Headset Static

Hello everyone

I am doing some hours in the C152 whilst I suffer through this pandemic and I am having a problem with my headset.

Just landed from a 3 hour flight and every 30-60 seconds, I can hear a static sound on my headset.

I am using Foreflight on my phone which is switched to flight mode and bluetooth off.

So I turned off my phone.
Still static coming on and off.
I unplugged and plugged back in my headset.
Turned off the Garmin.
Turned off the radio.
Turned off the transponder.

Still static every 30-60 seconds.
This C152 has a Sport 200 intercom.

I turn down the squelch and vol. Still static.
I turn off the intercom.
Boom! Static gone but I can't speak now.

Guys what is the cause of this static?
I've narrowed it down to the intercom system but it must be something I've missed?
