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:
  • 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.

Do you have any sort of Wifi or security system? Also disconnect incoming network and cable TV cords as well if any.

If this is purely a power issue, in the audible spectrum, Furman power conditioners with LiFT and SMP are really really good for removing noise at an affordable price.

Best,

@erik_squires I unplugged my AV system completely, cable modem included.  It was all off and unplugged.  No affect.  Thanks for the pointer to Furman, I'll check them out.
  • PS Audio Noise Harvesters' lights do not correspond to when the noise appears, so they are not sensing it.
It sounds like the cell tower is the culprit. I doubt there is a fix for that!
@yogiboy The only fix for the cell tower would be a faraday cage?  I have researched EMF curtains to put up behind my system.
