I have a 2008 Kia Optima sedan with a terrible "hairdryer" sound on
the AM band in ACC mode and when the engine is running. FM reception
is OUTSTANDING and I can lock on to stations up to 80 miles away!
AM? Not nearly as good. Would a capacitor/s help and where should I
place one/them?
Any suggs??

Sounds like the antenna outer coax is not grounded. Alligator clip ground the antenna and
coax at the antenna and see.
The antenna in this car is the in-glass method at the rear window.
Should I alligator it at that end or close behind the radio(that will
require dismantling the dash of which I'm not too inclined?
