Loose connection on the iPod connector. It's okay when it's not moved but touching the iPod while it's on creates static through speakers. They replaced the cable but that didn't help.
wire harness was moved due to rubbing toghether, causing a fault code.

There was a whining noise (or a growl) whenever the ac was on. The noise fluctuated with the engine rpm's. There was a TSB service bulletin out for this year model mini, which involved adding a vibration damper to the compressor. Noise gone.
