I got my iPhone a few weeks ago, but it seems like something is wrong with my iPod. All the music I play thru it, whether with the iPhone haedphones, my Bose headphones, or thru my car adapter is crackly. I adjust or even turn off the equalizer. Thru the iPhone speakers I can't have it above 3 or 4 sound things before it sounds terrible. Anyone else have this problem?
 
What type of music do you listen?
What is the source of your music?
Nowdays many new CDs, even remastered ones have a crappy Audio quality.
There was a very good article about it in RollingStone magazine best of 2007 issue.

I either rip my CDs or buy from iTunes. It sounds fine from my computer or my old nano
 
Try restarting your iphone (pressing and holding power + home button I believe)

Shut off volume limit and EQ. (you did I believe)

If still noisy - for giggles - go into "airplane" mode - to shut off the bluetooth / wifi and cell radio.

If still noisy - check your headphone jack itself for any buildup / dirt and what not. (do NOT use any liquid to clean it out - there is a moisture sensor at the bottom of your connector)

If still noisy - it should be under Warranty. No?
