The wirdest IT problem I have EVER seen

Hi guys

 

My other half seems to be getting some bloody weird sounds coming out her speakers I mean sometimes its music just now it sounded like someone walking along having a chat there is no programs running at all. This happens sometimes when it first boots up or at random. Any ideas would be very helpful

I have never heard of your problem but there are some trojans out there that open back doors up on peoples computers allowing hackers to do all manor of weird stuff (open cd drives, listen and talk through speakers, flip screens, plus more malicious stuff)

 

might be worth running a full system scan with a decent AV.

I had this happen a few years ago. I heard voices from my computer speakers.

 

I looked outside my window and there was a police car about 6 feet away - the speakers must have picked up the transmitter.

 

Are there any taxi companies near you? I don't know if they've all gone digital now though.

I'd go with interference from CB radio, police/emergency services, or perhaps a radio station being picked up?

 

If you can identify what is being said, why not get a radio and scan to see if you can find a channel playing the same thing?

Can you see any erections in the area? of amateur radio antennas? Reason why you can hear sitcoms is it may simply be the TV in the background, this used to happy to me in our old house through my speakers in the bedroom when I was a kid

Ive still got a set of Altec Lansing speakers that pick up German Radio programs. :D
