Cool iPhone interferes with speakers/subwoofer?

Have any of you noticed that when your iPhone is placed near speakers or a subwoofer it causes them to emit a strange noise?

Or is it just something weird going on in my house?

Thanks,
Alra111

Nope, quite common. I get it all the time. At 1st, I thought I had a neighbor with a ham radio.

Just move the iPhone several feet away, and the "morse code" goes away.

Yeah, that happens with a lot of phones, not just the iPhone. It's the signal that it gets from the cell towers I imagine.

Its just radio interference and normal with all cell type devices. Nature of the beast. In fact, the iPhone is not as bad with this as my previous phone (Motorola on iDen from Nextel.) That thing could cause issue 10' or more across the room.

Thank your local governments regulating a shrinking bandwidth spectrum.
