Have you heard the classic GSM "noise" the "datta-datta-datta" buzzing noise that you will get if someone is either receiving a call, sending a call or if a text message is being received or someone is sending it.

~~RJB~~ · 06-18-2008, 7:45 PM

Oh I sure have.

Ddeere2 · 06-18-2008, 9:49 PM

I heard it at work on the phone. I was talking to a customer and thought it was something with them, so I asked them, then I realized it was the GSM "noise". lol, I thought it was funny. They had no idea what I was talking about.

KyleAndMelissa22 · 06-18-2008, 9:50 PM

Yup I've heard it on Melissa's T-Mobile phone when near my computer.
Also just before she gets a call or pic message.

Barciurek · 06-19-2008, 3:54 AM

I've heard that ever since my mom got an old phone in 2002

josephd · 06-19-2008, 5:30 AM

When I using the SLM I never heard the noise the phoen was surprisingly quiet. Whereas on the Nokia 6126 that phone is noiser. I always know when a text message or phone call is coming in.

Mobile Mike · 06-19-2008, 5:55 AM

I guess I'm so used to it, I don't notice it anymore.

Your poll is missing an option: "What's listening to a program?"

If you cannot figure that out well...

bobolito · 06-19-2008, 12:04 PM

I've heard it on CNN live broadcasts from the UN and things like that. I've heard it in live conferences and even during a game show.

R11290 · 06-19-2008, 6:24 PM

Yep I have... when my T-mobile phone is near a radio, etc.

cellular_freak · 06-19-2008, 7:49 PM

I hear it ALL the time with my mom and brother's phones.

Quint101 · 06-19-2008, 8:50 PM

I've heard this noise lots of times myself. For some weird reason, I only hear the buzz in my place when my AT&T phone is near the speaker. I never hear the T-Mobile phone buzz. On occasion, I have heard the buzz while on the phone.

Yeah for sure. But when I hear this the phone is far from the speakers and right next to the unit. So leads me to believe that it was radio interference.

Still applies. Mobile service is radio. It's not KISS FM though
