Your question is kinda vague. Does it sound like wind is blowing through the vents? Try to be a little more descriptive with your problem.

when i drive, it sounds as if there was an interference between the engine and the speakers. when i accell, i here a static whine. when i tried to listen to the speaker while revving, the sound wasn't coming from the speakers, but rather from the ac/heat vents.

do you have any aftermarket stereo stuff? deck? amps/subs?

It's nothing that uncommon to get some static through the speakers from the engine. Happens more than you would think. Especially with the gm lan system

Blower motor maybe ,does it get faster when the fan speed is increased or go away?

If it is infact coming from the speakers it could be a alternator problem.

It could just be engine noise resonating through the vents... Its hard to tell since I haven't really seen a problem like that and I can't actually hear the noise for myself.

If it helps any, it comes more from the middle vents than the side ones. Also I can't hear the noise under the hood.

i know this may seem a little strange....but this somewhat sounds like spark blowout/knock

i used to get it ALOT when i had stage 2 and ran 91 octane.

then once i got my interceptor i nearly **** my pants seeing how much knock their was....and it corresponded exactly to that weird sound.

94 octane and some tuning, and i havent heard it since.

minor knock basically isnt audible.
its measured by sensors that pick up the vibrations caused by knock.

these sensors can be monitored a few ways, Aeroforce interceptor, HPtuners etc.
