Have you "upgraded" anywhere with LED bulbs around the house? Or, your power company "upgraded" your meter or something? I have had fits with these new bulbs, and even if they are far away, if they are on the same circuit, they could cause problems. We have a buzz that comes and goes on AM, and I have yet to find the source. Even opening our refrigerator door causes a buzz. I have had instances where those LED bulbs will kill a RF signal - try screwing those bulbs into a garage door opener and see what happens? Anyway - food for thought.
