Ferrite absorbs high-frequency noise from the coil (your audio power cord) to solve the noise problem. Audio noise filters can be used to eliminate many ground loop sound/alternator whining problems. It is worth noting that some cars have a car stereo noise filter pre-installed, others may need an external filter.
