Do you think your heater's coil is a dynamic coil thereby picking up stuff like that?
It's possible, but I have no way of knowing without opening it up, and I'd rather not do that while it still works. *grin* It's one of those round heaters, about 8-10 inches tall, and heat comes out near the top 360 degree coverage, so you can be standing behind it, and still get heat from it. It's quite useful, though better suited for a center table than a shelf against the wall where I have it, but still, it works well. This music thing is interesting, and I figure the fan motor's magnet is acting as a receiver or something similar, so it's not surprising, just odd, as I'd normally not expect a heater to have the required parts to act as a receiver, but I'm only partially versed in radio frequency knowledge, so although it makes sense to me, someone with a lot more know how would need to explain why it works, I just don't have the frame of reference to put it in understandable terms. Or, for all I know, maybe the heater is acting as nothing more than an amplifier, and the radio two shelves down is the actual culpret, and the heater is just ramping up the output of the radio, even though it's off. When we lived in Alabama, we had some wiring issues, and the radio alarm clock my son had in his room used to broadcast it's channel through the house wiring. I could hear his radio (even though it was off) when I was laying in my bed, especially if I leaned over the side and got closer to the outlet. It was very disconcerting to wake up in the middle of the night, and hear music until I figured out what was causing it. Eventually, that socket burned out, and took the radio with it, and we never did replace it, (neither the plug or the radio) so I honestly don't know which one was the actual cause of the problem.
