Why is it that when my cel phone is about to ring, or i start to dial, or has any kind fo activity, my computer's speakers (and other people's computer's speakers who I've tested) produce a weird shuffling oscillation sound? It doesn't happen with non-computer speakers, i think.

maybe because the speaker wires are acting as antennas? they do that sometimes, but I dunno what frequency cell stuff goes at and if they'd pick it up or whatever.

Mine does that too. Goddamn I hate having a cell phone and being stuck with a $45 a month bill for another year. Nobody calls me anyway.

Back in junior high school, all the "cool" kids came up with a plan for "Nerd Day". They were all to dress up as "nerds", with high pants, pocket protectors, taped glasses, plaid sports jackets, ect... I went to school that day dressed like those idiots usually dressed.

I noticed that my bass' pickups pick up on something from my CRT monitor and it makes a really nasty buzz when it's too close.

 

[avi]

the pickups vs. monitor thing has to do with magnets. that I know for sure.

 

[FrostGiant]

Yeah. Bass, guitar, computer monitors are really bad for those. Especially if you've got active pickups. My bass is noisy as hell and if I have my monitor on and I'm anywhere in the room it's damn near unusable.

this actually happens with my mini boombox i take to the beach too. the speakers go all fuzzarific.

 

[FrostGiant]

Well, I guess you don't get brain tumors from cell phone from nothin'.

 

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

I get my brain tumors from Boo-Berry. All hail blue #2!

i have this contraption for my car stereo that takes a signal from the cd player and broadcasts it to a radio band signal so you can hear the cd player on a radio station. whenever my cell phone is near it, every time it changes cells it makes a clicking like a rabid squirrel. also, whenever it rings, the radio broadcast thing buzzes annoyingly.

[FuSoYa]

yes, but why?? WHY???

 

[FrostGiant]

EMI or Electro Magnetic Interference. Cell phones, especially digital cause this. That would screw with speakers I would think. And probably you computator speakers before home stereo cuz the magnet on those are smaller and more suseptable to this type of interference.
