Help me /sci/, I know you can.

My current speaker setup displays an extremely strange phenomenon.
I keep my speakers running at all times and between them is roughly a 15ft wire connecting the unpowered speaker to the power source-speaker combo. In addition, there is a 15ft 3.5mm male-male wire connecting my laptop to the aux input.
Sometimes (very rarely), the speakers output a foreign signal that sounds similar to an AM or CB radio broadcast.
I don't understand why this is happening.

Please help, this is seriously confusing me.

>3.5mm male-male wire
clean the contacts, alcohol helps
use different cable to compare
>>
>>8427054
Simple, long wire acts as an antenna and picks up the transmissions. You have a shitty power amp, senpai as this should not normally occur.
>>
I guess the wire acts like an antennae. It is a bit over 1m. Its long enough to pick up plenty of radio channels.

Could this be from a magnetic field interference produced by the speakers or amp?

checked the grounding?

It is most likely the grounding. I doubt you are getting rf intererference unless you are using unshielded wires, which would have been a very poor decision.

what if the alien signal has content

unplug audio source plug
leave the plug dangling
plug to the ether
listen to untold wisdom

not all 3.5mm cables are really shielded
cheapware mostly has 3 open wires, one blank
for grounding in gold we trust
and isobutanol

i was thinking it was the wire picking up RF too, but then how would the speaker demodulate it
it's not like audio devices output modulated signals O_o
>>
>>8427813
The first stage of the audio amp demodulates RF unless taken care of.
>>
>>8427843
why would my reference monitors demodulate RF, don't they only amplify and transduce any electrical signal
>>
>>8427813
Isn't AM radio encoded in the amplitude of the wave? That signal can move the speaker cone if amplified enough.
>>
>>8428421
its true that AM utilizes the amplitide of the original signal as the basis of the new signal, but this new signal is completely different from the original signal. they would sound nothing alike
>>
>>8427403
Thats most aux cables.
