I am not sure if this is normal or if I have a probelm. I recently noticed a faint electronic "crackling" sound when I get in my car (2008 convertible) and also hear it after I shut the engine off. I just bought the car 2 weeks ago and did not initially notice this sound and am concerned that I may have an elecrical problem, although the car seems to run fine. Could this be the FOB communicting with computer?

The FOB is transmitting RF but you can't hear it...can you tell where the sound is coming from? Speakers maybe? Cell phone interference?
If the sounds like a spark or arching you have a short somewhere possibly and need to seek it out quickly.
