I recently got a 2nd hand tv from my brother and it occasionally makes a crakling sound. I've change to every channel and to my Xbox and it still makes the sound. I thought it could be a loose wire but it makes the sound through both speakers so I don't think it will be that. Please help it really bugs me.
