My speakers tune in Fm Stations?

[Trizoy]

So I had my speakers turned up high for an ebaums video... after I turned the video off, I noticed a little background noise. There is now a radio station playing through my speakers, without any antenna! I have them hooked up regularly and correct... anyone had this before?


I dont know what they are saying, it is in spanish...

Most metal objects can pick up radio frequencies, they just need to be picked up/tuned to the right frequency and then applified, say, through speakers...... Example, quality pick-ups from an electric guitar can pick up both radio and phone frequencies....... Even just a cable connected to an amp, raised in the air, can pick up radio frequencies.......

Half way through one of my guitar lessons, my teacher got a phone call on his cell phone and got major interference through the amp, and, at one point, could here part of the conversation through the amp........

I had this happen with a old set of speakers I had you can clearly listen to the radio through them if you turn the volume all the way up because theres a radio tower down the street from me

If want to get rid of it, You can stop by a local electronics store and pick up some ferrite beads to put around the cable. They should help get rid of the problem.

They had something similar on Mythbusters where they tried to pick up radio frequencies with tooth fillings......(didn't work....) But I think I left a factor out earlier where the metal has to be 'charged' because in the show, the salinity in the saliva was a factor in the myth......
