Some Ford F-150 owners have been hearing a “sonic boom” or “ear-piercing static.” Sometimes, drivers can turn it off, but other times it lasts way too long.
Ford says its related to the amplifier in the vehicles’ sound systems, which seems obvious.
Without detailing the actual cause, the company says that it has developed a software fix that customers can get at or through a downloadable update. The fix supposedly adjusts the amplifier to filter out the speaker noise. The Journal reported that in online forums, F-150 owners have been hearing 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.
A spokesperson from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the agency is aware of the issue.
