At first I had a Cambridge computer speaker emitting an occasional
buzz. It was always the right speaker so I swapped it with the left
one but the buzz remained with the right speaker. I then connected a
older portable radio to the output of the (SB Audigy) which left the
desktop speakers connected to nothing but the Cambridge Soundworks
amp and I still heard the buzz. So the soundcard was eliminated &
believing I had a bad amp I decided to ignore the small annoyance.
However.... It was about a week ago when I was downstairs and the
laptop (with small speakers) that's sitting on the coffee table all
of a sudden emitted a similar buzz. At first I thought I imagined it
so I ignored it. BTW... the laptop is plugged into the wall and I
have a wireless connection to it via a Linksys router.
Then... in the past couple of days a small portable radio that's in
the kitchen has also emitted the same buzzing sound.
One other thing I've also noticed is that on occasion I get a very
tinny or echoey (is that a word <lol>) sort of sound out of my home
theatre equipment.
At first I thought it was the computer equipment but with these other
circumstances I now wonder if there's something on the household AC
that's affecting electronics / speakers? Or maybe a high powered
transmitter somewhere nearby? I'm at a complete loss as to what I
should be looking for.

If it's just an occasional buzz, it might be your cell phone answering a
poll from the mothership. Seriously, have you ever heard this annoyance? I
have to keep my phone away from all of my audio equipment. It emits a buzz
that is picked up by my laptop, my stereo...any equipment with a sound
system within a few feet. Do they ban them from studios these days?
Sometimes it's actually handy. The cell phone buzzes before it starts
ringing. If I keep it hung on the car dash, I hear the buzz in the stereo
in time to have the phone in hand by the time it actually rings.
