NICAM audio signals are carried separately from mono signals. So if it happens on both signals, it's likely to be a reception issue. If it's only on the stereo signal, it's probably a fault in the NICAM encoder at the headend.
It happens on both, i've tried changing my amplifier to mono mode and stereo mode, but its still the same.

I dont think I can modulate the signal my end, can I?

It's quite damn annoying It's as if they are sending out too much of a loud signal and my cable box cant lower it enough, even if i put the volume down on the box it still crackles :|
