Picking up phone chatter

Frequently I can hear faint phone chatter and even beeping coming through my speakers when my systems on but not playing anything. It's usually one-sided (only hear one side of the conversation). Keep thinking it's a cell phone but there's really no one within 100 feet of my gear.

Don't know how to stop it. Any ideas what's going on?

Are you sure it is phone conversation and not a Ham radio operator? Look for a tower in your neighborhood.

Haven't seen any Ham towers, I'll take a second look. Do have a 2.4ghz cordless phone and a phono pre-amp. However, TT is not part of my system now. Computer link is hi-speed cable (Roadrunner). When playing tunes I sometimes have the wireless internet up. Next time it happens I'll make sure its disconnected.

thanks for the advise guys....

Can't tell. Low level and garbled. Hear series of beeps also between voice like a keying mic. Only hear one side of conversation.
