Lately this strange kind of electrical interference has been popping up everywhere in my life... manifesting itself as a fast, loud double or sometimes triple popping that reoccours every 10-20 minutes. I hear it at work (projecting films) coming out of the room speakers, I hear it at home watching television (actually most often watching videos), I heard it at a friend's house coming out of his external computer speakers, and a few weeks ago I noticed the sound buried in a mix (DAW) I had already wrapped up on... I had bounced before I had noticed it, before I could trace which track it had ended up on... probably something direct, like a guitar pedal. Or maybe a mic'd amp? And I hear it through my monitors. Not via recordings, of their own accord.
Work: projector and amplifier grounded, at a university that provides its own power. Everything else: tv, my crappy monitors, etc. I think are ungrounded.
Hopefully this hasn't been addressed here before, but what in the heck is this? At home sometimes it goes away for a few days then comes back. crazy, and it's getting irritating.
Strange elect. interference... intermittent rapid popping.

Re: Strange elect. interference... intermittent rapid poppi
I have never had that, but if it is a relatively new problem, and not just occuring at your house, I would consider the possability that it has something to do with cell phone signals, or one of the newer technologies. Perhaps even related to wireless net or something.

Does anyone else hear it?
Maybe you're going crazy.
Be careful, you could be a potential victim of spontaneous combustion. . . .
