That is one possibility or could be a TV satellite dish, ham radio,
police scanner, TV cable not grounded properly, cell phone tower, or another garage door opener (would need to be fairly close like in same garage or multi-family type buildings). The other possibility is that something in the receiver is defective & no longer sending a very strong signal. How old is the unit? If parts are still under warranty you may want to change the receiver first. Or to rule out any interference from inside your home turn off all breakers except for the one that powers the garage door opener to see if the problem goes away. Outside interference is constantly becoming a problem & sometimes it will also simply disappear in a couple of days & sometimes it becomes permanent. There have been many installations where we have had to install an external receiver on a different frequency to get proper distance. However those may not be compatible w/ your built-in car remotes. We have some whole sub-divisions in our area where the range has been severely limited for years. The more radio waves that are in the air the greater the chance of interference becomes.
