My Wife has a hair drier with one of those things embedded in the power plug. It is the size of a small wall wart. BUT... While it may be small, It it LOUD!

Only 40 meters effects it. But when I transmit on 40 you cant say it clicks, yes it is a "Click" type of sound.  But it is sooo loud and aggressive, it literally shakes the WALL! The thing is all the way on the other side of the house, and if I forget to go and unplug the hair drier before operating on 40 meters, I can hear it clicking away even when I am wearing headphones!

I am remodeling kitchen and bath.  The new electrical code here in CA
requires a number of things that are potentially harmful to our hobby.  For
example the use of arc-fault breakers.  I know that one of the techniques
for identifying arcs involves detecting broadband RF.  Does anyone have any
experience with transmissions false triggering these devices?
