Hear a Mystery Radio in the Background?
No, its Not Galactic Frequencies.
I just heard a caller on CoastToCoastAM with Ian Punnet. (Nov. 23, 2012) who heard a radio in the background and was trying to figure out what it is.
I heard the same thing and was thinking I had a tooth filling, or a piece of metal in the house that picked up the radio station (like a crystal radio).
After years of hearing it, I finally discovered what it was.
My refrigerator!
After a cooling cycle, the freon (?) boils in the cooling coils as they warm making the hissing and buzzing sound exactly as the caller described, making the mystery radio sound.
Now I subconsciously listen for the cycle to occur again 'cause its sooooo coool!
SOLVED!!!!
P.S. This caller also suffered a minor case of tinnitus. I suffer varying degrees of it depending on where I am and what I have turned on. I have almost eliminated mine (which got quite loud at times) by getting rid of the new florescent light bulbs in the house and wrapping aluminum screening around my smart meter., I have a few of these curly-cue bulbs in the house and every time I turn them on I suffer tinnitus for a few hours afterward. A cashier at a local store had to move to a bedroom farthest away from her "Smart Meter" to get some tinnitus relief. I believe the transmitters in the new Smart Meter Compliant devices in our homes are a major source of tinnitus.
Good bye, aluminum foil hat. Hello aluminum foil earmuffs.
