Use a Red Bull can as a radio interference shield

I love the iPhone, save for one thing. It sits on my desk every night, right near my computer, and the speakers I’ve got hooked up to it. And every 15 minutes, when the iPhone checks e mail for me, I get that buzzing — the sound of radio interference flying across my speaker wires. And nearly every night, I have to jump out of bed angrily just to shut off the speakers and stop the buzzing. Little did I know, all I’ve ever needed was an empty can of Red Bull.

Yes, someone has fashioned a “shield” out of an emptied and carved up Red Bull can, and supposedly it works like a charm — just fashion it around the dock that

came with the iPhone, use a little doublestick tape to assemble certain it stays on there (and I would possibly put some around the edges, too, so you don’t slice your fingers open every instance you pull the iPhone off the dock), and no more buzzing sound.

The maker does wonder whether it would affect the actual signal of the iPhone at all, but it hasn’t so far. whether you’ve got a Red Bull can around to cut up and are driven as nuts as I am by that buzzing noise, here’s your makeshift solution. The other option is to buy speakers that don’t buzz, of course, but that seems a lot cheaper.
