Dave,
Give us a little more information: - are the sounds continuous? or only happen at certain times of the day? - is it really voices? what does it sound like? - "seems to come from electronic stuff around the house?" What kinds of stuff? Only the PC? - do you hear the sound even when the "stuff" is turned off? Some very strong signals can by heard through stereo speakers even if the stereo is not running. - "coming from BEHIND the computer?" In other words, not from the computer's speakers but somewhere else on the computer? - How is your PC connected to the Internet: dial-up over phone lines? Cable TV modem? Phone company DSL? A few troubleshooting hints: Some people living near Radio or TV stations can hear those stations in electronic devices (phones, stereos, computer speakers). IF the sounds are continuous, that may be the source. If the sounds are not continuous, but only heard once in a while, the sounds are more likely coming from some intermittent source. Perhaps a taxi cab or trucking company radio, a local CB or Ham radio operator... something like that. Can you actually hear a voice, or does it sound like "Donald Duck?" If the voice is intelligible, it is more likely a CB operator running AM (amplitude modulation, the dominant mode on CB); whereas if it sounds like "Donald Duck" talking, it may be a Ham Radio running SSB (single sideband, the dominant mode on amateur radio). As Dave Pratt mentioned in his excellent reply, there are ways to filter out unwanted stray RF energy.... but first you need to understand the source and how/where it is getting into your "stuff". In my opinion, there is no way that VoIP (Voice over IP) could cause this problem... for a whole bunch of geeky reasons. You need to look somewhere else for the culprit. -- -larry K8UT "gumbyridespokey" wrote in message ... I have been getting sounds in our house that seems to come from electronic stuff around the house. I also listened to what sounded like voices coming from behind the computer? We as a Family are stumped. We have written Bell Canada as well as call there teck support, They don't understand what voice over ip provider? Someone has mentioned that this could be happening to get into banks , homes, anything really. If you hack could you please tell me how to fix this. As we said we are stumped? Thanks Dave Toronto, Canada |
