Default 1Hz click external noise?

I use a balun to hopefully decouple.
I got a little reduced click when I
brought the coax to physical ground
at the base of the mast, instead of
letting it run across the roof.

Today I experimented more. Seems the
click wants to appear when I get one
leg of the dipole within about 15 ft
of my phone/cable digital box on the
side of the house.
