I've been trying to track down a minor issue I have with my model3. Every once in a while I get some static/crackling during a song. It kind of sounds like a blown speaker coming from the speaker row near the windsheild. l'm trying to decide if and how I need to bring this up with the service center since I can't really reproduce it. I noted the songs when it happened and later when I went back to reproduce it, it sounded fine. Has anyone else noticed this? Maybe it's just software growing pains? It doesn't bother me too much but I don't want to leave things unaddressed.

I've had it. More in the delivery release of the software than in the subsequent releases (I've had two of those in the past month). Now it's down to maybe one song per week (~5 hours of driving/wk). As you note, it resolves by skipping to the next song, so I can't foresee bothering with trying to get it troubleshot. Good to know others have similar situation. I'm still enamored of the ability to tell my car to play Paradise by the Dashboard Lights whenever the mood strikes, so a bit of crackling once a week or so isn't bothering me.

I have experienced it too. Like you, at first I thought it was a defective speaker but realized once I switched songs that it went away. If it were a blown speaker it wouldn't have gone away. It still does it on occasional songs and I just change to a different one.

I get it maybe once a month now. Putting on 200-300 miles per week. Weird, but not a big deal IMO.
Been happening for a few months now. However it's not as frequent anymore.
You can also get it to go away by pausing and then playing again.

Happened twice in the first 48hrs I had the car but then hasn't again over the last week I've now had it. Both times I just skipped the track like others and it went away. Assuming a software issue and will likely be fixed later. Not a big deal for now I suppose.

Yes i have the same issue, maybe once a week now?
You don't even have to skip the song, just pausing and playing fixes it..Glad to hear it's a known issue.

Other thing I’ve been doing is when it happens, I use the voice command to say “bug report crackling at beginning of song.”
My hope is that they’ll get enough data points to figure out what’s causing the defect.

Anyone still having this issue in v10? My wife’s model 3 still does this. She’s recorded a video and shared it with the SC. All they say is they can reproduce if so they can’t do anything. Speaker connection was good according to them.
I used to get this fairly often and it went away about a year ago, haven't had anything like it since then. When she notices the problem, does pausing and then resuming the song have any impact on the noise? Also try skipping songs and see if it stays or goes away.
Previously either of those two options would (temporarily) fix the problem, curious if it's similar.
I'm having this, I don't know if it's any connection issue but it cuts out couple times a day with just over 1 hr of driving. Static, sub cuts out and then 2 seconds later everything cracks back to normal . I might have to make an appt if the next software doesn't fix it.
