David:
I have a generator. I have not taken it apart for an inspection. It seems
to work fine, but could be the source. Perhaps worn brushes? It's not
really a whine, and I'm not sure if the speed changes with the engine speed.
Antenna is mounted to the front cowl just ahead of the right side of the
windshield. I will check to see if I have it with the CD player.

Do you have an alternator, or generator? What condition are they in? If you
are only getting the noise on radio, and not on CD or tape, (if you have
those) it would be RF noise, and may not be coming through the wires alone.
Does the noise rise and fall with the engine speed? How / where is your
antenna attached?
I had a monster system I transferred into a company car (Buick--ugh) a while
back. ---even with the help of the area's best car audio shop, they were
unable to eliminate the RF whine. But then, I wasn't willing to rebuild or
replace the alternator or relocate the engine control computer (which was
right on top of the radio in that car).
