Static noise coming from headset. The headset has been making this noise for 3 or more days.

Buy a better headset.

A late answer but it could be intererence, has anything changed recently?

The wire on your headset could be loose. Every time you move your wire, you could either talk through it clearly or otherwise it will make a static noise.
The only solutions I have for you are:

1. Buy a new compatible headset
2. Fix the wire (NOTE: It is difficult)

This seems like at cables have gone bad or either the connections in the speakers went bad. Its best to replace them unless you know how to disassemble and re-soder the connections.

Static sounds usually indicate a failing connection. Disconnect and reconnect the plug several times to shine the contacts on the pins.

Uh, that has nothing to do with the headset--it's due to chat in the Xbox controller. No headset is going to be 100% quiet because they are self-powered.

When mine acts up I turn it off, unplug the power in the back, and while holding in the power button up front, I plug it back in. When you ley go of the power button the light will first go green then shut off to red and you can turn it back on to test. It doesn't work for all bugs but it has worked for me in the past for a few glitches. I also have tried uplugging for a few days to get bugs and perhaps static out. A good cleaning with a dvd cleaning disk never hurt, and rubbing the unit down with a anti-static dryer sheet can sometimes alleviate static issues after a rest unplugged.

Try a system reset:
1.  Lift the headset off of the charging cradle, but make sure the headset is turned off.  It will be off if the green light on the front of the base is not lit.  If it's not, push the call answer button once to turn it off.
2.  Push the call answer button and the mute button at the same time and hold them down.  The mute button is the black little wheel at the top of the headset.  Use the tip of your finger to push it straight down and hold it while holding the call answer button.  A green light on the headset will flash for 2 series of flashes.  Wait until the end of the second series then let go of both buttons.
3.  Put the headset back on the charging cradle and wait 30 seconds.  Lift it back up and try to use it.  If this doesn't work, repeat one more time and then disconnect the power from the base and plug it back in.

Normal 0 First, If you have your speakers turned up to high it will give you feedback causing distortion and static. I recommend using a headset when videoing.
Second reason is, if you are using a laptop and have added an external microphone between the two it will cause distortion and static.
Not knowing the configuration of your computer makes it harder to analyze the problem.
So hope this is of some help. Bud

just wondering do you remember the user that you bought it from?
