Kent,
 
Several months ago, my wife thought our TV was having audio troubles after repeated audio (code-like) tones were being amplified and emitted by the speaker. This happed quite frequently and gave reason to suspect TV troubles.

Soon thereafter, while talking on the telephone, identical ‘code’ – same tone and rhythm was frequently heard through the handset. At that point, it was thought to be something in or near our house that was getting into the audio stages of electronic equipment.

Days, perhaps weeks later, while driving on the other side of town, listening to AM radio, the same, mysterious ‘code’ was emitted from the car speaker. A chill went down my spine as I realized this damn thing was everywhere!

Weeks later, while attending a wedding at a remote country club in the foothills near Denver, outside in the cool evening air, on a deck overlooking the Rocky Mountains, the code again took charge, dwarfing the spoken words of the wedding ceremony, given over the PA system.
Tonight, at home, talking to mom on the phone, the code reappeared three times within a couple of minutes. After a short pause, a fourth series then appeared. The fourth set broke the normal pattern of seven pulses (Dut, Dut-Dut-Dut, Dut-Dut-Dut). The pulses continued – possibly three normal pulse-sets that all ran together.

This is getting too strange. The interference is heard almost daily from multiple sources at multiple locations! My mother also heard the ‘code’ through her telephone. This sound can easily be heard by anyone whose brain does not ignore it as static.

Any other reports of similar strange phenomena? Seems like it must be rather powerful as well as FCC allowable. Perhaps HAARP like?

 

Many thanks for doing what you do,

My wife and I began hearing these bleeps frequently soon after installing a time-warner cablereceiver/dvr..We figured maybe cell phone signals or something.Then while traveling across the Mississippi into Memphis,we heard the exact same sequence over the car radio.I notice this happenned as we passed under one of those electronic sensors that you see at truck weigh stations,used to scan/identify certain vehicles.While this may not be the case,consider this scenario:Look at the back of every electronic device you can buy today.It will say:"FCC regulation so and so requires that this device not cause unwanted interference in any other device,but must be able to receive unwanted interference that may cause undesired operation of this device".?????Undesired by whom?I can't resist the opportunity for a pun here: " U N desired " So it is possible,possibly to turn these devices on or off with the proper signal,or prompt a response of some sort from it.So then every device like this is its own giant RFID tag.Or any vvariety of tracking,monitoring or locating device. I present this not as paranoia or some thing that tin foil might block out,but something so easy to configure,why wouldn't they? Just anoyher reason that I prefer all that vintage and low tech stuff.And it looks cool,too.

I've noticed the same tones. the EXACT same. And at first I too thought something was wrong with the set. My husband doesn’t notice them, while he sits and stares as if in a trance watching tv. In fact he thinks I'm silly for even suggesting anything like that would be emitting from it. But I know better.

Cell-phone chatter: Happens all the time- Someone nearby carrying a phone- Its the simply device "pinging" the towers...(not that that is all well and good.)

kent -

a few years ago, when i was in charge of my high school's auditorium, our PA system would have the same problem; the "Dut, Dut-Dut-Dut, Dut-Dut-Dut" sound being emitted through the speakers.

the head producer of a local Detroit new station, who helped with the lighting in the school auditorium, told me that the "code-like" tones were caused by cell phones.

i believed his explanation and this may actually be the source of the mysterious "code."

that being said, i have noticed that this explanation is not be able to account for all the times the "code" was heard. there have been occasions when i've heard the code come through with no cell phones present.

thanks for all you do kent!

Is it possible there's a ham working an illegal (too powerful or with broad spectrum noise or both) transmitter nearby using Morse code?
