Narrative:
A buzz-squeal picked up in VHF1 from transmissions from VHF3 covered transmissions from ATC; from approach at 2000 AGL until we were at the gate. My first officer and I could not hear the taxi instructions during rollout from tower and were forced to ask for re-transmit. The buzz-squeal interference was picked up from approach; during runway exit; during taxi; and during parking. This aircraft; seems worse than others in the past; but this is a problem that affects a majority of the fleet. We experienced this problem in den on 133.3; 121.85; and 131.97. Honeywell radios have a long standing problem that needs to be fixed
