And that can be very interesting... a while back I read some stories on how
the NSA, police, etc could find out where an audio recording was made by
correlating AC hum in the recording with logs that they had of the power grids.
Apparently logging AC mains is rather popular among the spooky / law
enforcement types around the world (Britain appears to be rather fond of it).
I did an experiment where I logged the AC mains at a few places around town
along with some audio recordings made in the same areas. I used some simple
correlation software and could easily determine where and when the recordings
were made.

electrical load is added or dropped from the power line.
