a ground somewhere. They also make filters for the alternator noise but if you didn't have a problem before than you shouldn't have a problem now.

I suggest re-checking your wiring work. Especially the ground and all the power wires (main and remote), etc.

if you just twisted and taped wires without soldering or even using a butt connector i'd say fix that first and then go hunting for bad grounds if the noise persists.
