radio waves and speaker phones

Paul Coffman
Hi -

My big problem is (I think) radio waves coming from a local airport when I
am at my house. One thing I noticed about a 900Mhz cordless speaker phone
that I have is whenever I use it at my house, and I'm using the speaker
option to talk hands-free with it, it seems to pick up some sort of
whooshing-fading in and out type of sound - I can actually hear it coming
out of the speaker, and then it acts like I am talking in that I can't hear
what other people are saying, and furthermore other people can't hear me at
all - if I push the 'mute' button so that the phone isn't picking up my
voice or any noise around me then the whooshing noise coming out of the
speaker goes away. I can't actually hear the whooshing noise myself - only
through the speaker phone. When I bring my phone to other places far from
where I live the phone is fine and no whooshing noise. My question is, does
anyone have an opinion what it is exactly that my phone could be picking
up? Could it be some sort of radio wave, maybe evern the ones from the
airport that I think I have a problem with - could these radio waves
translate to sound when they come in contact with the microphone inside my
speaker phone? Or is it more likely some low-level physical noise that I
just don't hear normally?

Cordless phones can be impaired with wifi nearby, if you are ES you probably
dont want a RF device in your home anyway, its just adding to your load,
most of which you have little control over.
