The noise seems to becoming from my computer and printer across the room.

I
notice no other loud steady noise level on any other frequencies. Is the
frequency of 11955kHz some harmonic of an RF signal being produced by the
computer and/or printer. The adjacent frequencies are free of this noise.
I've only started monitoring this frequency four months ago. I assume

that
the noise could have always been there. I'll listen again when all of the
computers, printers, TVs, etc. are turned off for the night and will

report
back tomorrow.



Computers are notorious noise makers. The first thing you want to do is
turn everything off in the house and then turn each thing on at a time and
listen. Some things are thermal in nature and don't show themselves until
they run a wile. It took me a wile to find a quiet monitor for the shack. I
got a cable modem that makes a hell of a lot of noise even when its not on,
I have to unplug the ******* from the main to shut it up.
