I complete second Dougdeacon's response. What you are hearing has 99% likely nothing to do with static. As Doug state with static you would hear a very loud pop only every few revolutions.
What you DO hear is dirt in the grooves or possibly even groove damage.
There is an old misconception that crackle on pop on records is called static which is a completely incorrect usage of the term for vinyl (unlike static on the radio).
