My D-700 will make this noise with the vehicle turned of, and I'm
running directly to the battery.
Actually, if you all could hear the sound, it would be apparent that
it isn't alternator or other vehicle based stuff. Whe I first had it,
I thought it might be RF getting into the audio, but it isn't that
either.
I'd say it's like a high pitch bronx cheer that lowers in pitch over
say 1-2 seconds, then goes away.
