That's common for breadboard circuits with high gain. Because the circuit is amplifying anything untill it's real loud (like gains of 200), any interference that's picked up will be audible. A breadboard doesn't shield circuitry from radiation from the air, so when you put it in a metal box the noise will be much less.
