One end near your ear, and you will be hearing whatever is near the other end of the hose.

Not to lowball, but ine works. That said, having spare ailteroon elevator servos, DG, control head, main processor, etc probably not a bad idea.
$500 for the whole thing, plus shipping?

Thought
Sounds to me perhaps like an intermittent electrical short arching? Look for wires chafing each other or against any metal. Just a thought.
