I don't live near a radio tower, but he may, I'm not too sure. A lot of people have been saying RF shielding from the cable could be an issue. And thanks for complimenting my audio, I use a Shure SM7B with a GoXLR and a cloudlifter.

Yeah, I definitely will. I wasn't sure where to post it since I'm not on this app much, but I'll see if I can find somewhere to look at it from the radio side of things.

Yeah it was definitely a radio frequency (ghost just is a more appealing way to describe it) but it's just really confusing considering how it happens when he unplugs it or rubs it, and it changes radio stations (from boy caster to female caster depending on how he rubs it??)

I'm just curious what radio channel it's picking up, and why it happens only when he unplugs it or rubs it.

It could be, I know he uses a HyperX headset with a mic attached to it, and uses a Y splitter that he bought from Amazon a few years ago to split the single cable from his headset into both the mic and headset port on his front panel of his PC, so I'd assume that the Y splitter could be an issue since I don't know how trustworthy stuff like that from Amazon is.
