The recording was not the malfunction of any equipment but the result of my
Telinga mic picking up the signal of a radio broadcasting antenna about 1/4
mile distant. When the mice was pointed away from the antenna no signal was
audible.

Sounds from electromagnetic waves can also be picked up from overhead and
buried power lines.

So the moral is that from time to time we may be recording the sound that i=
s
the result of electromagnetic waves and perhaps blaming it on ambient
background sound.
