Why does a cellphone ringing in the room mess with the radio?

Question

I have a small alarm clock/radio on my desk in my office. Whenever anyone's cell phone goes off (rings, text alerts, vm alerts) it buzzes and stutters very loudly regardless of the volume the radio is at. Why is that? Can I do anything to stop it?

Answer 1

Cell phones use wave frequencies similar to that of clocks, radios, or sometimes even computers. So incoming cell waves can mess with the electronics in your house, and they can mess up your reception sometimes.

Answer 2

It is probably the sound waves interfering as the previous person said. I always notice that too. It can interfer by changing your tv channal even or if near a mainline phone can cause it to buzz.

Answer 3

Hmm....i might say the two grimy Diana, Earth track, or Morphine, considering he shouts lots in those songs, which continues to be cool because of the fact Michael has a sexy scream/shout :D & with regard to the image, is it an MJ tatoo with the tip of the "M" curled right into a "J"? only questioning, in spite of the indisputable fact that it does look extraordinarily cool!
