Speaker Static Sound

Hi everyone, was wondering if yall can help me found out what the heck is going on
Recently, after about 15 minutes of driving, especially when driving hard, a static sound starts to come from the speakers. I believe only the front center speaker is doing the sound, but I've noticed it only tends to do it when I'm turning. Driving in a straight line seems to be fine but whenever I turn the sound starts and wont stop for a few seconds. It is especially noticeable if I turn hard. The noise will begin even if I never turn on the radio! To add to this, I recently installed a backup camera (noise was present even before installation), and noticed that whenever the static noise appears, the backup camera turns on in Reverse Mode (the one where you get the backup camera and reverse guide lines). This promted me to check the reverse lights on the back and they do turn on when the static noise begins! They turn off after a few seconds, and the camera switches back to normal driving mode again. I dont have the slightest clue of what might be going on, any help would be appreciated.

How do you have the backup camera wired into the reverse switch? If the switch.fails it possibly will turn it on.
Maybe disconnect it and see if your interference goes away....
Also check the wires in the area you were working to see if there is anything strange.
You also could have something going on with the steering rack. It draws a lot of power and could be causing the feedback as well

How would I go about checking the steering rack? What am I looking for? I mean I know where to find it but how could I tell if there is something wrong?
