Default What does power line interference sound like?

I was driving home last night from my bowling league and went a different
way than I'd ever gone before. (Only lived here in Scottsdale about 4
months.) Anyway, I discovered that I've got a large mass of power lines (big
ones!) about a 1/2 mile east of my apartment.

I've been playing around with my new YB400PE for the last week and can get
some stations from Austraila late at night, and various stations (mostly
with religious programming) from all over the US. I have picked up the BBC
faintly a couple of times. Various stations with languages that I can't make
out. All very interesting and fun!

But on many frequencies, I get a lot of interference. Sounds like an
electric motor or car engine revving. Could this be the power line
interference?

Thanks in advance.
