Weird Sound

In my 87 Trans Am when I turn on the radio a humm comes out of all the speakers. If I step on the gas the pitch goes higher. What could this be? How do I fix this?:hail:

you'll also get that sound if a plug wire is loose or some wire from distributor..Check all those hook up because they cause staic and weird noises

What you probably have to do is get a decent set of radio suppresion spark plug wires.
The cheap wire sets just don't cut it.
This should clear up the problem.

Not a good enough ground. I believe you can buy a filter for that problem from Radio Shack or similar.
