No, more likely the amp was feeding back signal through the line
and a
neighbor complained. In checking that out, he may well have found you
amp was also going illegal. The cable companies hare sensitive to
what you hook up to THEIR lines as it can cause problems for other
customers.

The amp could be a cheapo one,and acting as a noise generator.Or
overdriving an input,or had a loose connection.
