    Cable TV, dish, cell phones. Over-the-air TV is digital now. Most people will never notice interference below 400 MHz. Maybe to a baby monitor. Above 400 MHz, the interference usually only travels 50ft. Sometimes you can't even hear it at ground level underneath the pole.

    No doorbell on my house. I've cut the power to the whole house and still have the interference.

    A bad high voltage connection can cause radio static and that sleeve looks pretty bad if you zoom in on it. You would most likely hear some arcing though. It could be buzzing in the trees for a long time before it faults. Does the radio signal get more interference when your close to it?

    Also since you ruled out your house, street lights can cause radio problems as well. Usually the radio people will come out with shot gun mics(the microphone with the big cone around it) and hand held radios.

    Also could be something is your neighbors house if you live right on top of each other.

    Trees were touching the primary lines and a tie-wire was arcing. The trees were trimmed and the tie-wire tightened. The interference is still there and one of the poles (that didn't have the tie-wire tightened) can still be heard buzzing.

    Planning to check the tie-wire and other equipment on that pole as well.
