either the upper beam or the lower beam from its maximum intensity to a lesser intensity.
Just so you know!
No help on the clicking!Sorry scribe5
 
In my experience, different brands of electronics don't always play well together. I have the Kisan on both the bike and the trike with a U-Clear HBC220 intercom, and no clicking. What brand intercom are you using? Have you contacted them?

Hi John--Thanks...I'm not familiar with the Diamond brand.

I have the Sena Bluetooth headsets and the Sena Bluetooth gizmo that hooks up the driver headset plug in, so radio, intercom and aux are all Bluetooth. I haven't contacted Sena yet.
