Who has heard GSM "noise" in a broadcast?

Oh I sure have.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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?"

 

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.

its the cheap speakers making that noise

 

I only get it around the computer.

 

You did include "what's GSM noise"... it's just as easy to figure out

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

Oh excuse me, I meant to say that it effects my radio unit. Not directly my speakers.

 

LOL-
All I am trying to point out here in replying to walkguru is. When I have interference it is more to do with my radio tuner than my speakers. Although the gsm buzzing in the end comes out my speakers there that is all I need to say about my experience. I know what RI and all that jazzy stuff is.

 

i used to hear the noise when i was on the computer, but no computer now and no noise.


but ive heard it over and over that it happens with cheap speakers and unshelded speakers.

 

yes this is the only way its audible.

 

ive heard it plenty of times. but IMO people that complain of hearing it in the cars or near their stereos need to upgrade to better speakers. on regular desk phones such as being on a conference call, is the only time i hear it during my day to day.

 

The GSM RFI more inherently effects the actually reciever than it does the speakers.

 

I think what he means is that it is the amplifier built-in the speakers that picks up the RFI, not the speakers themselves.

 

I just heard it last night
