Ford F-150 B&O sound system issues with loud pop and crackling noise disrupting functionality on Ford F-150

Some Ford F-150 owners report experiencing issues with the B&O sound system, including loud popping and crackling noises that disrupt audio functionality. These disruptive sounds have been described as deafening pops, booms, and excessively loud crackling static, with some users even suffering from severe earaches due to the noise. Additionally, these problems can occur even when the audio system is turned off or the volume is set to zero, and they may persist despite attempts to adjust the volume or turn off the stereo. In certain cases, owners find that the volume cannot be lowered or turned off until the vehicle is parked and completely shut down. It is recommended that affected owners contact a Ford dealership or authorized service center for assistance in resolving these issues.
