Try disconnecting the headunit/amplifier to make sure the speaker next to the glove box isn't making the noise, or just disconnect the speaker, which ever is easier.

Carefully inspect your fuses. Sometime they develop hairline cracks that are almost impossible to see. The elictricity still goes through, but they started buzzing. It happened to me many times. As soon as I hear the buzzing sound, I always start and and almost alway finish in the fuse box.

I have the same sound just start on my car. I will have to try the fuses. Ive heard of issues with this style fuse. A friend says that with this style fuse he fixes half his electricle problems when he picks up a new car by swapping all the old fuses.

i guess if it doesn't make the sound when it's on aux, leave it on aux when you listen to your music, and then you won't hear it, rather than turning to 'on'..??

When I am done driving my car, I turn the key off and get out. Then it doesn't make any noises.
