I get about 10 quick beats right before an incoming call. Why does that happen?

Your cell phone includes a radio receiver and transmitter. There is an interchange of digital packets between your phone, the cell tower, and the network connected to it. Once both sides agree that your phone is the correct phone, and which cells have an adequate signal quality and strength for a call, your phone rings. You are hearing the interference your phone's transmitter is causing to your electronics.

When I'm driving, I use that advanced warning to turn down the radio and pull off the road so I can talk.

Probably just the EM signal to/from your phone inducing a current in your speaker wire or something.

Its caused by the cross interference in frequencies from both the radio signal and the cell phone's signal. Nothnig to be alarmed about. :o)

Cutie Pie-

I don't think that explains this. I experience this problem with my computer speakers; no radio is hooked up to those.
