Yes, that would be about right. It took a few days for the penny to drop, in
fact what alerted me was that I was listening to BBC 5 Live on 909 in the
same room as the device, and out of the corner of my eye I observed the
green light flashing in sync with the noise I heard in the background. Since
I was not using the LAN, I cut the power to the device and the noise stopped
:-)

If you're on friendly terms with your neighbour, I'm sure he or she wouldn't
mind switching off the WLAN for a few moments to determine whether it's the
source of your problem. In my case, it seems I'm causing my own QRM!
