Static sound coming from speakers?

I'm getting this crazy sound, very loud, static coming from front and rear drivers side speakers. Radio station was tuned to a good working station so that's not an issue. I took a video but not sure how to share it on here so you can hear it. Truck is just over a month old from brand new, today it hasn't done it, so not sure if there is any point in taking it into the dealer if its not always doing it, but wondering if anyone has experienced this as well and what was the fix?
Thanks!

I have 20' TRDP, no statics here and I am very OCD on odd noises too.

I say you just take it to the dealer, since it's brand new, such thing should be perfect to your standards. If it's a speaker problem I am sure it's an easy fix for the dealers.
 
You are not hearing things. I have a 2021 TRD Off road and have the same issue. Almost sounds like something hitting the drivers side door - very loud and startling. Have not taken to dealer yet because it’s so intermittent.

It only happened that one time, never again so far...no point in taking it in I don't think at this time.
 
Have had something happen like that once in my 2016 Limited a couple weeks back. Hasn't happened since. No idea what happened but I definitely haven't been able to reproduce it
 
was there ever a resolution to this issue? I have a 3 month old 2023 trd pro and it just happened to me once last week. Now it's not happening.
Thanks

Bump to see if anyone ever found a root cause.

Have had this happen a few times on my '21 Nightshade. At startup just pure noise/static with volume control and power button having no effect. Power on, you can tell the selected source is still playing through the noise, power off and source is gone, but still noise. Power cycle the vehicle and gone.

I'm inclined to think it's in the JBL amp's DSP module. I had the same thing happen a few times in the 19 years I owned the '03 Limited...audio system kept original the entire time (including cassette player). From a design/mfg efficiency perspective, it stands to reason that JBL reused as much of the design from generation to generation as possible.
 
Wow, just found this. Same thing happened to me this morning in a day old pro. Everything was fine, then came out of the store and it all started screeching at start up. Unplugged the ipod, changed stations and nothing worked. Loud as hell. Finally hit some source, after trying to turn it off, and it quit. Got home, turned it (the truck) off and back on again…perfect. Very unsettling. Not my first 4Runner, so this is a very new experience.
