Yep.

I rarely use the only antique radio I keep in the upstairs, but I noticed my Radiola 62 was struggling to even get local stations through the blizzard of noise that covered almost the entire band, but was worse about 1000khz and down. I was sure it got NY sports radio from central CT when I first put it in the FLR, but now it was just pure noise.

When my Emerson 911 transistor couldn't get anything, I knew something was up. I threw the main breaker and immediately the transistor came to life, picking up dozens of stations across the whole band. I started snapping on breakers one by one and found many problems.

I had IR light fixtures in the driveway making a ton of noise and probably the worst offender was my cable modem and router. My alarm system also generates noise.
