If its a huming noise then it could be a bad earth or a supresion problem (feed back from your alterenator)

intereference is generally caused by a poor earth connection
try pulling the unit out and adding an extra earth to the changer chassis
if that does not help then you may need to fit a choke(suppressor) in line on the 12v+ supply
