| Can anyone explain to me why my computer speakers have recently begun to pickup up a radio station. It's very very faint. At first I really thought I was 'hearing voices'. When I heard music I thought maybe one of the kid's electronic gizmos was hiding in my office. Finally, last night I held my ear the computer speaker and found it to be the culprit.
What can I do to make it stop...aside from turn off the speakers? It's not noticeable during the day but in the wee hours of the night it drives me crazy. | |

| The only things I can think of are unshielded speaker cables picking up a radio signal, you've get a program running making those noises, or your dosage of thorazine is too low. | |

| Or you need to stop working in the wee hours...it's ONLY January....
Earplugs? I empathize(sp) - I like peace & quiet in the office. | |

| It sounds like some kind of radio interference. Or is it possible you're running some kind of radio program? I listen to the radio via the internet most of the day. | |

| Un plug and replug the speakers. I have my bet that your speakers are REALLY OLD! =) | |

| Too make matters worse, it's classical music. Not that I don't like classical music...but the sound and pitch of the violins seem to pierce the silence of my office sanctuary even at such a low volume almost inaudible volume.
This can't go on throughout the season. I need my "quiet". | |

| My cell phone (as well as clients) interfers with my monitor. It'll squelch (word?) a split second before their phone rings....they think I'm psychic when I ask if they want to take that call.
Are the speakers wireless? And where are you? I ask because I monitor a scanner a lot (husband retired after 27 years with Fire Dept; small community; I like to know where the sirens are going) and periodically we get what's called skip, where transmissions from over a thousand miles away comes in on our frequencies. Maybe the radio ghosts will go away when the weather changes? Good luck. | |
