3 recordings of various rfis made by refreshing the radio signal on myphone and putting it close to my microphone. First sound however, was coming from my electric piano, because my phone was on top of it.
Radio frequency interference at the 1200 khz mark of the a. M. Band, caused by varying proximity to a laptop computer. Very active and obnoxious high-pitched static and squeals.
The interference produced at the low (left) end of the radio dial on a jambox set up close to a dvd burner while in operation. Sound rises and falls as the burner writes to disc.
Scrolling through various shortwave frequencies, caught a tone that slowly turned into a beep with rising tempo. Radio used was a grundig yacht boy 207 with a broken antenna, recorded on a tascam dr-05x.
Exploring the medium wave frequencies. Everything here sounds creepy. Radio used was a grundig yacht boy 207 with a broken antenna, recorded on a tascam dr-05x.
Scrolling through various shortwave frequencies, caught couple tones among the noise. Sounded like sad horns. Radio used was a grundig yacht boy 207 with a broken antenna, recorded on a tascam dr-05x.
A less harsh, almost tickling of static pops from the right-hand side of the fm radio dial, interspersed with harsh interference (source unknown). Recorded from a digital tuner.
Dead air on an a. M. Radio station while lightning in the area "tickles" the frequency to create static peaks. Perhaps similar to the sounds of a radiation or metal detector.
A very harsh section of static with periodic interference (source unknown) from the far right-hand side of the fm radio dial, at 106. 7 mhz. Recorded from a digital tuner.
Low pitch static which reminds me of 1950s sci-fi television. Created by filtering a static wave from an analog radio then slowing the pitch and adding a mechanization effect.
Two sennheiser g3 transmitters were set for the same frequency; one of them was transmitting a previous interference recording from my macbook p2 phone output, the other one had no input;the receptor was connected to loudspeakers; the interference would vary as i moved each transmitter around. I recorded the loudpeakers output through the macbook built-in microphone, on audacity. This is a specially noisy part i exported. Not a pretty sound, but may be useful.
Sound / noise from the electromagnetic frequencies of a wifi extender. There seems to be a lot of radiation and interference from the device. Recorded with a micbooster electromagnetic pick-up into a zoom h6.
Sound / noise from the electromagnetic frequencies of an iphone. There seems to be a lot of radiation and interference from such a small device. Recorded with a micbooster electromagnetic pick-up into a zoom h6.
Sound / noise from the electromagnetic frequencies of a wifi modem / router while streaming music on youtube. There seems to be a lot of radiation and interference from the device. Recorded with a micbooster electromagnetic pick-up into a zoom h6.

This is static actually coming from my radio but its plugged into the same cord as my tv & they are very close together. So it's actually interference. Also the proximity of my phone gives more sound (ringy static). That really awesome modulating sound is the moment between clicking the on button & the picture coming on the screen. 2nd try was better after i adjusted the tuner a bit.
Lofi radio sound recorded with 3 eur cheap radio unit. Recorded with tascam dr-22wl. ---in case you use any of my sounds, i will be happy to be informed, although it is not necessary. Recorded in 2018.
Noises from an old gdr tube radio (1966, oberon) when tuning through mw, lw and ukw bands. I tried to separate the different noises and let them be heard for a few seconds so you can edit the noises you need. First there's lw, then mw then a few noises from buttons on the radio then ukw at the end with fragments of some german radio stations in 2021.
Using a variety of 1980s radios connected via a headphone output to the computer, i tuned in - across the entire bandwidth - of the mw and lw channels. I also captured the static hiss of those bands, 'dead air'. There are small clips of various stations along the way but i was looking for that 'tuning in' sound that was so familiar when radio was the central part of every teenager's life.
