What is this new sound?

For the last year or so, I hear this same sound on my computer and TV at random times. I'm trying to figure out what it is. I wonder if one of you guys know. I only have one example of the sound and it's in the middle of this video from about 3:14 to 3:16. I know you guys have heard it too. Listen.....................

Hi Learyfan,
Its from an incoming cell phone call or when a cell phone connects to the internet and you have your other electronics on that are connected to speakers.
Maybe its the sound of waves interfering with each other.

Nope, no military base.

No, it happens when there are no cell phone calls being made. And it has nothing to do with speakers because I've had the same set up for years and this sound is new.

Do you notice how it also affects the visual footage on the video you posted, when recording on a camcorder I have had this happen when calls come in or things like text messages are being received.
If some one has a better answer I would like to hear it.

As others have said.
Cell phone. Anytime mine is near the computer or a live speaker I hear that same thing when a call, or basically a transmission from the cell phone happens.
I wonder if it happens if you are next to a cell tower, higher power and all... maybe?

EDIT: I didn't hear the first part of it the first time.
Definitely a cell phone.

Doesn't necessarily have to be yours.... But it does mean it's close by usually.

At 3:06 you can see the cell phone in the camera and it starts the noise. From there it just gets worse. Probably proximity or it is recoding or something causing a lot more interference.

I worked in a call center and they banned cell phones because of this. If you sent/received a text message or accessed the internet on your phone it would put that same noise into your phone call with the customer.

Yea, my old guitar player used to put his phone on his amp. So every once in a while that sound would blast thru his amp then the PA system. We fixed that shit real quick.

Well, I guess it's a cell phone from a house nearby or something. But it does happen when I'm just watching a DVD too. Weird.

interference isn't uncommon. If you're hearing it in your speakers, try shielding the wires and the source of the audio (cd player, etc).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference
A not so uncommon source is from radio transmitters for police,fire,etc use. Do you know if you live near a dispatch tower? Any close neighbors who like doing electrical projects? I nearly made a plasma arc speaker until I realized the amount of EMI it puts out is HUGE. Like piss off the neighbors huge

also, if you want to do a ghetto shielding on your cables, take a 28awg or so unshielded copper and run it coiled around the outside of your cable. Theoretically it'll pick up the majority of the interference before it makes it to the inside of the cable which is where you'll hear it

I can see this thread is attaining a high level of discourse on a number of sensitive political topics.

I guess you could be right. I have no idea what the neighbors are doing. But I'm not worried about blocking anything. It happens rarely. But it's always the same sound, so it makes me wonder. And I swear I hadn't ever heard it before a year or so ago.

could be a capacitor that went bad in something that only intermittently acts up causing an arc and releasing EMI, could be a gajillion different things. As long as it's not annoying and it's not strong enough to damage anything, who cares
