So I've got this weird thing going on with my 2022 SE - when I shut it down, there's this faint hissing or static noise coming from the speakers. Anyone else hearing that? Coz I hear this stuff all the dang time. This whole thing kicked off like a month back. Kinda makes me wonder if it's munching on electricity even when it's supposed to be off. Any ideas on how to sort it out or if it's just one of those quirks not worth fussing over?
 
Did you upgrade your sound system? As for my other car, when I got my aftermarket sound system installed, I got some of this static crossover coming from the speakers.
 
@LoudyRowdy From what you're describing, it sounds like the part of the speaker that detects if there's actually any sound coming through might be broken.

A lot of these active speakers have this annoying auto on/off feature, and you can't even turn it off! I just want a simple "On" button when I want to listen to music, even if there's a few minutes of silence between songs. And a simple "Off" button when I'm done. It's really frustrating.

Yep, it happened with my 2022 Mini Cooper SE too, I noticed a faint noise from the speakers when I powered off too. Turns out, it's likely related to the car’s electrical system or a quirk in the speaker system itself. I had a tech check it out, and they mentioned it could be related to the car’s standby mode. If it’s not draining too much power, it might not be urgent.
