Disconnect the antenna loop and turn up the volume. If the static is still heard when no stations are being received, then most likely it is being internally generated.

If you only hear the interference when the antenna is connected then it probably is from an external source. As PuhPow mentioned try taking it outside as far from the house or other wiring as possible and see if it is reduced.

A bad resistor or cap can make static noises, but the noise will be present also with the antenna disconnected and no signal being received.
