When handphones are placed near speakers which are playing a song.....?

Hello!

Imagine that I'm now listening to a song on my computer and I happened to place my handphone just beside my speaker! Later on, the speaker made a strange cracking 'noise' and then, I got a call on my handphone!

Later on, my speakers made the same 'cracking noise' again and this time, I received a SMS!

I know this has something to do with the propagating waves and all that but could someone explain to me in detail on how the cracking noise interfers with the music played on the speaker? What phenomenon is this?

Thanx and take care! =)

    handphone = portable telephone of some sort

    When your portable phone receives a call it

    generates a signal for its ringer to allert you to the message. The electrical signals to the phone ringer/speaker seem to be coupling to your speaker system.
