Also, is there an electric space heater or fan that might be "kicking in"
about the same time as you notice the interference? Does the location of
the system have old or overloaded wiring? Could it be that the timing of
the interference coincides with the heating element of an electric dryer,
aquarium heater, refrigerator compressor or automatic dishwasher pump?
Do you notice the intensity of the room lighting changing at the same time
or hear any background noise that might tip you off to the source?
It might also be that the power supply in the monitor or trouble with its
degaussing circuit.
