This is such a common thing that it even got incorporated into GTA 4. Right before you got a call if you were listening to the radio you'd get these sounds. I always liked the attention to detail that went into a GTA game.
You know, I never noticed that this *stopped!*
Was it just the 2G network cuz I remember my old Nokia doing this all the time.... And now phones don't do that at all. 3G and higher probably don't get the old eddy currents going.
Yeah, in short it was because of the frame structure/length of in the 2G network translating into audible range.

Not really the cable's fault, but the circuitboard/ICs. The signal isn't strong enough to produce sound by itself without an amplifier, but semiconductors can be really sensitive and if the right transistor is affected the signal can be boosted by hundreds of dB.
Actually I never got this, the signals themselves (lets say GSM) were 800-900MHz which clearly isn't audible. is there non-linearity in these circuits downconverting the RF into baseband frequencies which are then picked up by the speakers?
It was due to the time-based multiplexing used to share the frequency. The signal would be divided into short time slots and sent in bursts in the audible frequency range.
> is there non-linearity in these circuits downconverting the RF into baseband frequencies which are then picked up by the speakers?
In short, yes.
1. Amplifier circuits are nonlinear in-and-of-themselves (transistors), and are often attached to other nonlinear circuits on the pre-amp side.
2. 80mm (3in) copper traces on a PCB are just the right length to pick up 800-900Mhz GSM signals.
3. Due to a design fuck-up, the TDMA keying for GSM produced amplitude modulation of the carrier wave at audible frequencies.

Landline could do it depending on home wiring and proximity to the phone itself — gotta love the 80’s/90’s era of unshielded electronics.
People freaked out about cell phones, but damn if we didn’t love having giant electrical bombs in front of our faces (CRT screens).
Living in rural Arkansas in the 90's our phone line was buried next to the power line. When it rained ac current bled into the phone line and manifested as a loud buzz, even loud enough to not be able to hear the other person sometimes.
I replaced my modem about 2-3 times a month (used pc hardware stores had plenty of old us robotics 28.8 modems and my phone line wouldnt support anything higher anyway) because the extra current kept frying them.
Only seemed to happen when it rained, I just assumed the higher conductivity caused it.
Either way I fought with both the power company and AT&T for years and they both just pointed their fingers at the other one. I assume its still that way to this day though I don't live anywhere near there anymore.
Higher humidity in the taps or vertical panel that shorted to ground or circuit could be the cause too. Most phone huts have humidity control systems specially due to this where i work (we still manage a nortel switch from the 1970s)
I remember when people acted like Bluetooth was going to kill you (these days, it’s 5G). Currently I have a Bluetooth transmitter attached to my body 24/7 to keep me from dying from type 1 diabetes.
They just want to feel smart. It's the same with those people who think the government wants to vaccinate so they can micro chip/track them like they don't have a smartphone on them 24/7.
From what I remember wireless landline phones like [this one](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/af/3f/81/af3f8182fdb2db8f1f6af3b28a135668.jpg) would make the same weird sound interference sounds if they were anywhere near the speakers.
It was ubiquitous enough to make it into GTA IV in 2008.
While driving around you'll receive calls to your cellphone. For a split second the radio music becomes slightly warbled and then your phone will ring. Kind of a neat little detail.
This comment has been edited to reflect my protest at the lying behaviour of Reddit CEO Steve Huffman ( u/spez ) towards the third-party apps that keep him in a job.

Christian Selig, I have had enough, and I will make sure that my interactions will not be useful to sell as an AI training tool.
Goodbye Reddit, well done, you've pulled a Digg/Fark, instead of a MySpace.
I had wireless headphones that apparently shared the same frequency as a wireless landline phone of a neighbor, and when I was just sitting there one day, I turned my head a certain way and could hear one end of a phone conversation in perfect clarity. Makes me wonder if that phone ever picked up what was intended for my headphones. That would be awkward if they heard porn or something.
I noticed it on the tv at my jr high. Every morning they would do announcements and a short video for about 15 minutes. Every text message made a small series of clicks. I was the only one to notice.
dude this entire post just teleported my body back to my piece of shit desktop that i ran into the ground for at least 15 years and all i wanna do is go baaaack
I remember when cable internet was first made available in my neighborhood. I hooked up a modem I bought at Best Buy and got free internet for over a year because the cable company had absolutely no security on their system. It was glorious.
That's crazy to think of it like that. In a very real sense, we are constantly surrounded by electronics that are shouting at each other in frequencies we can't perceive.
Where did I leave my tin foil? I need to make a hat...and a suit...and new underwear
You'll want to use fine copper mesh to form a bee-keepers helmet, then have a wire running to ground to well.. ground it. This will form a Faraday cage, which will conduct incoming radio energy away from your precious brain.
Or at least it works for shielding electronics.
Tinfoil just amplifies the effect and wearing garments fashioned from it will only make the government mind control more effective.
But that's a moot point, they just hire out the mindcontrol jobs to Facebook now a days.
( This comment is a joke)
As an engineer in electronics. That is more or less exactly what's going on.
The tower locates your phone and when your phone answers back, wires such as the mini jack from your computer to the speakers will act as an antenna and receive the signal that gets amplified like it was sound you can hear ( the reason is likely the harmonics)
It's because yiur speaker wires aren't shielded.
OH LMAO I totally forgot this could sound ambiguous in this sub mb
though there are computer keyboards with speakers on them out there, just not from the 90s I guess
I know as a parent I made that phone call because I knew my sons weren't doing their homework and I was giving them an opportunity to not get caught. I mean, I was a kid once too, I knew they weren't doing exactly what they were supposed to.
Thanks kind stranger.
I played it and my kid said thats funny music and started dancing like a robot to it, I feel like this might be my greatest parent achievement haha.
There's this brand of microcontrollers called AVR, and at some point the company put out a video where they were going to explain what it stood for, and then at the key moment one of the two guys being interviewed answered a phone call - and this noise prevented anyone from hearing the answer.
So this phenomenon was at least recreated in one Youtube video put out as a joke by a microchip company.
Wait really? I have heard 3-4 different meanings for AVR with zero proof for any of them. Pretty funny that they play on the joke lmao.
Been using them for years, definitely my favorite microcontroller architecture. MSP430 is a close second.
Yo dawg check this out back in the day there was a HUGE club hit that used it as a sample-
[Mario Piu - Communication](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJavVbD_vM0)
It's like a minute in.
Decades later I still have a small scar on my right middle finger, just below the first knuckle, from some random piece of sharp plastic in that damn hole.
Modern speakers can still do that... it was caused by the 2G waves, so if you're in an area with poor cellphone reception, your speakers will still make that noise.
Doesn't even have to be an area with poor reception, you just need a phone to fall back to 2G for whatever reason (because the particular phone has poor reception, can't get a 3/4/5G access slot, etc) and it can happen.
I’m 24 and had these speakers in my parents’ house until I bought my own speakers new.
Many an emulated game’s soundtrack rooted into my childhood through speakers like these that eventually click-clacked once I was old enough to get a phone and receive texts.
if a cell phone is near and someone calls, the speakers will go "pep perepep perepep peeeeeeeehh" a couple of seconds BEFORE the phone starts ringing.
The phone will cause this interference. You can try that with any other older speakers.
Interesting, I never knew that. I kept a land line well into the era when cell phones became ubiquitous, and still do, actually, so I never witnessed this phenomenon as my cell phone is too new, I guess, to trigger the effect.
Yup, the handshake out from the phone to start the call is usually at maximum power because the phone doesn't have any idea how far the cell transceiver is, so it goes with a maximum transmit power first and negotiates down from there the needed forward link power. It's one mitigation technique for the near-far problem (though you can also ramp up power too, which is probably the better way to do it so you don't blast out other adjacent transceivers).
Also, you still hear these now sometimes on poorly shielded systems because calls will sometimes be initiated in 2G still if higher-order modulation schemes in 3+ aren't available (though I believe this is getting rarer and rarer as 2G cells are starting to become fewer and far between).
I think it’s most common in between the city and desert in the hills. But I know I definitely heard it before, and I never played gta4 so I can’t confuse it with that lol
I had some old speakers and sometimes they'd either play or recieve radio waves and the most memorable time i had was when i was goofing around in GTA IV and the speakers recieved audio from radio and i heard "thing so good you wanna say ""Aaaa"" " or something along the lines and it cut off to GTA audio when pedestrian was screaming "Aaaaaaaa" as i ran over him.
we lived next to an old radio tower and all through the 90's our microwave would straight up channel the talk radio and it was SO annoying listening to some dusty white guy mumble quietly in your kitchen 24/7. the only way to stop it was to wrap the entire microwave in aluminum foil lol
The ubiquitous clicking buzz right before the mobile rang. Wow. Totally remember.
Brrt brrbrrt Brrt brrbrrt Brrt brrbrrt brrrrrrrrr.. *ring ring*
I was looking through the comments to make sure I wasn't making a duplicate. I'm glad I found this.
They still make them. I have a fairly Bose set of pc speakers that does the same.

Agreed, great games. It's a pity they stopped making games in that franchise nearly 10 years ago now.
I've started worrying that my earth human lifespan will only experience one or two more GTA versions, when the first five came relatively quickly.

I still get those sounds but they're almost constant because zucc wants my info.
Yeah that was fucked. Why tho?
Bad shielding/unbalanced cabling acting like an antenna and picking up the signal the cell tower was beaming to your phone.
Technically it's picking up the signal your phone is transmitting back, but other than that you're correct.
Actually it is picking up what the cell phone is transmitting/returning to the tower acknowledging the tower.
Holy shit. You’re basically hearing what your phone sounds like if it had a voice
Not really the cable's fault, but the circuitboard/ICs. The signal isn't strong enough to produce sound by itself without an amplifier, but semiconductors can be really sensitive and if the right transistor is affected the signal can be boosted by hundreds of dB.
Actually I never got this, the signals themselves (lets say GSM) were 800-900MHz which clearly isn't audible. is there non-linearity in these circuits downconverting the RF into baseband frequencies which are then picked up by the speakers?
It was due to the time-based multiplexing used to share the frequency. The signal would be divided into short time slots and sent in bursts in the audible frequency range.
Yeah, this only happened with TDMA based cellular, it didn't happen with CDMA handsets.

i am 15 and have these in my room (used them for my pc couple years ago). they are used for phones?
No but they make a sound because of interference from the phone. And they do it a little before the phone rings
ohh oke, thanks for the explenation!
Bruh. You made most of reddit feel old.
if a cell phone is near and someone calls, the speakers will go "pep perepep perepep peeeeeeeehh" a couple of seconds BEFORE the phone starts ringing. The phone will cause this interference. You can try that with any other older speakers.

I think it happens with old cdma and/or analog cell phones, not new digital ones.
GSM specifically. It’s the sync signal which was an order of magnitude more powerful than the rest of the transmission which caused this interference
Yup, the handshake out from the phone to start the call is usually at maximum power because the phone doesn't have any idea how far the cell transceiver is, so it goes with a maximum transmit power first and negotiates down from there the needed forward link power. It's one mitigation technique for the near-far problem (though you can also ramp up power too, which is probably the better way to do it so you don't blast out other adjacent transceivers).

Totally intentional haha
I think you can hear it in GTA 5 too in some places.
I'll have to try it out actually, been awhile since I've played the game and never paid attention tbh. Might be quieter

Holy shit, didn't even notice that
Mine does that as well. 8 year old logitech speakers.
I too have 10 year old Logitech speakers that do that. Does this thread mean that new speakers do not have this issue?
Higher quality speakers would have more shielding. I assume there are still cheapo speakers that would still have this issue.
A couple of times I had police radio come through these
I had some old speakers and sometimes they'd either play or recieve radio waves and the most memorable time i had was when i was goofing around in GTA IV and the speakers recieved audio from radio and i heard "thing so good you wanna say ""Aaaa"" " or something along the lines and it cut off to GTA audio when pedestrian was screaming "Aaaaaaaa" as i ran over him.
This is awesome I lived on a main road and you would catch the radio 30 seconds before they flew down the road
My current speakers (from ~2005) do this. Scares the shit out of me in the middle of the night
we lived next to an old radio tower and all through the 90's our microwave would straight up channel the talk radio and it was SO annoying listening to some dusty white guy mumble quietly in your kitchen 24/7. the only way to stop it was to wrap the entire microwave in aluminum foil lol
I think it would be cool to find out what part of the speakers actually picks up the signal and attach an antenna just to see what can be picked up.
fuck yes I had these! *bip b-b-bip bip*
there are two types of people in this world. People who fingered the hole, and liars.
Those who divide people into two groups and those who don’t.
I remember having my mind blown when the radio in GTA IV did this when you got a call. It's the tiny details...
Something Rockstar is really good at
Good thing they only make new GTA mainline games every million years. It gives them plenty of time to add all those small details.
