If its increasing with the rev range it points towards an earth fault usually within the speaker it self. I would whip it out and see if there is a loose wire, if not swap the 2 rear speakers over and see if it continues on the other side. Would also be wirth checking the connections in the back of the HU, possibility of a loose wire to that speaker.
