Okay, so I have an Acoustic Research wireless audio system sitting around the house. It's a two part system, an audio transmitter that plugs into an mp3 player or something, and a wireless speaker so you can bring music around the house, yard, whatever.

Here is a link to the product on amazon: Amazon.com: Audiovox Acoustic Research AW825 Mission Style Wireless Speaker (Bronze): Electronics

I saw a sticker on the bottom of the transmitter that said 900MHz and I thought it would be fun to listen to the signal through my sdr dongle, so I did. It seems to just be an FM transmitter, and sounds great on the computer. Cool. What was strange was when I unplugged my iPhone and picked up the transmitter. I heard a "BOOM" in my computer speakers just as I touched the device. Well I played around tapping it for a bit and noticed if I speak loud enough near the transmitter I could hear my voice in the transmission!

Is this some kind of interference or is there actually a hidden microphone in this thing???

At around 12 seconds you can hear me say "testing 123" and tap a couple time before and after that. Sorry for the zip file, the forums wont let me share an mp3 or wav...
