FM is inherently much more noise free. That was it's big advantage 
from the start and the reason that the audiophiles prefer it. I 
suspect that if you switch to your AM setting you will hear a lot of 
radiated ignition noise, but that's irrelevant if you never use the AM.

When I was a kid I could never understand why our local station 
chose to broadcast baseball games on their FM half, and in stereo!
