Strange noises

Hi all. I run this little Magnavox amp on my desk. Just recently, I started hearing different frequency sounds coming out of my speakers. The frequency is higher pitched at lower volumes and goes lower as I turn up the volume. Any ideas what going on?

I am sure that you have tried turning ALL electronic devices off so that there is the interference problem sectionalized. And as you know, it usually means lights too these days. Didn't you have a ham radio in the mix in your shop or was that someone else?
 
I'm still laughing. I knew that I smelled ham or something like it (ok, not like it per se, but you see where it led). I know, you got the cord pulled, right? My point is that maybe a certain combination of equipment in the room as mentioned in the above post or something changed in the last few hours/days that you might not know about or thought about. You know better than I do how much more vibrations are in the air these days. Back in the day, I would visit microwave sites to do installation of some new equipment, and I even wonder if it changed me. Something was happening in those sites.
