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?

I installed some shielded speaker cables and interconnects and no longer hearing "the voices". Plus the sound has improved. They're Audio Authority Four Conductor 14 gauge speaker cables and AA Excellerator IC's.

So far so good.

Wouldn't think it would be coming in through the speaker cables because the speaker/amp circuit is such low impedance.

Interconnects are another story...

Don't know myself how it causes my gear to pick up the signal. Maybe its coincidence but I haven't heard any interference lately. Hopefully its gone for good however it was coming through.
