Static/Crackling on iPhone 6

Hello,

I have a 64gb iPhone 6 and lately I have been having issues with a crackling/static noise when using the podcast and music apps. It happens sporadically when I have headphones plugged in and it also happens when plugged into my car via USB or Bluetooth. It started a couple months ago. Has anyone had this issue and fixed it?

I tried a restart and clearing out the headphone plug, but that did not seem to work.

Thank you.

iPhone 6, iOS 11.4.1

Noises coming from earpiece speaker My iPhone 11 Pro max is making weird static, ticking, crackling noises coming from the earpiece speaker. This happens when I’m using my phone, typing, on a call, or even just scrolling on my Amazon app. Is there anything I can do from home to remedy this? If it makes any difference I got a notification recently saying that my headphone usage had been up too high but I only connect it to my car usually.
