sort of yes.. its hard to explain it. It sounds as if its not tuned in right and it rises with the revs its very weird i took out the head unit last week as i taught it was the aerial came disconnected but it was not it

Had this and it was to do with wiring its is alternator noise through the power line. One solution is a choke filter on the power line.

Ebay and amazon sell them man maybe halfords they basically suppress the sound. i didn't use one of those i found it was to do with an earth on my amp got a better earth and the sound was gone. Have you had the radio out recently? may have disturbed something.

borrow a mates stereo and see if you still get the noise, prob will but try it to make sure its not your stereo.
alternator suppressors generally do the trick, and as suggested, check earth wire and relocate if need be. check earth before buying a suppressor.
always try things that dont cost money first lol.
basically its all trial and error until you find the solution. the engine noise could be caused by a many number of things, but you generally only get it if running amps, dont here of it much these days if running just h/u and non amped speakers.
