The electrical system through out the car is being heard in the speakers. If the seats, window, etc., etc. Are touched you can hear them through the back end with a loud roaring noise. It is so loud that you can not keep the radio on. It only reacts when it is extremely hot, extremely cold or after the car has been washed or it rains. We have taken this to the dealer where the amp, radio, cd player and speakers have all been replaced 3 times. They have even eliminated water leak which only leaves wiring issues in which they refuse to replace. Our fear is that it could cause fire. We have arbitrated and contacted corporate and they refuse to do anything about it. We even took this to another Ford dealer in which they told us after showing them all the work orders that they will not get involved since it is a pre-existing issue that another dealer has tried to resolve many, many times. Just be cautious and place your vehicle inside away from these conditions so it doesn't act up and cause more issues.
