Sounds like an airplane is flying close by. Rotating the antenna so that it is perpendicular to the wind direction diminishes the volume somewhat.

If you take a small rope and spiral it around the elements, it will kill 
the aeolian vibrations, if that's what's causing the problem.  About one 
turn every 3-4 feet.
