Static while talking?

I'm having some background static during some conversations. The person on the other line heard it too. Almost sounds like White noise. I've searched and some people have commented this can be due to advanced calling on vzn, which I am using and need...

Any other settings I can adjust? Or should I send the phone back? It's really annoying. Unrooted.
