Default Motor Wind Noise

Anything plugged into the Aux Input on the stock HK head unit makes a very annoying motor wind noise. What's the fix for that, other than not using the Aux In?

hmmm, I exclusively use my aux input for my blackberry mp3 and also my garmin nuvi with mp3 player and turn by turn directions the aux has better sound quality than the Nuvi fm transmitter. sounds excellent, no whistling at all. sounds like an ignition/electrical interference problem. is it under warranty?

Yeah, it's under warranty. I just got Screamin Eagle gauges off Ebay (great buy, and they look awsome). I should have put them on myself. The bike was having 5k svc..I asked them to install the gauges. I already had RoadTech GPS on the bike...they must have done something to that, as I never had the noise before...I guess I'll rewire the GPS, and hopefully that'll get rid of the noise...
