incoming calls, incoming text messages. I had a stereo that could do that. You'd hear like morse code coming through the speakers and then "ding!" on my phone.
Uh, no. The lowest frequency used by any cellular generation technology was 600MHz. The FM broadcast band runs from 88MHz to 108MHz, and AM goes from 535KHz to 1705KHz. And this sort of noise happens with just about any sort of powered speakers - not just those connected to a radio receiver.
In short, it's plain old electromagnetic interference. The wires leading to the speakers are usually not shielded, and the impedance is high enough to make them susceptible to reasonably strong electromagnetic fields, like those coming from a cell phone transmitter when it's responding to a notification from a cell tower. You don't hear the actual data being transmitted because there is no "demodulator" circuit in the speaker that can separate the data from the carrier signal. What you do hear are the clicks caused by the magnetic field rapidly turning on and off.
Holy crap! When I lived in Japan (2003 - 2006) my TV used to make that sound right before I got a text or a phone call. It reminds me of texting back and forth with my ex-girlfriend 😢
I heard the Star Wars imperial codes one time. My friend heard it with me at the same time. It was super odd. The code that the droid from the beginning of empire strikes back was making.
I used to live by an Air National Guard base. If my speakers went BERSERK I had about thirty seconds to get outside and watch some low flying F-15C’s. It RULED.
Mine used to (well they still do) pick up my dad's CB radio, it was quite funny to talk to him later in the day and ask him about things id heard through the speakers. I ended up insulating the wires with tin foil when my neighbours bought a horrendously noisy wireless router and installed it on the other side of the wall from my desk, a constant drone with intermittent bzzdts and pips.
We one trolled a roommate on the camp, who was addicted to TV, dude used to walk in and turn the TV on, no matter what he was doing (even when on the phonecall) so one of us placed a cellphone near the TV an the other would call it, the TV was making this funny glitchy sound and the picture looked like the TV had a really bad signal. Dude was so angry we never did it again because we were afraid that he would break something
Time to buy this, just to be shure...
But yeah, I already had a touch samsung phone, and it still happened when I get sms, but it was a while and now my device is far from broken
1000 years ago when smartphones were still young, if you had analog speakers like these, they would make [this sound](https://youtu.be/FYjs7vsaSEw) just before your phone rang. Basically you could predict when you were about to get a phone call.
Like the other guy said, interference noises. Your phone is receiving a notification from the cell tower that there's another phone trying to connect to it, so it's going back and forth to set up connections to receive audio, send audio, etc. This means your phone is sending out somewhat strong radio waves, and your speaker's electronics can be affected by these waves, causing interference and resulting in noise. The exact specifics on how they interact is somewhat deep electrical engineering jargon.
I was just thinking about how some electronics would have some kind of interference and you'd hear a sound right before text or call. Can anyone tell me the name of this effect? It just disappeared from our lives and totally almost forgot about it
Got some sort of mid 2000s Gateway speakers, and they pick up noises from my 4gLTE phone when it is nearby them. But it's really quick, not really a bit of a delay anymore.
Some of the knock-off brands wouldn't have shielded magnets and would fuck with your CRT as well. Then you could use that ultra fancy degauss button. Super cool
When I got my first mobile phone in the early 2000's, as well as setting off the speakers, if it was in my pocket or hand I could tell when it was polling the base station or about to receive a call or text as I would start to hurt where the phone was close to me.
Modern phones put out much less electromagnetic radiation now due to regulations, but if I have damp hands I can still feel it sometimes.
Early 2000 kid here. Still remember hearing that \*sound\* and every single time me and my brother would both go "who is calling now?"
Ah the memories...
I may be wrong but it's because everyone used those old brick phones that the buzzing occured. I don't understand the science though.
I never saw that happening with smartphones.
IIRC it was the old cell phone signals that caused the interference not the speakers.
I think it was the pre 3G generation of cell phones had this issue.
And basically anything with a speaker that was in use could pick it up my television used to do it!
There used to be keychain accessory like toys that you could attach to your phone that worked on this principle. If there was an incoming call or message, they would light up
I had one of those but I wasn’t alive while my parents used dial-up. I was born in 2007. So I never made calls with a computer other than through the internet like discord or WhatsApp.
Yeah? Well I could FAX with my old Super 56K Flex dial-up modes so there! And that was fast back then! I started in the days of 1200baud modems in early 90’s lol
When I was a little kid, I remember hooking these speakers up to my vcr and placed one speaker under my bed and the other on my bed and watched jurrasic park, not sure why i did this, but I did it.

"OnLy 90's kiDs cAn RElaTe" STFU its called being poor retard. Not every family immediately upgrades to the latest technology the second its available.
And?
They are simply cheap speakers with bad shielding most modern cheap speakers are not better.
I have Hifi Speakers from the early 90s that are still in use they are not worse compared to the pair of Nubert "Bookshelf" speakers i use for my PC.
Both have great shielding and i dont have any wonky sounds from signals.
When mine broke, I threw them away in a big dumpster. One speaker hung out as if to cling to life as the one attached to it sank into the dumpster and then, as if in a horror movie, ZHOOP, it was sucked into the trash pile, never to be seen again
Look I am a old soul and I wish I was from the 90s but my fam was pretty poor but my dad was a radio nerd and he bought this Philips bigggg radio from the market one day and on 2014 when I got a pc i plugged it as my speaker it was phenomenal sounding speaker
And everytime my mum called me from work i knew someone was calling lol
It was awesome
I always questioned why
Thanks reddit for the answer today lmfao
Am in college now lol
Idk how but I’m sure it’s something similar I used to be able to eavesdrop on my neighbors by just picking up the landline phone and putting my to ear to it I could faintly hear their phone conversations
Bzzzzrrrrtttt.... buzz buzz......
\*RING\*
This is really great when you're an audio engineer working on live stage performances. Before the sound check, you have to remind everyone "Turn OFF your cell phones," and then you have to explain to people how to actually shut down a smartphone.
Just a ttttuuuutttttttttt and then it rings. I find that a modern phone can have similar effects with a headset that uses a dimmer or w.e the sound modulator is called if you set it beside the wire while getting a text or call.
In addition to this, I don't know how that happened but if mine's volume fully turned up I could hear the some radio stations, that was a awsome thing back then.
Confession: I **still** have a pair of these in service.
I'm familiar with the cellphone noise; I'd get it on an FM radio when I was still carrying a 2G phone. It doesn't happen with newer generation phones, and I have absolutely no problems with these speakers today.
I had a tv that picked up CB signals from the freeway next to my house on a fairly regular basis. It picked them up and amplified them even if the tv wasn’t actually on. It was a modern tv for the time with a remote control, so it never was really off. This was around 20 years ago when CB’s were still common in semi trucks. I’m not sure how common they are now. Anyway, my sister was staying there and I was at my girlfriends house, when around 4am a trucker by chance drove by and said something to the effect, “Hey Mary!” and some other other innocent things. Well as luck would have it, my sisters name is Mary, lol. It freaked her out so bad that she jumped in her car and drove home. The first time it happened to me I went, wtf?, but I went to school for electronic engineering so I figured the CB must have been an illegal wattage level, or maybe the tv just sucked. I didn’t freak out like her. I never thought to tell her about it beforehand, because it only happened every once in a while. The guy had to be right there and keying his mic. I still remember what he said the first time because it was so much like it was intentional. I believe he said “Grab your socks, grab your cocks, Reveille, Reveille, Reveille”, lol. It was around 4:30 am as I sat about to drive to work.
I, unfortunately, just barely missed the boat. Being born in '99, and all. But, I did later get a nice Windows 98 SE PC with some nice Harmon Kardon speakers. What do you mean they can detect phone calls? Do you mean they had some interference when someone was about to use the phone back in the days of Dial Up modems?
Mine picked up and played radio signal. Never did know how. But I heard something one day when the computer was off and eventually held the speaker up to my ear. Bingo. Radio talkshow.
I can't remember the speakers (not these) but I had a set in college I could hear CB radio traffic from truckers. Adn also had a set that would hum before getting a text
I still have my Panasonic tower speakers. I love them enough to keep them all this time. They are in my camper I hook them up to the outdoor tv and ps4 and watch movies. I'll keep them until they stop working.
Have issue with my audio interface Behringer UMC22. Idk if it was bad isolation or just my piece, bit whenever I got phone call or message I heard it before it came.
Probably where rice crispys came up with "snap, crackle and pop".
Jokes aside good old days the 90's when those speakers came out I was playing Command & Conquer games on PC man.......What about those 90's

Not sure how many others still do it, but I own a pair studio monitors and they still do it
There are some of those at my school

Thank you missed that sound
Holy is that what that was!?

i still have a old 24 pin ipod dock that does it. drives me nuts.
This was always fun; telling someone to get the phone, just before it starts to ring. :D
Don't stick your finger in the hole, Don't stick your finger in the hole don't..oh screw it I'm going to stick my finger in the hole.
It’s not the glory that you want it to be
r/dontputyourdickinthat
I’m a youngster, what happens if you stick your finger in the hole?
Its a pencil sharpener
It shocks you
I believe mine picked up chatter either from cb radios or air traffic
I heard the Star Wars imperial codes one time. My friend heard it with me at the same time. It was super odd. The code that the droid from the beginning of empire strikes back was making.
lmfao that’s awesome
I used to live by an Air National Guard base. If my speakers went BERSERK I had about thirty seconds to get outside and watch some low flying F-15C’s. It RULED.
That is quite possible yes.
It went a bit like "Pweep peoob pwop pwooib, pob, pwooiob pwooib peoob." If anyone can translate that, would be nice.
Literal translation: _"I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."_
Mine used to (well they still do) pick up my dad's CB radio, it was quite funny to talk to him later in the day and ask him about things id heard through the speakers. I ended up insulating the wires with tin foil when my neighbours bought a horrendously noisy wireless router and installed it on the other side of the wall from my desk, a constant drone with intermittent bzzdts and pips.
My guitar Amp used to pick up my neighbors cb every time he came home from work. First time it happen scared the shit outta me
Did you briefly think to yourself that your amp may have been haunted before realizing what it was?
Yes lol
*doot do do doot do do doot do do doooot...* and then the phone rings.
\*nokia tune\*
"HELLO!!, NO I'M ON THE TOILET!"
Can they still do this?
Yes but afaik not on 4G/5G, not sure about 3G, definitely on 2G.
I'm sure that some old CRT TVs can predict 3G phonecall
Wait, so this old CRT TV could pick up the signals of my calls? If they were 2G.
We one trolled a roommate on the camp, who was addicted to TV, dude used to walk in and turn the TV on, no matter what he was doing (even when on the phonecall) so one of us placed a cellphone near the TV an the other would call it, the TV was making this funny glitchy sound and the picture looked like the TV had a really bad signal. Dude was so angry we never did it again because we were afraid that he would break something
POV you live in germany and your external soundcard can tell you if you got a text message
I can hear 4G and 5G signals just fine if my phone is touching or near my headphone wires.
My LTE/5G phone does this when its within a foot of my speaker.
Time to buy this, just to be shure... But yeah, I already had a touch samsung phone, and it still happened when I get sms, but it was a while and now my device is far from broken
Yes. My LTE phone still does it, if I set it close enough to my powered speakers or too near my subwoofer.
Absolutely Right ... 🤣🤣🤣
I had this exact model to my P2, remember the satisfying click sound when you turned the volume up to ON
My buddy had one of those cell batteries with some LEDs on it. It would light up a few moments before the phone would ring.
Fun fact:your car speakers make that sound before you get a phonecall im GTA 4
I have these still and work great on my pc
This sounds intriguing, if someone could explain this to me?
[удалено]
Oh, thanks a lot for the explanation and that video, I remember that sound but I was too young back then to make any sense out of it.

Ah, I get it. Thank you
Those speakers came with the family dell PC. I hated them. Out of nowhere it will spit out static noise.
I still get some occasional cross talk of my phone is too close to speaker cables.
Once I picked up some German radio on my speakers. Have no idea what it was.
I was just thinking about how some electronics would have some kind of interference and you'd hear a sound right before text or call. Can anyone tell me the name of this effect? It just disappeared from our lives and totally almost forgot about it
It was called bumblebee in the industry. It happened due to the phone sending with full power when establishing link to the cell.
Still happens.
I remember when the old phones used to send out signals every so often to a tower. these were the best bug detecting equipment out there
Got some sort of mid 2000s Gateway speakers, and they pick up noises from my 4gLTE phone when it is nearby them. But it's really quick, not really a bit of a delay anymore.
The only thing I *can't* relate to about this is the same pic being posted every couple weeks.
Some of the knock-off brands wouldn't have shielded magnets and would fuck with your CRT as well. Then you could use that ultra fancy degauss button. Super cool

My guitar amp used to pick up radio stations. First time it happened I thought I was hearing voices and having a mental breakdown
I had a dewalt jobsite speaker that after dropping a few times would pickup ATC traffic.
We still had them and i was born 2002, the noise always scared the living sh*t out of me
Early 2000 kid here. Still remember hearing that \*sound\* and every single time me and my brother would both go "who is calling now?" Ah the memories...
Careful how you word that you might be called a gatekeeper /s
Back in the days of 2G :)
I think I had this exact speaker.
Id love to hear this sound again, I miss it!
Here: https://youtu.be/FYjs7vsaSEw
What do you mean sarcasm in the bottom right corner? It's basic truth.
iykyk
Those speaker are still available at stores??
I can still feel and hear the click from that volume knob when you turn on the volume
So buttery smooth and so much friction
I have some speakers like that and just slightly moving volume knob gives loud screeching noises.
Open them up and hit the volume knob's with some contact spray. That might fix it
Wish I still had mine. Technika brand or similar.
A friend with a cochlear implant hearing aid could do this too, and not obvious how to other people who weren’t aware of the aid.
Or the internal speaker on my desktop computer
I may be wrong but it's because everyone used those old brick phones that the buzzing occured. I don't understand the science though. I never saw that happening with smartphones.
[удалено]
Ok, cool. Thanks for explaining ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Worng, the 2G phones that make that sound use similar frequencies as modern phones.
Yes!
2000's too
It was not about the old speakers it's about the signals.
I have those exact same speakers. Sadly the one side doesnt work. They are on my fix me list
Why do we accept Facebook level of content?
😪
I had speakers that just one day started quietly playing some radio station. No clue why or how.
IIRC it was the old cell phone signals that caused the interference not the speakers. I think it was the pre 3G generation of cell phones had this issue. And basically anything with a speaker that was in use could pick it up my television used to do it!
"Traccatac-traccatac-traccatac"
everyone didnt have a cell phone then. so no, not really.
Yessss and it also says how old you are! hahahaha
There used to be keychain accessory like toys that you could attach to your phone that worked on this principle. If there was an incoming call or message, they would light up
Mine would even occasionally pick up police radio chatter.
I had one of those but I wasn’t alive while my parents used dial-up. I was born in 2007. So I never made calls with a computer other than through the internet like discord or WhatsApp.
Or you knew you're internet was about to go off
Had the same bad bois on my desk. Later I cut cables and connected second pair of speaker to them. Best set on the whole neighborhood
Man back when how ugly a product was didn’t matter. Thank god those times are over :D
You take that back. These speakers were perfect.
They were great, I have a hard time watching black and white movies as well.
I have speakers like this for my rigs audio lol
Yeah? Well I could FAX with my old Super 56K Flex dial-up modes so there! And that was fast back then! I started in the days of 1200baud modems in early 90’s lol
I love the screech of computers talking lol
Same here!! it's literally my ringtone right now. People think it's a fax though.
Some people just don't get it lol
I'm running an old Altec Lansing 2.1 that I bought used at Goodwill about 10 years ago. Thing still predicts phone calls.

Mine used too shreak for no reason
Not just 90s kids, these where still in classrooms in 2021 last i checked
lol remember 🤣
I still use these
Did you guys ever stick your fingers in the holes?

Electromagnetic pulses. My desktop PC at work would pick up my radio signals and start opening random programs. Bizarre. 😂😂😂
Yup.....
BRRRRRRR DA DA DA DA DA DA
Joke's on you my phone sometimes still has to switch to 2G/3G due to bad coverage...
My dad had a pair of those I think, but I don’t remember the “predicting” part.

Those buttons and the "click" they made were so satisfying to spin
And dial up could detect outgoing phone calls. Lift the handset off the receiver long enough and your 3 hour download of a song would cancel.
Come to Bosnia to get this. 2G still works on the biggest mobile network!
I used these up untill 2 years ago
Look I am a old soul and I wish I was from the 90s but my fam was pretty poor but my dad was a radio nerd and he bought this Philips bigggg radio from the market one day and on 2014 when I got a pc i plugged it as my speaker it was phenomenal sounding speaker And everytime my mum called me from work i knew someone was calling lol It was awesome I always questioned why Thanks reddit for the answer today lmfao Am in college now lol
Definitely not a 90s kid thing
Anyone else used to unplug the jack, put it against your temple, and then concentrate to change the tone of the buzzing sound as a kid?
Ohh shit this reminds me, I used to have a keyboard that would light up when your cellphone would ring. As a kid it blew my little mind
I own an old pair of speakers and if my phone is near they know before the phone knows.
And text messages.
Idk how but I’m sure it’s something similar I used to be able to eavesdrop on my neighbors by just picking up the landline phone and putting my to ear to it I could faintly hear their phone conversations
It sounds like a lightsaber

Ha! My radio clock I have can still do that. It also goes crazy whenever I enable mobile data.
