I would like to deny this, but that discussion gets too technical.

See my message where I equal phantom noise with RF noise. Lots of
frequencies which are intermodulated and under certain circumstances
detected by PN transitions and diods and rectified into audible
noise. The start of such a problem is always (??) an unstable chopper
with varying pulse-width.
