Ford Confronts Strange, Ear-Piercing Static in F-150 Trucks
WSJ | 23 Aug 23 | Nora EckertPhil Floraday was driving his F-150 pickup last fall when his truck’s audio system suddenly emitted a loud, crashing sound that, to him, resembled glass shattering, and then blaring static.
His ears rang for days after the event, he said.
On online forums, F-150 owners have been airing similar accounts of an odd sound, which some describe as a “sonic boom” or “ear-piercing static.” Drivers, in some cases, were able to turn it off right away. Others say it lasted for 15 minutes or more, persisting even after the car was shut off.

Don’t smoke weed and drive.
There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a sound from my radio there
Deaf’nin’ me, I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
EV truck compliance is comin’ ’round
There’s battle lines bein’ drawn
Nobody’s right if ev’rybody’s wrong
Gov’ment people speakin’ their minds
Gettin’ so much resistance from behind
I think it’s time we stop, children,
What’s that sound?
EV truck compliance is comin’ ’round
What a field day for the heat.
Takin’ all ICE engines off the street.
Tellin’ lies and threat’nin’ us all
Mostly saying “Fossil fuels, they must fall”
Stop, children, what’s that sound?
EV truck compliance is comin’ ’round
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line the man come and take you away
You better stop, hey, whats that sound?
EV truck compliance is comin’ ’round
That sounds like my cousin Snowball.
Channel Z?
The Illudium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator
ZZ Top takes a little acclimation.
So, What Could the Sound Be?
Is it live, or is is Memorex?
So, What Could the Sound Be?
We will always have difficulty with the Romulans if we continue to stifle their attempts to communicate.
One word… Mermaids.
Yoko Ono has released a new single…
Banshees
Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of Cylons
For a second i thought you were going to say…the sound of Cybernetic Life-form Nodes.
Where’s the KABOOM, There’s supposed to be an earth shattering KABOOM
No more R2-D2, C-3PO cosplay conventions out in the sticks’ll cure y’all from that. Funnier than hittin’ a deer though.
The FBI got their recording devic es too close to the speakers.
I believe that is the new V2V (Vehicle to vehicle) communications they keep talking about.
