have you corrected this issue your self? where did you get your ground loop isolator.
Also the ferrite bead doesn't help

Sorry for the late reply, but I have finally bought all the necessary things to tackle this problem. It wasn't cheap either. 
#1. Kensington LiquidAux Deluxe package - ~$70
#2. Auxiliary cable -> Dual red+white wire -$7.69
#3. Ground loop isolator -$18.31 inc tax
#4. Red+white wire -> Auxiliary cable - $3.99
So in the end, I paid about 100 dollars for this setup, 30 dollars if you don't buy the kensington liquidaux deluxe like I did. I do like it, and it works like a charm, the only downside is that there is one wire leading from my waterfall to my center compartment box. I wonder if I can drill a few holes to hide it.
PS. Ground loop isolator = success, just try to find one that goes from auxiliary -> ground loop isolator -> auxiliary, that way you don't have to buy so many things like I did.

Maybe I should have bought this one....
