First thing that came to mind is interference from the engine to the speakers.
Some vehicles come with a wired in resistor to clean the power up from the battery.

Years ago in my dads 97 c1500 he put in an old style hands free with the corded mic and speaker that plugged into the cig lighter. As he drove, the speaker unit made that high pitched whirring noise and it got louder with revs. It was the injector pulses that were being picked up. Just my 2 pennies.

Default hey

Yes it changes with rpm. And if i change the load on it. It quiets are gets louder. My 1st thought was tourque converter bolts lose. But its top of the motor or bell housing area. And for some reason my valves are starting to chatter more any thoughts?

Do you have a stethoscope? If not you can use a clean extension. Put it on the engine and in your ear. Keep moving it around the engine until you find it. Sounds funny but it works.

Also maybe disconnect the serpentine belt to confirm that it isn't any of your accessories making noises.
