@kosst_amojan- is it possible that the building itself is set up with these devices you identified? (They seem to act like repeaters, to increase strength within buildings). Unless a neighbor set one up to improve his/her cell reception, as @jea48 alluded to, why wouldn't the building itself provide such a facility? Given the density and height of the buildings in Manhattan, I remember encountering dead spots in coverage walking around on the streets (granted, this was some years ago, I haven't done that for quite a while, and now no longer live or work in NY).
high frequency intermittent noise
I have a noise issue that is intermittent. Here is what the noise sounds like:

Here is what I know so far:

Here is what I know so far:
- The sound affects all components and is compounded if all components are turned on. I have turned off my preamp, phono preamp, leaving just my mono blocks on, and the noise still appears.
- I have turned off everything and unplugged everything in the house including my dimmer switch, and the noise still appears.
- I have a pair of pro-audio monitors, self powered with class AB amps, and when I plug those into the same outlet, I hear the same noise coming through the pro-audio monitor. So this rules out my big system.
- The noise is primarily during the day and goes into the evenings, weekends too, early mornings it does not appear.
- I live in a pre-war mid-rise building. I have no ground, I'm using a Nordost QKore grounding system. This did reduce the noise floor quite a bit, but has no affect on this intermittent noise.
- I have a cell phone tower directly across the street from my building in Manhattan.
- Looking at a real time analyzer, I see peak at 2kHz when the noise appears.

Here is another recording taken early in the morning with no subway cars under my building: https://clyp.it/ae0xgczb Note there are 2 noises:
The Furman has buffered me from my refrigerator noise, I would hear a *click* in my system when the refrigerator would turn on, now it's silent. |
@james1969 - alas, another quiet oasis in NYC gone to hell. This thread is fascinating to me for the deductive work- i know suffering the noise sucks--we've probably all had our share of imponderable issues at times- but i'm learning as i read this. The solution will probably be something obvious and stupid (e.g., did you plug it in?) In the meantime, here's my tin foil hat conspiracy theory connect the dots, Elvis is an alien idea: if the subways have these critters, and the noise coincides with the passage of a subway under or near your building....? |
