Sound System Honda Pilot 2016

I have a 2016 Pilot Touring that is giving me a perplexing problem. After having the audio system turned on for a few minutes (regardless of whether the car engine is on or off), I start hearing static noise - faintly at first, then it builds louder and louder until it overcomes whatever I was listening to. It happens whether I am listing to radio, iPod, Bluetooth, or phone. Doesn't matter whether I am listening to music, podcast, or audiobook. The static is in front and rear, left and right. It gets so loud that finally there is no way to hear anything else.

Now here's the weirdest part: The only thing NOT affected is the navigation system "voice" - so if I'm going somewhere using the navigation GPS system, the voice that comes on to tell me to turn or go straight is not affected by the static - I can hear "her" voice perfectly fine coming through the "center channel" speaker.

I have tried turning off the A/C, but doesn't affect the static problem.

But why is the Nav system the only thing not having the problem? I am wondering if the Nav system has a different amplifier.

    Hi. As I know for voice of nav in some models of car they use another special speaker. It use it only for voice of NAV only. Its can explain why no problem with nav. About your problem I guess some of tip. You have to find some specialist to do that. Also you can disconnect the battery for 5 min

    I actually have a 2016 Pilot Touring that is giving me a difficult hassle. After having the audio machine turned on for a couple of minutes (regardless of whether or not the auto engine is on or off), I start hearing static noise - faintly at the beginning, then it builds louder and louder until it overcomes something I was taking note of. It happens whether or not I am listing to radio, iPod, Bluetooth, or smartphone. Doesn't depend whether or not I am listening to song, podcast, or audiobook.
