Weird whining noise from speakers.

Haha ^^^
Sounds like somebody on this thread needs a cookie
Anyways, my sis's Avalon does the same thing after a new headunit was put in..The best way to get rid of that is bypassing the amp, which Im still debating on which route to take... Maybe just rewiring from the deck, to where the stock amp is and splicing the wires. Or get a 4 channel amp..

The Alternator Whine
I just redid the sound system on my 95 ES and i had a terrible whine. My Solution: I played with the HU ground wire, i tried grounding it to the ground wire in the factory wire harness, and then i finally grounded it to a metal piece behind the radio and Voala,,,,,sound gone. if that doesn't work, these other suggestions are not a bad route...

Alternator whine is exactly what you are hearing. As the others here have said, either by-pass the stock amp completely with a new one or re-ground the ground wire from the HU to any hter metal piece insteadof the factory harness and it should disappear.
Quickest way for a newbie to make enemies here is to come into ANY of these respectable forums and start insulting the other members here who are very helpful. This is a forum and opinions are gona vary immensly from one person to another. Please be more respectable in you further post as it will also come back to you in great amounts. Even you yourself suggested a complete bypass of the stock amp. Other suggestions were offered as well in case complete by-pass was not a financial option for him.

Engine whine noise in aftermarket head unit ES300
Recently I replaced the stock stereo of 97 ES300 with aftermarket unit. I did put in ground loop isolators upfront. Final result, I do hear some engine whine (very low though) when I accelerate car, it goes away as soon as i release accelerator pedal. I saw one post here where ground black wire of head unit was grounded to the back metal of unit itself, but i was not clear on two things a) was black wire from the battery/car's wiring harness completely disconnected or that was kept connected too b) Did this solution work for anyone else so far?
I want to retain factory amp and not finger around that area as it is just going to be more complex for me to handle.
Here is my youtube video of how I did my stereo replacement.

@steveo, I did ground the HU wire to the chassis but noise is still there, did you ground only the
HU ground wire or did you joined HU ground wire and aftermarket harness ground wire and attached them to chassis ?
