Question Slight misfire + radio interference

Hi.

I am having a slight misfire when coming on boost, check my plugs and coil packs and these seem ok.

But I have noticed that I get interference on the radio/cd in the form of a clicking / ticking sound whilst the misfire occurs.

Could this be a shorting to earth on one of my coils packs or something else?

Thanks

Quick update -

I have noticed today that is tends to be full throttle + boost over 0.5bar and also when i pull away from a standstill.

Could it be an earthing problem?

Sounds like a coil pack to me mate, I would try and get a good one and swap it around to eliminate them.
