Consumer Description

I'm getting an extremely loud static noise from my audio system, even when it's turned off. I've been experiencing this issue for the past year. It seems to be heat related (it's much worse when it's hot outside). I checked online and it looks like many Honda Accord owners are having the same problem (see https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/17-accord-radio-static.550224/). It's so loud that I can't hear anything outside of my vehicle, such as emergency vehicles. I'm surprised there hasn't been a recall for this issue.
