Default Turn on lights and get a static sound

This is my wife's car and the other day I was driving it and turned on the headlights and I heard a constant static sound (sort of like Flourescent bulbs, when they are on their last leg) while I kept the lights on. I seems like it was coming from inside the console

Has anyone had any similar issue?

I have the basic 2010 Journey(4 cyl) Anyone have any ideas, any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't take it to the dealer yet.

Thx,
Paul

paul2k10-journey,

I'm sorry to learn of the recent noise heard when the headlights are on.

I haven't come across any similar cases in my research, is this sound heard when the high beams are activated as well?

Thanks for the quick reply, I haven't tested it with the high beams, just wehn I turn on the driving lights or the low beams. I'll test it tonight and relay the info on the board.

Hey Guys,
Went into her car yesterday and tried to repeat the problem and it didn't happen, was following up on the "high beams" question.
Today I'm going to follow up on the radio question, was speaking with my son and he said that he get's that when the "aux cable" is attached to the phone/radio.
I'll let everyone know the result.
Thank you all for the input!
