I saw '지지직' in a movie subtitle, and inferred its meaning as something like a 'crackle'.

However, another example I found online was

지지직거리나요? Do you hear that?

And other examples suggest it could mean 'noise' in general, whilst a youtube hit of a sound effect I found seemed to be more a 'hiss' than a crackle.

What is the range of translations of '지지직'?

"지지직" means white noise like this (It's too noisy, so you should turn down the volume).

You can use "지지직" for this kind of noise.
