Cracking noise - maybe from speaker?

ShootingSight · Friday at 7:00 PM

Occasionally, I'll unlock the car, and open the door, and just as I open it, there is a single 'crack' noise. Sounds like from behind the driver's seat. It sounds like a spark went through the amplifier and caused a speaker to pop. I can't make it happen, and it does not always happen. Anyone else noticed this?

Everyone has this.

Seriously? This is a known issue? Is there a solution, or at least a known cause?

Normal, probably CAN noises waking up through amp/speakers

I think the leading hypothesis is some kind of grounding issue or air pressure. It’s annoying but not unique to your car.

Definitely sharper than air pressure. My first impression was some sort of static electric charge that gets grounded through the amp when I open the door.

It's the kind of thing I would expect a serious car company to address if it is a known issue. But I guess if you are teetering on insolvency, putting resources towards an issue that is not losing sales is a bad business choice.
