Weird Noise Passanger Seat

Hello,

I recently started having a weird noise in the back (top right) of the passanger seat. It sounds like the speaker is broken (parasitic interference) whenever I’m driving, as well, if I close the radio the sound is still there, I tried checking the seat belt / passanger seat for rattles but they are OK.

Does anybody have any idea where this could come from?
Is it from the speaker? (tough if I turn off the radio the sound is still there)

Thanks in advance,
Robert

Is it constant or only occasional?

In some days it is there, in some days it isn't - occasional

I get something like that if the seat is far enough back to touch the rear of the cabin and make the sound when the leather rubs on the plastic. Move the seat forward just a tiny bit so it isn't touching anymore and it goes away.

Moved the seat all the way to the front, no change, I think I’ll just open up the speaker from the passanger side and check it out, i’ll come back with an update

I agree too.
Have the same issue one mine just move the seat up so it clears the back of the seat and the trim behind the top part of the seat

Update: It was not coming from the seat, the speaker behind the passanger seat was broken. Ordered a new one.
