Engine sound in speakers
I just installed a new radio/cassette/cd player in my 85 vette. It works great but there's a slight whistling sound in the speakers when I am driving the car. It increases and decreases with changes in acceleration. Any suggestions???

Could be a bad ground, or exposed wire somewhere between the radio and the antenna..
or.
Could be your ignition wires are old and causing EM interference..
I had a few times in the past years, and after swapping ignition wires, the noise went away...

i would check to see if the sound is coming from one or all speakers...if it's just one, check the wiring for the particular speaker
if its all of them, the check the ground for the stereo
those are usually the culprits

It could be worse....you could have speaker sounds in your engine..... :D
Seriously....it sounds like alternator noise. Check for solid connections at all harnesses and make sure the stereo has a good ground connection. Any car audio shop or Radio Shack will sell an assortment of noise suppression stuff.
