Why is it when I get a call on my cell phone that my amp speakers suddenly make a wierd noise?  I've also heard it happen to my TV, and sometimes my speakers make the noise when I use my cell phone (text messaging); but it's mainly when I receive/send calls that it constantly makes the noise. zzzzzz

It's electromagnetic interference, usually it's with GSM phones. The fields generated by the phone induces a current in wires.

I heard some TDMA phones do it too, but I can't confirm.

It works as a great early-warning system for when you're getting a call, though!

i think it also might be bad for your tv and speakers.
cause if i remember correctly, somewhere i heard that it can damage the screen of ur tv, like ya  know how sometimes theres a greenish darkish shadow things growing on the side of the screen, i think it might cause that.. either that or a magnetic something, i forget

Yeah magnetic fields in general are very bad for your TV.

I guess it explains why my amp speakers are so broken and work so sporatically.

[Trance]

As far as I know it's not going to destroy your speakers.

Hehe, when I walk past my radio on the way out of my bedroom it goes all static. Maybe I spend too much time in front of the computer monitor.
