Sounds like RFI coming from your house appliances. Try unplugging florescent or LED lights first. 

Then the computer, etc. until you find the offender.

The radio is reproducing what it is fed, in this case, RFI ( Radio Frequency Interference ).

I have a problem here that when my neighbor turns on their Kitchen light, all I get is buzz. Took me a while to find the source.

Happy hunting.
