Buzzing sound from speakers when cell phone is about to ring

 


Bryan_Bezzle
Do any of you receive this? When my cell phone or my house phone is about to ring my speakers emit a buzzing sound. My alarm clock also does it so basically I get a warning before my phone is about to ring. I don't remember this ever happening except for the past year but now it seems normal. Anyone know the cause?

Don't know what to tell ya there. The only time my speakers ever "buzz" is if I have the volume really loud and the cable is bent slightly.

I think I've heard that sound before, but I don't remember. If I did hear it, it was a long time ago cause I no longer hear that buzzing sound. But I do believe I know what you're talking about, yes.

It happens to me while I am in the car and the phone is too close to the radio

I'm not an expert on cell phone strategies, but I thought the speaker-clicking was the phone responding to the tower's seek by transmitting a short burst of high-power signals announcing its availability and negotiating its required transmit power. A second or so later the cell phone actually begins ringing.

These are the radio signals from your mobile phone. It's normal, and this is why some people say this radiation could cause brain damage

It's perfectly natural and it'll happen everytime you keep your phone close to speakers. I'm not yet 100% of the exact cause of this, but if I had to guess, I'd say that it happens because the waves your phone antenna receives cause interference in your speakers.
AftershockVibe
It happens because the power supply to your speakers acts as an aerial, the signal (or more accurately parts of the signal) picked up then propagate through to the cones causing the noise you can hear.

If you have an old CRT monitor and put your mobile on the top, a similar thing will happen as the electromagnetic waves alter the paths of the electrons inside the CRT. You get a kind of fuzzy colour distortions.

it happens to all 4 alarm clocks in my apartment, my pc speakers and all radio's I've ever owned..

However, the phone doesn't always ring when they start buzzing. ^^;

Yeah you're right it doesn't always ring.

it happens a lot to me..when my phone is beside my pc, even my monitor flickers. i guess its interference made by the signal to reach the cellphone. Its normal though for electronic devices to create such noise or interference...

This is bcoz incoming call is only one of the reason when a mobile phone try to increase power to antennae. It may also happen when for eg. it looses its signal & it try to locate another tower.

Yeah I notice it too and I think what everyone is saying is right. Even when I play guitar my amp will start buzzing/clicking/etc.

Now that's such a coincidence! I was about to click Post Reply and my speakers did it. I find that my phone seems to regularly either receive or emit a signal, even when I'm not getting a call or text - which is what just happened.

Mobile phones use microwaves to transmit their signals, I believe. So my guess is that the microwaves interfere with something in the speakers. If I'm right about it being microwaves, perhaps someone who has a microwave could put some speakers next to it while it's on and see if you get the same noise.

I think what AftershockVibe said is right, I've seen the effect on an old CRT monitor as I used to have one. Another interesting thing you can do is call somebody you're with on your mobile phone and then place both phones next to each other, make sure they touch. You'll hear echoes, screeching noises and a whole load of strange sounds.

I think that happens with my tv. Sometimes it is buzzing so I assume someone in the house is getting a phone call.

That buzzing happens to my television and my alarm clock/radio like above even when not getting a call in. I guess the phone periodically checks in the cell tower. Never bothers my car radio though.

Yes it happens to me as well.
Only with my mobile (cell) phone though, and only on my PC?
Bryan_Bezzle
For me it seems to happen very often if not every call I get from my cell phone or sometimes even my house phone although that may be coincidence...but I can't really remember this happening in the past and I've had cell phones for years now. Could it maybe be something that has developed over time or has this really been going on since cell phones were created?
MeddlingMonk
I have this occur here too. Interestingly, though, it only affects certain devices - the CD player, for example, is affected by a Digital GSM mobile (2G, I think), but my computer's surround sound system isn't affected by NextG (3G) or CDMA mobiles (and yet both it and the TV are affected by electrical switches being turned on and off, resulting in a click in the sound system or a blip on the screen).

LOlz This sound produces only because of cell phone rays, When ever u are going to receive your call or when your cellphone began to start ringing all the magnetic machines began to vibrate because of heavy incoming rays from mobile towers to your phone.

No, I first experienced such a thing way back in 2000 on my first cell phone, a Nokia 5110.

well I finally found a group of people I have something in common with!!!

whooooooooo hoooooooooooo!!!!!

ok so my speakers buzz also and if am on the house phone and talking to my husband and his mobile is about to ring we both hear it on the house phone.

Yes It does happen the only difference is that it is not a simple buzzing sound but a rhythmic buzzing sound like pulse buzzing. I guess it must be due to inteference cause by the electromagnetic waves emitted by the mobile phone which gets caught by the speakers. But I always get awe-look when I think how come the small device can get in contact with the towers so far away!!, also there are satellite phones that must be emitting a lot of electromagnetic waves. I feel these elctromagnetic waves muct be harming our bodies as I have heard they can cause cancers, tumours, etc.

Anyway to get into topic again I also would like to mention that when mobile phone is about to ring the computer or Television screen also flickers, but When I turn on the mobile phones buetooth this all does not happen, can any one tell on which technology the bluetooth functions...?

Well, I've certainly faced this ever since I've come in contact with cell phones, so I'd venture to say that this has probably been there for a long long time.

You're right. My CDMA mobiles cause absolutely no interruption whatsoever in any of my speakers. The GSM mobiles in my house, though, cause the buzzing sound in my computer speakers, in my landline wired phone, etc etc. However, the one thing that's never affected, thankfully, is my earphones.

I'm pretty sure that my earphones have magnetic components in them. Then why do they go undisturbed?

Nope, they don't. Earphones work by magic, don't you know? Well, it's almost magic; there are lots of little strings - like in String Theory - and they're invisible. If you could see them they'd look something like the flying spaghetti monster (rightclickscott will know what I'm talking about, or at least I think it's him). Anyway, these strings vibrate all the way up to your earphones and then you can hear the sound. Just to make it clear, they don't go up the wires to your headphones, those are just so you don't lose the ear pieces. They go on a rather long route, usually taking a detour to view the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, people on cruises around the world or just people who aren't anywhere near Paris seem to suffer slight 'lag' because of the time it takes to get to Paris and back.

It's true, I swear.

On a more serious note, I've got cancer.

That's not actually true, however it is relevant. I was wondering whether anyone believed the microwaves gave you cancer. Some people seem terribly scared of it.

EDIT: By the way, this is meant to be a joke. Just so no one sues me or anything.

No, I do not think that microwave could give you cancer. I think microwave at maximum could heat you up. Only ultraviolet waves and higher frequency waves cause cancer because they can penetrate deep into skin but microwaves have frequency even lesser than infrared waves.

Yeah it happens all the time to me when i'm charging my cell phone by my pc and its near to the speakers.. really annoying especially when i'm watching a movie on my computer. Also yeah when i'm driving and I can hear it through the speakers, I wish they could find a silent way to transmit.
salman_500
this is normal as i always keep my cell close to my speaker... gives me a heads up that im about to get a call or an sms ... lol Razz

but it does happen someties that even though the speakers are clicking.... no calls or msgz come.... i feel so bad when this happens ... Crying or Very sad

lol Very Happy Laughing

This is a common issue. Here's why...

Because your phone is probably tri-band it receives WAP info and information like network status messages over the GSM band width. PC speakers (especially speakers) act like big antennas with their long wires hanging. As such when a network transmission (like a pre-location before ring) occurs you will hear the buzz.

Yeah, here too - it's like "buzz - buzzbuzzbuzz - buzzbuzzbuzz" - what's your speaker inteference rhythm?

LOL I think mine goes "buzzzzz - buzz buzz buzz - buzzzz- buzz buzz buzzzzzzzz" the last buzz last until my cell phone rings. If my phone doesnt ring and I get the buzz its usually fainter and ends sooner.

my phone is CDMA and it doesn't do it... when i had as GSM phone it did.. that could be it

it buzzes because the signal the satellite is sending down from space to your phone is being picked up by your speakers, the reason it happens before your phone rings is because it takes a second or two for your phone to realise what the signal means and un-encrypt it and then send a signal back to the satellite which sends a signal to the phone that called you that you have picked up your phone XD
tidruG
But even when you answer your GSM phone and take it close to your speakers, they still buzz.

That sound is normal; I hear it whenever my cell phone is close to the speakers. After some time I think I’ve learned to feel difference between those sounds and I know whether the phone is going to ring or a message is coming. And if a message is a little longer I can hear a small pause between those sounds coming from the speakers so I know what to expect! Sometimes I can hear it very loud and sometimes I can hardly hear it – I don’t know why.
And when I answer the phone the sound from the speakers becomes so load that I have to turn them off or to go somewhere else.
Bryan_Bezzle
Well we've found out that indeed everyone experiences it..now the question is..has this always happened? I can't remember this happening when I had a cell phone back in the day. I had computer speakers too I just dont remember this ever happening. Has it been fairly recent that it has been happening to all of you? Maybe..a year or two? Three at the most.
Thumpercats
I heard the buzzing speakers a lot, but last year I was in a dorm and everyone so often the room next to me would be making or recieving a phonecall and my television would go haywire during the duration of his phone... stupid nextel screwing with my sony tv. Sad
Srs2388
what if your TV caught fire because of it.. that would be so tubular man!!! lol

I've had this issue with my cell phone and my speakers before. I think it's actually kind of cool though b/c it's all happening right there and you cant see it
scotty
I have this happen all the time and its interference with the speakers. Most of the time speakers are unshielded and thus they react when you phone emitts strong signals.
uuuuuu
You know, it's funny that you should mention this happening, because something very similar - at least kind of similar - has been happening to me for about the past year, too.

It seems that, if my cell phone is in my hip pocket, just before it starts ringing my balls will start vibrating and my you-know-what starts to heat up. I mean, to the point of pain, seriously.

And I know this sounds funny, but it's seriously not cool. It doesn't seem to matter what my ringtone is or whether my phone is set to vibrate or whatever.

It only happens when my phone is in my hip pocket, but that is the only place I can carry my phone, most of my shirts don't have pockets, and I'll crush my phone if I put it in my back pocket, when I sit on it.

The most inexplicable thing, and I know you will think I am just making this up if I tell you this, is that it only happens when it's from a person calling who I already have in my address book. If it's just a regular number and I don't have a name programmed for them in my phone, then nothing happens.

So what I'm doing right now is I just erased all my contacts in my phone, and I keep a list of my contacts name and numbers in my pocket so I can look at the number on caller ID and see who is calling, but I'd really rather be able to have contacts on my phone again.

So if you ever figure out what's happening to your speakers, please let me know because it might be related to the problem that I'm having with my balls buzzing.

Thanks, and tell your mom hi for me,

Uwe

its common..

radiation is causing those buzzing sound..
like some ppl said here, using mobile phone for too long could cause brain damage...

i don know if that is true.. if it is, talk less to ur gf at night over the phone.. haha.. a new excuse for those un-deserving guys out there..
