Sounds like alternator whine feeding back through the stereo. Not exactly sure what causes it, but I think you can get noise filters to surpress it.

you have alternator whine CHECK ALL YOUR GROUNDS MAKE SURE THEY ARE TOUCHING BARE METAL, if metal has paint on it SAND off the paint. If that doesnt help you need ground loop isolators you can pick up at radio shack, iam 99% sure this is to a bad ground though somewhere.

if you have a after market stereo you will need to look at all the grounds and try to gound the stereo it self to the chase and not use the stock wire harness.
