Am picking up radio signals through my HDMI port?

Hello,

seldom and rare heard but possible. If the cables have the right length it could come to inductions as the cable or cables act similar to a antenna.

Is there a radio station / transmitter in your sourroundings?

Could even be a few miles away depending on signal strength.

Eventually even a cheap cordless headphone, speaker or streaming client could cause this.

Some of that in your house?

Reminds me of my grad school days in Rochester, NY, when vinyl was the source of all music. I had a decent stereo system for an impoverished student, but imagine my surprise when I learned, and not gently, that the phono cartridge in my turntable was perfectly attuned to receive the radio frequency used by the Rochester public transit bus dispatcher, whose signal was very strong indeed. I might be grooving along to Jefferson Starship, the Grateful Dead or Pink Floyd, gently ratlling the windows throughout our apartment and adjoining houses, puffing on a little of this or a little of that, when without warning I would be jolted out of my chair and across the room by an ear-shattering interjection of static-laden and distorted verbiage about the University Avenue local D bus, whose driver had just been vomited on my a drunk and needed advice about how to handle it. It was a real mood-spoiler for me. I replaced my phonograph cartridge and the problem was solved

Seems we are from the same half of the last century 😉

A simple trick for first Aid.

pull the antenna cable from your stereo and eventually from TV

It seems, on of your near neighbors buy a cheap but strong wireless headphone or speaker equipment in the last days to spread his or her radio experience over the own flat.

Someone recently moved in?

Or cover your walls with tin-foil 😉

I unplugged the antenna from the stereo and that helped dimish the interference by a couple notches, though not completely gone.

Buy a better shielded antenna cable (90 Ohm) eventually with a filter-plug. The electronic shop guy (if old enough) will know what you need if you tell the story.

Eventually buy a deep pass filter for the power plug too.

STILL ROTFLMAO

Seriously, please save the "correct answer" and "helpful answer" for those who are not being infantile as I am.

I would feel better if posters like lupunus got credit.

Working idea of building a Farday's cage like the miltary do with copper plating the command shelters against emp.

You may also buy special wallpaper with a build in metal grid or metal conditioned wall paint for that.

But useless if the induction came along the antenna or power cable.
