Re: [CGUYS] Unusual sound on speakers
Are you sure it's not "duh-dum-duh-duh-dum-dum-dum-duh-dum"? On Tue, Jul 29, 2008 at 1:00 PM, Michael S.

Re: [CGUYS] Unusual sound on speakers
Michael S. Altus sez: >"dum-dum-duh-duh-duh-dum-dum-duh-dum" That looks like Morse code. Is it an electronic tone? Are there pauses in it (to determine the exact letters)? Do you live close to a aircraft navigation beacon (usually or some other radio signal tower? My speakers pick up feedback from my cell phone. It goes off occasionally, probably as the phone is checking nearby connections, and goes off wildly when ringing. -- Michael Lewis Off Balance Productions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.offbalance.com * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Unusual sound on speakers
When I have my speakers on, I periodically get a sound, "dum-dum-duh-duh-duh-dum-dum-duh-dum". Does anyone know what that is? At first, I thought it is a time signal at the start of an hour, but I hear it at other times. Thanks, Michael Do you have a cellphone nearby? When my cellphone talks to the mothership periodically, I can hear it in any nearby speaker.

Re: [CGUYS] Unusual sound on speakers
Wachit ...sound card is saying something... Maybe it's "dum-dum-dum-da-da-da-dum-dum-dum" or is it "dum-dum-da-dum, dum-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum" ??

Re: [CGUYS] Unusual sound on speakers
Thank God I was there when I was an adult No one ever did that to me, but then again I do not think getting one over on the Pastor was like that. :-) Oh for the days of fresh milk, cheese curds and the smell of dairy air!!!

Some speaker cabling is shielded so less vulnerable to picking up such... some is not. db Richard P. wrote: When I have my speakers on, I periodically get a sound, "dum-dum-duh-duh-duh-dum-dum-duh-dum".

Re: [CGUYS] Unusual sound on speakers
Seriously now... I once had a sound card with (what I think was) a bad capacitor... it would randomly discharge making a horrible noise like you mentioned... much louder than the music/program that was playing. It would happen once or twice a day, with no real pattern. Upgrading the sound card solved the problem. I also had a Ford with a tape deck that would make a much louder, horrible b-b-bzzz-bzz-bz-bz sound about once a week, which I was unable to make Ford replace under warranty... they just 'repaired' it and put it back in. - Brian - Original Message - From: "Michael S.
