I get that interference also. I can turn off everything in the house, it comes and goes. Sometimes it is quiet as a church mouse. Mine sounds like a 60cycle buzz that is kind of staticy. It is kind of tunable also. Sometimes it is so bad, I cant even listen, esp in the upper freq's. I think it is coming in on the power lines. I also get a horrible buzzing that lasts for about 5 seconds about 2x day. It's bad enough I can even hear it in the transformers of our vapor lights outside, makes flourescent lights flicker and ruins recordings! Bout gave me a heart attack first time it did it on my radio! Power company is shooting some kind of signal I think. I used to get a whistle/buzz that was so bad I couldnt even listen to any AM. I gave up for a time. It was right after our power company installed some kind of fancy electronic meter. Things havent been good since.
