Default Tweeters buzzing

On my 2008 electric glide, I have installed a diamond 600 W amplifier, aquatics stereo, 4- 6 1/2”
speakers, And two tweeters where the oil pressure gauge and ambient temperature gauge used to be.
Key on, engine off, no music playing from the stereo to speakers, I get a annoying buzzing sound through the tweeters until I pull the brake. Then it stops. Everything is quiet like it should be.
I would appreciate it if one of you could steer me in the right direction

Were is the remote turn on wire from the amp wired in for power?? Is there 12 plus volts going to the remote turn on wire without
activating the brake light circuit?
Were is the remote input switch set at?

If the problem still exists start checking
suggestions below.

It sounds like a poor connection either on the power supply side of the amp or a ground loop issue possibly caused by a faulty RCA cable.

If you still can't find the issue causing the noise maybe post your location and MAYBE there is a forum member close to you that may be available to swing by and give you a hand

Floor noise the horns are very efficient it’s a trade off on setting gains

I will try these things that you have suggested. When I get through troubleshooting I will come back and post to my findings. Thanks for the input

It was the brake light, turn signal, stoplight, and module. End post.
