I don't have any issues with the AM Band in this regard but I do have issues like this on the FM Band ALL THE TIME! Whenever I go by any sort of business like a gas station or even where I work at a higher end Amish Inspired Restaurant in a town that is mostly dead when it comes to cell phone signals the FM band gets a loud buzzing noise on it that completely wipes out the station until you drive away from those locations, even traffic signals have been known to cause tons of interference on the FM band in my car. And where I work (speaking of which) I've tried to use a walkman radio on the FM Band and it is completely dead signal wise, it won't pick up anything just a loud humming/buzzing noise.

In the home setting my parents have overhead electronically ballasted florescent lights (T9 Style Florescent Tubes) and whenever those lights are turned on the FM Band on any tabletop radio or stereo receiver just hums really loud and doesn't pick up any stations.

weird thing is that at my house I have no issues with the FM band (but I don't have any modern electronically ballasted florescent lights in my home either or any "dirty" switching power supplies).
