my next door neighbor called me last year. He called to let me know that my 
NEW tower was causing him a problem....

He came home from dinner out & seems that his baby sitter was terrified as 
his house was haunted... voices ...all garbled were coming out of all the 
walls in this house!!!!!  He called the builder ( another neighbor) ...who 
promptly advised him to call me !!!
I explained that it was not the NEW tower, and that the prior resident of 
the home had the same problem with the NuTone intercom.  I called NuTone , 
talked with a tech, and was sent a manual for the intercom, which I copied 
and gave to my neighbor..  It says on page 2... something like "" it is not 
the fault of the airplane , taxicab, squad car or amateur radio station... 
it's in the design !!!""  and precedes to suggest calling a technician put 
"filters" in the system. ...  My neighbor, a really nice guy did as his 
predecessor...
he turned the intercom off.

Maybe NuTone makes a nice range hood, or bathroom fan...
    but their intercoms are not designed to eliminate the airplanes or me.
