It's the fault of the RPi2 hardware, not OSMC. The only way to greatly reduce the noise from the analog out is to use a USB sound card.

I have honestly never used the audio port on an RPI, but the first thing I would be looking at is the quality of your cabling.

The analogue audio quality isn't great, but it can be affected by other devices creating ground noise.
The power supply is most likely, but it can be usb/ethernet/hdmi.
Trying another power supply or disconnecting plugged in devices while audio is playing may identify if the noise comes from a specific component.
