I thought it was the dension that was causing the problem. But I plugged the CD changer back in and the problem is still there..
Here is what im hearing.

sounds like a loose connection or short circuit, creating this static sound. Go back to everythind yo have done and make sure you have all connections plug in properly.

Thanks for the help. I wonder what could it be? Im guessing it wont be the optical cable to the dension/CD changer..
And one thing is, everything seems to be working fine..
One more thing, this happened right after I washed my car
Could water have dripped into somewhere and cause a short?

Wow that is insanely annoying. Is the sound constant or does it go away after a while? If it did in fact happen because of water leaking into the electrical compartment after your car wash i would look underneath your spare saver or around your fuse box in the trunk. Hope all gets resolved/

try checking your ground connection. if it is properly fastened. Also try to add additional ground. That might help.
After it stopped did it do this?
