Have You Heard this Strange Sound?

just to let you know, this sound causes havoc in my recording studio, and i swear that i know when my phone is going to ring a few seconds before it does. Usually when im half awake, kinda on a subliminal level. strange but true!

it really pisses me off when i'm near a tv with nothing on (such as in dvd mode or something) because i can hear the electricity going through it from 30 feet away. i think that everyone can hear electronic devices and impulses being sent via your cell phone or other wierd things. its like hearing what radio signals really sound like (because our hearing spectrum is so limited just like our light spectrum it seems like there would be some type of sound the radio waves would emit.) yep i hope it makes sense if it doesnt sorry haha

Dudes... not sure if anyone has already said it but... thats GPRS/EDGE/GSM - it's when you receive a txt message or when someone tries to call you. It's the pnone talking to the GPS - how can this guy think it's that strange ? - it happens all the time.

I just heard this sound yesterday on my tv, this is the first time I recall hearing it, so i thought it was just some static on those particular channels.

Making connections where there are none.

Whitley = -100 to me now. Never really got into it but I bought communion for like 2 bucks.

Biggest load of crappola I've ever heard. She has no idea what shes talking about (the crystal skulls clip).

Wait I hear the sound......

Oh its just my phone.

Phew.

PS:

I'm sure tracking mobile devices isn't 'complicated' at all provided you have enough receivers and a high level of precision. I'm no physicyst, but I'm sure it could be done very easily.

AT&T Cell Phone the New G3 frequencies, including Wireless Internet access through At&T.

Sometimes it does it when I'm Not receiving a call, but its 'pinging' the tower.

Allows me to reach for the phone before it even rings.

SOmething NEW with the G3 Service.

I have at&T motorola razor G3 and At&t U-verse 'fiber optic' TV with At&T wireless internet as well.

Never noticed it with T- Mobile, on a V330.

Hum I'm with AT&T and mine does it everytime. It will do it if it's by a portable radio or by my computer. I personally think it's the radio waves interfering with the "internet" waves. I'm no IT type but it seems like a given.

OK OK now we are getting somewhere. Motorola everyone else? I have then new Moto slider with all the bells and whistles.
Hummmm

I don't know what the sound is, but we get it on the TV's, radios, on my laptop, and the baby monitors. It used to be all the time when the sprint phone was about to ring. Now no one in my house has a Sprint phone. It still happens randomly w/o cause or warning. It sounds like some kind of morse code and it is annoying as hell.

So what is it?

Yes, my computer speakers do it every time I am about to get a cell call.

Yep. I just listened to it and I was like "yeah I know that sound everytime my cell is about to ring I hear it first come through my computer speakers." Nothing mystical or magical here just interference.

When I used to live at my parent's house, my computer speakers would do it all the time. One time it came out of my mom's car speakers. I'm pretty sure I've heard it coming from the tv. One time I heard it from headphones from a cd player. It may be worth to note that I did not live in a heavily populated area, but I was close to a tower for some tv station. Here at my apartment, my computer speakers did it as my friend's cell phone rang. I do remember hearing it from other odd things, but I can't recall anything else specifically. I did always wonder what it was and why I was hearing it

Wow, one post every two minutes for the last half hour... I didn't know people were so motivated by this 'mysterious' sound.

I've been hearing it for years, the explanations are fairly obvious, as mentioned up-thread.

i have nextel as my cell phone company, and this sound comes through when i am about to receive a call.

i have att and my wife keeps her cell phone next to the alarm clock radio and it does the same sound when it is about to ring.

Yup It used to happen to me about 5 seconds before my phone would ring, not from my tv but from my computer...

It was a tracphone, weird... I just assumed the frequency of the phone would be picked up by my computer somehow

This happened around a year and a half ago, my new phone doesn't do it.

Hi everyone,

I have verizon and it makes this sound quite frequently when I am using the verizon wireless internet for our laptop. Never does it with the phones, just the internet.

I've been hearing this sound for the last 10 years, when I started owning a cellphone.

Nothing worth threading ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Yep, hear this all the time, have been for the last couple years.
Usually right before my cell phone rings, but as another poster mentioned, even without receiving a call the sound will come through my computer speakers, TV and my guitar amplifier if it is on.


AT&T is my service provider.

You have a crap recording studio then since you have no shielding worth talking about. Microwaves drop off on the Inverse Square law. it takes A HELL OF A LOT of power to go great distances. Ie., you must carry your mobile next to your microphones to get that kind of interference.



As a side note about microwaves.

I made a crude prototype plasme weapon using a simple waveguide, magnetron (1Kw) and some carbon steel screws (Microwave induced Plasma).

Very easy to do
