Hey, I've got the most annoying problem. If my cell phone is on my desk within a yard of any of my speakers, the speakers will make intermittent noises, sometimes kind of loud and/or in a strange rhythmic pattern.

What causes this? Is there anything I can do, besides throw the damn phone across the room?

Solved, unless the idiots from the apartment upstairs cause it, then you're SOL (like me). I hate cell phones. Only incredibly useful 0.0001% of the time.

Yeah, happens in my car too. Usually 1-3 seconds before my cell starts ringing the speakers start getting interference. It's pretty weird.

Yeah I've had that happen before. It goes 3 clicks, short pause, 3 clicks, short pause, 5 or more clicks

Get quality equipment and you won't hear that crap.

Computer speakers = -1 on 0~10 scale for quality and shielding.

Paul Klipsch is rolling in his grave with the MDF boxes made in China with his name slapped on. Seriously.

Blah, Klipsch is horrible, IMO. Their promedias (computer speakers) I have to say are pretty good for the price, but their loudspeakers for music/audio aren't that great.

Not the real stuff like the Cornwalls, LaScala's, Chorus, and Klipschorn. Then again it all depends on what you're driving it with. Receivers with "power pack" outputs are quite horrid. Digital switching amps are getting quite good but still no match for a real class A beast. I prefer the sound of analog because our ears are analog. Which reminds me digital cell phones SUCK hardcore. It's like listening to a 4kbps real audio player.

My old trinitron monitor used to start flickering right before I got a call. Never screwed with my speakers though.
