Obviously I researched before I commented. I'm not going to call someone out on something I'm not confident on.
The primary source of radio static is artificial (other electronic devices in the environment, as well as heat from the radio itself). The natural component (atmospheric noise) is mostly a result of lightning. The cosmic component is mostly solar activity with a small component coming from the Galactic core, the Cosmic Microwave Background and other extragalactic events (Source 1, Source 2).
While Jupiter does emit some radiation that's useful in radio astronomy, it makes up a negligible component of the environmental noise that the average radio picks up.
>The technical reasons are complicated and you have to try to find explanations you can grasp that are more in depth than I have time to explain.
Translation: You made it up.
You should follow your own advice and use Google before you spread misinformation.

I wish i was creative enough to come up with shit like this! I’ve seen articles and it was years ago. I’m looking but honestly I don’t have the imagination to create something like this
