It's one reason why cheap amps are cheap.

The crazy thing is, this isn't alternator noise. It happens when the ignition is on, but the engine not running. Pressing the accelerator changes the volume of the noise, not the pitch. It sounds like a dirty pot, kind of scratchy as I move the pedal and different throttle positions result in the noise getting louder or completely silent.
