What's that noise? It's everywhere

[EddieRay]

You must have heard it. It goes "dit da-dah dit da-dah dit da-dah ... "

I hear at least once a week now. On conference calls at work, from the Sony Walkman in my car, from the guitar amps in the band. Is it only following me around or do you hear it too?

If you mean what I think you mean... It's radio disturbance in the amps.
Like when you're playing guitar and someone sends you a text message, you know your phone's about to go off before it happens because that noise comes through the amp from the radio signal. There can be a bunch of other causes as well - and it doesn't just affect audio. Ever been watching TV and the screen kind of wobbles? That's the same thing...
