Something like "Bzzz". I'm thinking it's either ブーン or ザーザー, but I can't find
any source to really confirm it. Thanks.

question
english-to-japanese onomatopoeia sound-symbolism
What is the Japanese onomatopoeia for radio static?
It will be most commonly ザー or ザーザー.

[This](https://www.gabastyle.com/english/naruhodo/naruhodo28/) explains the
translation of ザー (though it's about TV) as _static_ in English.

> 日本語ではこの音のことをいろいろな言い方をしますが、英語では「雑音」や「静電気」を表わす“static”を使います。電話の雑音も同じ言い方です。
