One possibility: Static generated by the engine, most likely in the ignition system.
If the spark plug and distributor wiring hasn't been changed in several years, that's
a good possibility right there. In line filters can be purchased pretty cheaply that will take out this interference. They are just put between the power source and the radio.

Did Edwin Armstrong invent the radio?
No, he did not, but he was certainly important in radio's growth and development. Edwin Howard Armstrong invented what we today know as FM radio. (Early radio used only the AM process to add sound to a radio wave.) Armstrong's invention improved the quality of the sound and made radio less likely to be affected by static.
Can radio waves pass through clouds?
Clouds interfere with radio signals because the density of the cloud can cause static with the radio signal. The air can also interfere with the signal.

2001 Chevrolet Blazer making FM radio noise only while vehicle is running even with a new radio and new antenna the static won't go away any ideas?
I suspect problem is related to ignition system coil not properly grounded. Look for loose or corroded chassis ground/shield wires. Did you recently replace spark plug wires? If so, it is possible that they are are not ideally shielded and thus emitting electrical noise which your radio is picking up (static). If the static occurs only when car is runing, it is related to the electrical (either ignition system or battery charging system- alternator, regulator, etc..).

How do you fix static from a radio?
This is not a joke. Hey, this may sound really weird but I was having suddenly a great deal of static on my AM radio at home. This has gone on for weeks. Well, the other day I set a spray can of Old Spice "Red Zone" deodorant next to and touching the radio. The static was gone. When I pick up the can the static comes back. The can has to be placed at exactly the right spot where the internal antenna is. The can looks like brushed aluminum. I've tried other things but only this works. I have no idea why it works, but it does. I know this sounds weird but it works for me. I guess so I wish my radio could do that!!! When I folded my flip phone on the antenna it worked too.
