Does your cell phone cause speaker interference when it rings?
 

My speakers make funny noises seconds before my phone rings..

Why?

and only computer speakers. Not on car speakers or radio, nothing...

my old phone did to my car stereo.

lots of electronic devices interfere with each other, depends on what frequency it's broadcasting whatever it is being used for on

mine does it on most speakers

It affects our stereo and PC speakers

dunno why yours only happens on your PC speakers
but im guessing it has somehting to do with frquency levels

we have a different frequency here in Aus - so thats why it affects more electricals I guess

It's annoying and surprises me every time when I am not expecting it.

I have so many phones on my desk that even when they are not ringing they cause interference with my PC speakers intermittently. :glugglug

yeah me to
we have 15 cell phones in this office
it's liek a minefield

MASS interferance

yeah, it s called EMF electronic magnetic frequency.

kinda like putting a magnet on your tv screen.

cell phones are very bad for electronics.

Same thing for us.....just the computer speakers though. I know 2-3 seconds before it starts to ring :-)

yeah always, but its nextel i am used to it already!

That's your cell phone performing a "hand shake" with the transceivers in your area... making the connection.

The signal is in a frequency that is audible, if picked up by a speaker.

And it just so happens, computer speakers are usually capable to picking up that frequency.

i keep my speakers turned down unless i specifically want to listen to something so i've never had that problem

It happens with some speakers, but I haven't noticed it on my new ones. Maybe I just don't pay attention to it anymore...:)

Thought I was the only one.. It's strange isn't it.

Wires on car stereos are sheilded to stop them from picking up other signals, cheaper speakers devices may not be though...

yes

Yep happens here. It happens in public places to other people, so i think its general.

the speaker makes a couple of wierd low tone blip noises before i get an incoming call or text message

Yeap:glugglug

Mine does. I love it, when people are over I hear the speaker noise and I yell "my phone is going to ring," then it does. Then I tell them that I am psychic. Great fun. :thumbsup

mine does it right before it rings,

welcome to the new world. Also surprised that when you push the gas your car drives?

only the spekers next to my pc

somehow my monitor is involved instead of speakers :helpme

car, pc, stereo you name it

same problem here.

happens on my pc speakers, my home stereo in my bedroom, and in my buddy's car on his stereo system.. wish there was a way to switch frequencies or somethin
