I am staying in this house where the person has a couple of powered
subwoofers. One large home theatre onkyo and a computer altec lansing one. I've never had problems with these before but I find I need to power them off to sleep. Does anyone have any experience with why a powered subwoofer would be particularly "noisy" from a power perspective. They both have the transformer power bricks. Thanks, Alan |
It may depend what frequency the brick switches at.
Also, if the dirty power leaks into the coils in the speaker then they act like a big magnet/ antenna. When playing they also put out ELF magnetic fields in the audible frequency ranges.

Thanks for the insight. I was wondering if there is a way to find out
what frequency it would switch at. I take it it is not at 60hz would the voltage (i.e. 12v) be in indicator?

I don't know of a way-- except holding it up to a spectrum analyzer,
analyzing the circuit theoretically, or possibly looking it up on the FCC website ( I posted a link to the site a few days ago) if you can find the FCC ID number. I think usually they are a few tens of kilohertz or up to 200 kHz. There will be strong harmonics above that I assume.
