Radio Reception Question

I have a 2000 lpt wagon, 192,000 miles, well maintained.
The radio reception was always far better than any car in the family until the last year or so when trying to get stations not close by there is a fairly high-pitched tapping noise like some kind of high notes on a xylophone.
Of course you expect to get lesser reception when further away from transmitters, but when it occurs it seems linked to the acceleration of the car.
Press accelerator, noise increases.
No acceleration, no noise.
In older cars I would have looked at plug leads or such but in this car the only thing different that I can think of is that I put in a new DI cassette a year or so ago.
It is still good around town but at any distance it is now nowhere near as good as our other cars. It bugs me and I would love to get rid of it. Would love to get any ideas. Any similar experiences?
