Yes. One of the causes of feedback -known as a ground loop, is caused by slight voltage differences between ground points. The car body as a ground system has differing resistance across the various ground points. It is also possible that even though you may ground to a single point, that point isn't a good one.

Check the Wiki and the FAQ for more info searching on terms "ground loop" or "whine".
