Taming the buzzing cell phone

cellphone on a CD coaster

Does your cell phone inject nasty buzzing noises into your speakers while you’re trying to work? I came up with a simple hack: put a CD or DVD on your desk, then lay your cell phone on top of it. It appears that the dielectric in the disc is sufficient to mop up extra EMI from the phone, but not enough to stop it from receiving calls and e-mails.

This works with my iPhone — your mileage may vary.
