As an interesting aside, my window shaker AC unit in the bedroom plays
music very softly when it's running. Took quite a few times getting
up to see which radio had been left on before I tried turning that
off, and the quiet tunes stopped. Must be some kind of wierd thing
with the fan spinning inside a farraday cage, or my brain is just
filling in the static, though it doesn't happen with a white noise
machine. I figure it's probably not me, though- it's usually stuff I
don't listen to, and comes complete with commericals.

Could that be a neighbors radio playing? If you are letting outside air
mix, the sound could be coming in when the unit is on and its out side air
door is open.

Could be, but I'm in an awful quiet neighborhood- and the outside air
vent stays closed to keep the humidity out. Probably some oddball
combo of directional placement, circuit boards and dental fillings all
aligned "just so".
