YES YES and YES. Do yourselves a favor and do a walkabout your house 
with a simple old transistor radio. Put it on a frequency up near the top end 
of the AM Band where you don't hear any station. Best is if the transistor 
radio has a whip antenna. Now walkabout your house and place that whip 
antenna near all electrical devices. Wall Warts, Monitors, Computers Light 
switches, Washers Dryers, Dishwashers, Your Furnace and AC system, 
Lights, Low Voltage lights.
Once you add up all that noise trust me it does get to your ANTENNAS. 

Repeat after Jim.  It's NOT about distance from the station, it's about distance to the 
 ANTENNAS.

Be a "Good Neighbor" and check your neighbors houses out. They too are 
adding to your noise. Don't be afraid to spend a few bucks offering them 
some non-noise making devices.
