Kill Mobile Phone Speaker Buzz With An Electrostatic Bag

Sick of the buzzing you hear over nearby speakers whenever a call or message arrives at your phone? We’ve previously posted a ferrite bead cable fix, but keeping a protective electrostatic bag nearby can also kill the buzz.

Electrostatic bags are the gold standard for packaging hard drives and other computer hardware, and even some smartphones. If you lack for a smaller-sized bag, it’s probably available at your local electronics or computer store. As the video below demonstrates, placing your phone on or even just near the thin bag significantly cuts down on “GSM buzz”.

Keeping a loose bag on your desktop might not meet many workers’ idea of a neat and pleasing desktop, though, so we’ll welcome any re-purpose or design ideas in the comments. Thanks Peter!
