Loud, obnoxious, intermittent iPhone feedback.  Help!

I have experienced the following both when using my iphone with a tape adapter in my car, as well as when it is sitting near my house speakers.
In the car, I will have the phone plugged into the adapter, listening to music, when all of a sudden this ear-piercing, shocking static-like shriek comes out of the speakers. It isn't just a bit of static...it's really, REALLY loud and has prevented me from using the iPhone in the car until now.
I'm interested in picking up some type of FM transmitter, but want to hold off until I know if it will suffer the same problem.
Can somebody help? I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere...I looked but couldn't find anything specific to my problem.
Cheers,
Tyler

Yes, unfortunately, this is completely normal. I have issues with it too.
Other than the obvious options (keep the iPhone away from speakers, get better speakers, Airplane Mode, etc.), pretty much the only thing you can do is to get a metal iPhone case that at least partially covers the top edge of the phone. This can increase shielding. (BoxWave's Armor Case is one such case. http://www.boxwave.com/products/armorcase/armor-case-apple-iphone_2661.htm )
In my experience, most silicon, leather, and plastic cases do not really provide any shielding whatsoever against GSM interference. This may sound a little silly, but you'll need to remember that "just because a case is shiny doesn't mean it's really metal."
