You could try running your ground straight to the battery. Its also a good idea if you run the power wires down one side of the vehicle and the signal wires down the other. You could also try a filter on the power line. You also may wanna search here for posts with engine noise. I imagine you will get some suggestions.

Also try running a grounding strap on your negative post on the battery to a chassis ground. This may help, the newer GM's have poor grounding.

My `99 Silverado had the same problem; I did 3 things and got rid of the whine.

1. Ran an extra ground wire from the back of the HU in addition to the HU harness ground wire.

2. Changed to higher quality RCA`s.

3. Added 2 extra 4 guage ground wires from the battery post-one to the alternator bracket, the other to the body bracing by the radiator.(+ feed line is 2 guage)

All these ideas came from this forum and they work great.
