    I'm about to go nuts... Anyone else have a crackling noise literally right next to your left ear? It sounds like that noise a blown speaker makes and it only happens when moving. Radio on or off, smooth road or bumpy. Always. Fcking. There.

    Crackling? People have reported a buzzing noise, usually caused by vibrations of the wiring harness beneath the interior molding.

    Can you post up a video?

    Interesting...I'll play around with it. I'm going to try driving with the door either open a bit or pulled super tight and see if that changes the noise, to verify that that's the cause.
