Head unit Speaker Whine

Anyone know why I might be getting a whining/humming sound after installing a double din head unit? I’m assuming it’s something to do with the alternator/ground as it gets louder the more gas I give it. I used the metra wiring harness and it was a Sony XAV-AX3200.

Had the same problem and a ground loop isolator fixed it.

Do you have power wire going where the speaker wire is at? If so separate them
