JBL stereo speakers have static / hissing / white noise when not in use

[Fishing]

So my audio sounds fine and everything “works” as it should but I DO have a “static” , hissing , or white noise in my speakers (any of them mostly the front driver dash board). When its dead quiet i can hear noises from the speakers with my volume turned off whether its connected to car play or radio. Im just wondering if anyone has this happening to them? Should i be worried something is failing because it seems ok right now.

Hi, have you figured this out yet? My front drivers side JBL is having this same thing going on, it’s just loud enough to notice it and bother me but it’s not anything super crazy… it’s like a high pitch?

i am probably guessing its the ESE (aka fake engine noise) system during idle times causing some low level feedback

I might get a carista and try disabling the ESE and ANC to see if this still persist. I've gotten used to the high pitch hybrid noises when in electric mode but the speakers are almost unbearable sometimes. Worst case I go to the dealer ( I DO NOT want to)

Did you ever fix this or find out why this was happening?

does it start immediately or do you have to drive for a few minutes to get it to start?

does it vary with engine rpm?

does it get worse if you connect a phone through Bluetooth or apple car play?

If you are taking a phone call through the car or listening to a podcast can you still hear it?

do you like to drive in silence a lot?

I experienced this same issue with a previous car of mine. I was never able to figure it out, but what made me keep my sanity was always keeping the radio on and then always keeping the fan running. If it was cold I’d just close the front vents and keep the rear vents open to still hear the fan noise strongly.
