What is a word for raido noises?

Hello,

I would like to word describing the sound of radio noises, something like "Jijijic" maybe?

Also, where can I found words describing various sounds? Probably not in the dictionary :-)

Thanks in advance.

What a great answer and a great site! Exactly what I want.

You can referr to the "hissing" of the static on the radio, if you think you need to.
