In my left speaker i can here a local radio station comming in on it.

The first time i heard it, i just dismissed it as the radio from the neighbors (i live in an apt), but i heard it a few hrs later. Then I thought it mey be comming from somebody else outside. But no one was there. Finally I discoverd it was my left speaker connectd to my computer. I can even hear it when I shut off the computer.

Imagin turning your TV on in the other room the covering your ears with your hands. That's about what it sounds like.
 
If it were caused by a shielding porblem then I would be hearding it out of my sub as well. There sitting right next to each other.
 
Well a wire can be a perfectly good antenna....and I suppose if the wire is totally unshielded...seems a bit fishy to me...but I guess it's possible...but can a speaker by itself act as a radio reciever?

What kind of speakers do you have?
 
at my unlces house, on one of his phones u can somtimes here a mexican radio station, its funny. I think its some kinda interferance. I heard this story of a guy who got dental work done and it picked up a freqency of a radio station and he could here it all the time
 
It's pretty funny to here. I can't make it any louder or anything.
I haven't gotten close enough to really listen to see what station it is. But it's funny nontheless.
 
The length of your speaker cable is the multiple of a frequency used by a local radio station. Nothing magic here. Probably there's a slight difference in the lengths of the speaker wires. Also, position is important in the room, relative to radio waves and interference.

Sadly, you can't do much against it, except shielding your speakers and cords. A more radical thing would be cutting a bit of the speaker cable.

Had the same thing happening to me two years ago, I was picking a mish-mash of things, including Canadian stations, although I was about 700 in a straight line south from the Canadian border. I eventually replaced the speakers, it was driving me nuts.
