Did you only switch off your electric devices or did you switch off the
electricity completely? You should use a MW frequency to locate the source,
as you then will be able to use the directionality of your ferrite antenna.
But you probably did this already...

It is confusing that the noise is there at very irregular times, but on the
other hand regularly only from the late afternoon onwards.

Good luck and keep us informed about improvements.

Willi
