I went on a noise hunt in my house even to the point of
actually pulling dimmer controls out of the wall to see
if anything changed. After exhausting all possible sources,
I said to myself what else is drawing power in the house.
The source of my noise........ Television sets that are
plugged in but not on! Check that out. I also found
noise coming out of a telephone answering machine, my
VCR and other small electronic devices such as digital
clocks. Use a small handheld AM receiver as I did as
your test equipment. You will be surprised at what you
find.
