There are a few possible causes. If the static changes with engine revs then you have a suppression issue. If the noise is general regardless of whether the engine is running then you need to look at the antenna or the radio itself.
Ignition noise will typically produce a "tic, tic, tic" sound on the radio and is likely to be due to arcing around the HT leads or distibutor.
The alternator can produce a whining noise if the suppressor is bad.
The antenna can perform badly if it is damaged or if its earth connection to the car bodywork does not make a good electrical contact.
If you think it might be your radio try substituting another.
AM radio is naturally has more static than FM. But if it has so much static that the really powerful or local stations are fizzy, that means you need a better antenna.
Yes, radio static is a sort of afterglow fro the big bang, and can be detected in every direction in the universe.
What you want to build is a radio transmitter. It takes a bit more than just a coil, however you might try looking up "spark gap radio transmitter" as it is very simple and was the first type of radio transmitter built. Basically it transmits bursts of radio static.
It's called static electricity. The 12 volt system in cars and trucks are not enough to shock someone. Even 24 volt systems found in buses and heavy trucks are not enough to feel. So it has to be static electricity somehow.

He went to install her new radio for her car before she could return it.
You need to make sure that your antenna is fully extended. You also need to drive away from power lines.
Could be a wire crossing in the speakers, the radio itself might be bad. Does it do it all the time? Speakers might be blown. Or, your antenna lead is not plugged into the rear of the radio. Is it radio static, or does it have static on cd/tape as well?
AM radios are based on the principle of sound waves being sent through the air. If the AM radio station has static, you may wish to move to a new area where reception is better.
When the radio in a Hyundai XG300 becomes all static, it is possible that the antenna is damaged. It could also be possible that the antenna is loose on the back of the radio.
sounds like a ground problem to me..
Radio static letters : "EMI"
it depends on the car or the radio or they way it was fix.
A car antenna booster is used to 'boost' the radio waves of the car's antenna. This is usually used to improve radio quality and reduce static that might be heard.
Check your wiring. It sometimes interferes with other wires
Go to Radio SHack . Radio shack has parts and upgrades to fix any Zip Zap
my radio has static in it an i put another one in it an it still has static in it to.
you probably have a short in your wireing
