This is masterful! There's absolutely no way I can tell if it's a put-on
or not.

At the risk of looking like an idiot, I'll give a serious answer: That
is obviously a local ham (or anyone else owning a device capable of
transmitting morse codeIwhose signal is being picked up by your computer
or its speakers, or the wiring between them.

No, I couldn't ever make one like this one up.

I'm seriously looking for (reasonable) input.

I'm not at all paranoid. :-)
'Couldn't be, and be retired as VP Eng after 27 years, plus being an expert
witness (corporate, design), around the US, multiple corporate lawsuits.
Never worked so damned hard in my whole life! Glad I'm retired!

Anyhoo, I'll be trying out the tinfoil and shielding ideas.
I do have a land line phone literally right next to my computer, and the
same land line had 30 Mhz portables connected to it in other rooms, although
they are hung on the base stations usually.

The guy behind me is such a basket case, that I put absolutely nothing past
him. Other neighbors stay away from him also, like the plague.

I would be happy to find it is something simple and innoculous, like a
telephone line.

BTW, I remember when I was 16, repairing TV's in the late 50's, neighbors
would call me up and bitch that I must be using ham equipment.
I had no Ham equipment, I just fixed TV's.
Many times I was away for the weekend 25 miles away!
So I hate to see Hams nailed.
I understand about TV manufacturers eliminating TV shielding from the 1960's
on, and it is not a Ham's fault when it nails TV.
It's cheap TV design. No shielding, like they used to do.

Oh, and it just did the "dit---etc---etc" as I was just typing the last
sentence.

Thanks for any further ideas.

Thanks----
Ron

One of the computers in my office had an integrated sound card, and
periodically, it would start a variable rate ch ch ch ticking sound- for
a couple seconds, and then it would go away - happened once or twice
most days. That building was practically a Faraday cage - so I'm sure
it was internal to the computer.
