Interference, most probably from the spark plugs. Make sure the radio has a good earth for starters.

It's an RF suppressor. There are several sources of RF interference possible however. If it picks up interference with CD's etc as well as the radio it must be pretty strong and will be being picked up by the speaker wiring. I'm sure you can google up some good background info - stuff on reputable manufacturers websites would be best. A lot of OTT bumpf is spoken when it comes to car hifi.
