High Pitched Buzzing Sound

I have 6 neon rods wired in my civic. They are all wired to the same power source, and to a switch. Everything worked fine after the first 2 rods were installed, and then after I installed the other 4 rods, I would sometimes get this little little high pitched noice when they are on. It's hard to notice, but when I turn the lights on, then off I can tell that there is a noise. Can anyone help?

No I don't have a system. The sound isn't coming from the speakers, it's really hard to tell where it's coming from.

Is the noise comming from your speakers? or from the neons themselves... if its comming from your speakers you might try moving the power converter (usually is inside the cig. adapter) I ended up running the wires into my engine bay and sodered wires to the prongs on the cig adapter and went from there.. i'm sure there are other ways of going about this but thats the only thing i could think of at the time. good luck.

THe noise is coming from the neons themselves. If I put a magnet near it, the sound gets louder.
