It used to happen frequently on live radio etc broadcasts despite
those in the studio being told to turn off any phones. Rather than go
to silent. It's far less common these days, so something has changed.


It was worse with analogue phones IIRC. Used to get it a lot on RTB

You've got me confused now. ;-) My first phone - 1992 - was a Technophone
analogue, and that didn't induce the chirping noise. It was replaced (when
the service stopped) with a Nokia, and that did. I still have it, and it
still works, so I assume was on the current digital system?

I do remember it causing a problem on a Calrec analogue sound desk while
clipped to my waistband. Moving it a few feet away sorted it.
