Radio transmission leaves constant static noise

Since some updates a triggered radio transmission will start to produce a static noise on the radio frequency selected, as if the sender doesn't stop transmitting.

It is not related to squelch settings.

In the AH-64D the noise can't be stopped by pulling the knob (radio to off). Master Volume affects the static noise, but not individual radio volumes.

Only if you switch the frequency the static noise stops (so I suspect it is related to the specific frequency used in the trigger).

A squad mate suggested it is possibly coming from a beacon?

But I too get it and have change the FM frequency in my beloved Apache to stop the noise.

Watching a video this morning from "47Driver" (He is an actual current Hook pilot and his videos are very good, he seems to have a lot of respect for the ED model) he mentioned the same issue that can be removed by pulling up the knobs (see below - its at about 6:06 in the video)

The noise wasn't there a couple updates, ago. Same Mission. 

So no. It's not a beacon, or issue with something on the map.

It typically happens, after a transmission per script is triggered and finished, as if the sender keeps the microphone open. Though it is not related to the squelch settings, from what I could check, so far.

I am getting similar in my F-16.  Had to turn off helmet comms and just go by the text.  it will go off sometimes for a bit but as soon as another communication comes through it starts again.

I had this issue as well. I don't know if this has even been acknowledged, but I found what was causing it on my end. This only seems to happen on certain maps/airfields and it is intermittent.

For me it was the VHF Comms. I think this is always blasting static, it is just louder sometimes depending on the mission. I have a track here if someone wants to investigate.

If this is not a bug or has already been acknowledged, disregard post.

THANK YOU! Was driving me crazy. Yes, well. It's not FROM a beacon, it's when you don't get a signal. It was introduced a way back in many modules. I had just forgotten.

Same problem, loud static noise both on A10CII and F-16, too bad thanks to this, SP missions for A10C are nearly unplayable.

In A10-C switching to another frequency and back on the ARC-164 set makes it go away for me. Not sure about F-16 but worth a try.

Unfortunately it's neither a beacon, nor an airfield frequency (at least on the Afghanistan map). It's also not exclusive to VHF, it is also happening with FM radios/transmissions.

Again, I suspect this to be related to a script/trigger radio transmission, as it seems to occur only after the first transmission from a unit/trigger...

I can't pin it to a specific trigger/frequency, we changed both frequency and transmitting unit, but it makes no difference.

I've found something interesting:

tldr: Voice chat PTT cuts the transmission and "closes" the channel/noise gate/squelch

Weekend MP session, was flying an OH-58D Kiowa. Radio noise was present as before, but I have mapped the Voice chat PTT to a rudder pedal brake as a "foot button". So when I accidentally pressed the pedal in flight, the static stopped.

I could verify the PTT button a) cuts of any script triggered transmission over the current selected radio and b) closes the channel/noise gate/squelch so the static stops.

Before someone asks: We were using Discord for comms between pilots as it's convenient for instructions, testing the mission and talking about what goes wrong. So we don't used DCS Voice chat often at the moment.

I'll crosscheck if this is the same in the AH-64D and map VoIP PTT.

This static problem is really a pain.  I've been trying to play @baltic_dragon's Iron Flag campaign and it's almost unusable because the instructor voice start with a small amount of static, but the the volume of the static increases with each line until the voice is almost unintelligible.  I've had to turn up the font size and turn the FM radio volume almost off to just read the dialog.   Hardly the immersive experience I wanted in buying the campaign....   
I couldn't get voice chat PTT to help as a workaround either, but I didn't try it multiplayer in the campaign of course.
Other things that don't work:
Changing audio settings, changing frequency, cycling the radio on/off, turning off all other radios and sounds, replacing the VoiceChat static.wav file.

I have the same problem if the f18. It is only BRA or ATC calls that cause this. I can hardly make out what they are saying the static is so loud and there is no way to turn it off. The mission voice sounds when playing MP sound fine as do other players using SRS. It starts to give me headache after awhile then is just annoying as hell. Please fix this asap. This has been happening for awhile for me now.

Tested the Voice Chat PTT on the Apache. Same behavior as reported above.

But as others pointed out, this doesn't help in Campaigns, and honestly it's still an annoying bug, that is unnerving to say the least.

And it's not isolated to a specific module or map, either.

Have the same problem in MP missions while using SRS. (Voice Chat & Turn Server are off in Options.)
In my case, if there is a continuous static from the radio (SRS) clicking once for UHF and VHF buttons (the ones set in SRS) get rid of the static instantly for me. (Tested in F-16)
Best regards,

This issue started when the Squelch noise was added to the viper at the start and end of transmissions. I've not noticed it in other modules. Randomly and Intermittently, that squelch noise will get stuck on. causing a loud blast of static through the radio. the only way to get rid of the noise is to cycle the radio channel. 

No mods installed. Track file available upon request.  

Please comment bellow if you have also experienced this in the Viper.

I've seen this not only in the Viper but also in Kiowa and in the Apache. On a hunch, it could be the DCS VoIP related thing but I don't have any conclusive evidence to show, only that I've experienced it in multiple modules.

Had this one too,

for me it happed with UHF, after ordering a wingman to rtb.

After checking in with a tanker a few min later on the same mission, the statics where gone.

Edit:

I think i still have the track of that mission, will check later.
