Testing the electronic buzz around you

Call me old fashioned, but I still rely on the traditional small portable transistor radio for background sound while working. If something extra interesting is under discussion, I am even happy to carry the radio on a neighborhood stroll while walking the dog. No slim ear-bud connected model for me!
This simple AM-FM radio device is also a useful detector of signals sent by other devices so if  you want to check on your neighbourhood's signal traffic aka electronic pollution, you will find that carrying the radio, while tuned to a broadcast station allows you to pick up signal interruptions from other sources.
I had already known that the radio signal goes wild and squealy when placed anywhere near devices like your phone base station, your laptop, computer screen and hard-drive - indicating how much unseen "stuff" is coming off these electronic items - in fact you will find more if you live in a highly electronic environment. I also know that the radio makes noises when a cellphone signal is picked up somewhere close by - even if not in my own home.
In my local, usually very quiet residential neighbourhood, there is a point where lots of signals are being emitted - possibly from a small telephone junction point or possibly from some wi-fi activity. Whatever is doing it, I would not consider that an energetically healthy place to be living. Insomnia, fatigue and symptoms of generally feeling unwell are in the range of possible responses to excess electronic interference with the body's own electrical system.
