PuppyKing Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Sometimes when I am in my room with the fan on, and if I listen really closely, I can hear faint music. When I turn off the fan, the music stops. I have searched my room/house, and cant find any electronic things that would produce sounds (that were on). I have come to the conclusion that my fan is picking up radio waves. Here is the fan is question. Am I going crazy, or is this plausible? Blog.

Iamdan Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I've heard about this. Cables in the house act as an antenna, diode in the fan converts AM into sound via a vibrating case or motor coil windings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 It doesn't surprise me. I've heard of reported cases in which a person's braces have picked up radio waves. Don't know whether it's true or not. Could you possibly make a video of the fan when it does this. It would be cool to hear.

helpmeownlife Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 This is from the Yahoo! Answers page, which probably means you have a radio station transmitting very close to your house. I listened more closely and heard "Voice" and "700". Searched online, and it turns out there is a radio station called 700AM Voice that broadcast less than a mile from my apartment!! And yeah, radio stations used to transmit so intensely that people could pick up radio in their braces, and hear them through their ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
