In my office we often experience instances of a "galloping" sort of buzz
periodically coming from the PC speakers near co-workers who have
Cingular GSM cell phones. A preliminary Web search turns up many
instances of this problem. My understanding is that these phones
periodically communicate with the network, and during these brief bursts
the carrier is modulated at around 200 Hz resulting is a clear,
repeatable buzz pattern. How is this buzz getting into the PC speaker
amplifier, and, more importantly, how can it be prevented?

Thanks,
Doug

This is normal. Just keep the phone away from the speakers.

No, this is NOT normal. This is stupidity on the part of whom ever came up
with the GSM standard... Any NORMAL person, business, corporation, etc.,
would have properly tested for interference potential prior to releasing or
even accepting such a standard.
