Any one have a clue as to what to do to fix this?
Oh, and I have tried three different CB radios. All have similar problems.
Is it a whining noise that changes with the speed of the engine?

How are you wiring the CB? Cigarette lighter, hard wire into a circuit, etc?

There are electrical noise isolators available at places like Radio Shack (stock number 270-051 - I happen to have one sitting here). It sounds like you may need one.
