I had a basic Safety First baby monitor. I think it cost all of $18 USD. Every night it would go through these spasms of 10 minutes of nothing except static. I would unplug everything that did not need to be plugged in to help stop it but it didn't.
The other day I bought a Fisher-price Lights & Sounds baby monitor for about $ 40 USD. It seems to be working well but it ALSO produces a TON of static. I have tried it on both channels...still goes through spasms.
Has this happened to anyone else? Or is there something with the electrical system in my apartment?
Blue- That is SO creepy and very weird that you picked that up! LOL

I have the same Fisher Price monitor that you do. It is ALWAYS staticy, but from my understanding, all monitors are. Oh, and if you keep a cell phone too close to it, it makes funky screechy sort of noises. I just turn a fan on at night for "white noise" and I don't really notice the static anymore.

Does anyone know how to eliminate the static noise my baby monitor emits while on my night table?

It isn't unusual for static to be traveling right thru your electric wire as result of causes outside and even away from you home.
The most affective home device creating static would be florescent lighting of any kind. They can even buzz a television if the tv has insufficient shielding installed.. Second to that would be small motors such as clocks and fans of home appliances and electronic toys such as computers,
You may not hear the noise of these devices but they do emit a static frequency that can be amplified with a microphone and transmitted elsewhere such as does your baby monitor.
There are monitors with squelch controls but can be very costly as well.
Lowering the input level on the monitor in the baby's room will help some.
It would also help a great deal if you placed that one on a soft foam pad because your home is literally satuated with sounds you do not hear and a great deal of this is bouncing around furniture, walls and ceilings. The soft foam will insulate the baby monitor from carrying sound from the stand or table it is placed on.
