Have a stock system in a legacy gt 2010. In the AM radio band there is a whine from the speakers, but only when there is audio (ie someone speaking or music, etc). When there is a pause in the program and no sound, there is no whine.

The whine does not increase with speed, but does increase when I turn up the volume.

The whine does not happen in the FM/Satellite radio/CD settings.

Any thoughts on what this might be; appreciate any feedback you could provide.

Thanks!

Nope, its just shitty AM quality. AM is the worst of the worst. Most likely noise in the transmission. If it was ALT whine, it would increase/decrease with the RPM of your engine.
