If I hover next to a receptacle, it reads 95 dB. If I turn my lights off, I go down to about 45 dB. If I shut off the circuit to the receptacle I just measured, the meter reads about 45 dB. The problem is so bad that I can trace my house-wiring in my wall with the SPL meter!



Mojo that is certainly an odd problem (and somewhat scary). I'm not sure the sound is in that range though as the Radio Shack SPL meters do not register that high a frequency. With C weighting my owners' manual states 32hz to 10,000 for the RS meter.

Jack, leave your "how to be a holier than thou forum P.C. spokesman" comments for people that will actually listen. I've posted here too long to be interested.
There's a ton of posters over at AVS that could use your help though.
