i just had a person in my shop with a ford who had a similiar issue. it turned out that ios6 on the new iphone was causing the problem. it worked just fine with 3 other phones, 2 of which were iphones on ios 5. it was like trying to talk to someone while taking off in an airplane is the only way i can describe it

Very common. I have that issue in both Raptors and my F350. Not a whole lot you can do about it outside of wearing a noise canceling headset.

im wondering if you pull the mic out and try a foam cover on it. i know this will help cutting down wind noise. also the mic might be picking up interference from other electrical devices onboard. do you notice any difference in noise between low rpm and high rpm?
