Help Buzzing sound when using aux port in car

I got my Droid Turbo yesterday, so far it's pretty great. I did have one issue I've run into that I'm not sure what to do about. My car doesn't have bluetooth, but it does have an AUX port that I can plug into the headphone jack of a phone to listen to music. This works just fine on my Samsung Galaxy S4.

After I got my new phone I plugged in the same headphone cable and started listening to music. I noticed a faint but apparent buzzing or fuzzy sound in the background, you could hear it more if you paused the song or between songs. I tried several different songs, music players, and even Audible, they were all doing the same thing.

Finally I unplugged the car charger and the buzzing sound went away. The car charger is a Verizon one I got with my S4, it's plugged into the 2.1A plug. Obviously I can drive around without it on the charger, but that doesn't seem like a great solution. Anyone else have any ideas?
