Default Stupid Electrical Gremlins

OK so I posted a thread about this a month or so ago but no one had any good ideas. When my car is on I get electrical noise through the speakers. I've decided its not engine noise because the pitch doesn;t change under acceleration. It stays there when the stereo is off and the headlights/turnsignals make it worse. I've checked for loose grounds on the alternator (I think) and corroded battery cables, what I thought to be the general suspects but no improvement. Anyone have any ideas or ever experienced this before? If so how do I fix it....other than by turning up the radio!

Well to have some one post on this so you don't feel too alone... Check the pigtail on the back of the stereo...

I don't know Bill, though I've seen his name on a few things on here. So far I havent added anything to the electrical.
