i have a DELL that the kids use and it's turned off at the moment. i heard some static coming from the cheap Logitech speakers. as i went closer i could make out words coming from the speaker. i put it to my ear and i hear a guy with an accent (probably Nigerian) speaking in English and preaching the words of God. I kid you not. freaked me out. i assume the speaker is picking up some radio frequency? but why this specific channel? anyone else experience anything like this??

My Internet is out at home, I may need to stay at work late to see how this one turns out.

Years ago I had a speaker phone that would pick up radio, and broadcast it through the speaker. Weirded me out. I ended up taking it apart and clipping the speaker wires.

The length of the wire can determine the frequency, I think it has to do something with half wavelength of the wire. More likely, you're nuts.

Happens to my speakers too. It would pick up voices, music, etc. randomly. I always assumed it was merely picking up interference or something.

What do the voices from your dental fillings say? Do they agree with your speakers?

I had a pair of speakers that did this. They were actually new. It would pick up one of the local FM radio stations. I could tune it by moving the wires around and coiling them a certain way. Weirdest thing ever.

I have a set of 900 Mhz wireless speakers. I pick up peoples' phone calls on them all the time. The first time it happened, I listened to my neighbor refinancing his house...I told him the next day he should handle financial calls on a wired phone.

He got pissed that I listened in...even though it was him who was broadcasting.

They're in a box in the storage locker for now.

I think you might have an infestation of manlettes. Did you search the room carefully? They tend to remain below the level of notice.

Most likely it is just an auditory hallucination due to your brain going schizo :p

Pretty soon you will start hearing 'the cops' on your speakers and claim here you are under surveillance.

But they aren't really the cops, are they?

I had a pair of Ebay wireless headphones/radio that picked up a cell phone - now that I think about it must have been a cordless phone - conversation between two women who lived in my neighborhood once. It popped up while I was scrolling through the radio band. I stayed for a minute or two but it was coupons and bingo crap. Besides, there has to be an FCC violation in there somewhere.

It's Gengis Khan from the 6th dimension. He wants to hang out and shoot hoops with you.

This one time at band camp, well it wasn't really band camp. I walk into my room and hear voices. They sounded like they were coming from the computer speaker. My computer tower sits on the floor.

Since I'm 100% positive I'm not schizo, I decide someone is playing games with me and close in on the source to investigate.

I found my flip style phone on the floor under the chair and someone is saying "Hello? hello? Are you there?" And I think....oh FFS. The flip phone was sitting on a glass desk and was set to vibrate. It must have just rang before I came in the room and slid off the desk, hit the floor, flipped open and no one was around to answer it so the caller, who knew me very well didn't hang up but just kept trying to get me to answer.

I got to it just in time and told her what happened. She said "YEAH RIGHT!" But I think she was just messin with me feigning disbelief.

This has nothing to do with your situation, you're just losing touch with reality. Just thought I'd share.

Sure, lots of people will come in and regail their stories of antennas, crystal set radios, EM waves, 1/4 wave, 1/2 wave full wave nonsense. These are all myths that a govt. agent tells all EEs to tell the general public just before they graduate. All the electrical engineers and even some of the hobbyists are in on this. The ones that are not in on it just believe all the myths that's all. You won't see mythbusters or snopes make any mention of this conspiracy either. Of course, they are in on it.

Let us know if someone leaves dynamite and a mouse connected to your doorbell in your attic, then it will really get interesting. Otherwise, you're just another noob that doesn't know how f___ EM works.
