Interference on external speakers
7 Answers
I have interference on my speakers caused by my neighbours Vodafone internet dongle. His flat is directly below me. Weirdly I also have a '3' dongle which I have close to everything but which causes no interference at all. I have no idea whether the speakers are shielded or not as they are a few years old. Any suggestions?

This is not going to be easy to fix, and I'm not sure, but I think legally, the onus is on your neighbour to solve the problem - for example, by repositioning his equipment.

I once lived in a house where the radio always played in the background of the stereo. We tried to track down which part of the system was picking up the interference and found the speakers could play the radio station with nothing connected to them other than a piece of wire.
There was a very large AM radio transmitter just down the road.
