When you live near a commercial radio station, you get that station across the entire radio dial and other devices that don't even have a receiver. When you live close to power lines you get 60Hz noise on all of your audio gear. Been there, done that, always look for those things whenever I move.
My toaster picked up AM radio. The whole thing vibrated as a horrible speaker. Had to keep it unplugged.

Yep, lived across the street from an AM station for awhile. All we had to do was make a short closed circuit loop antenna on a speaker to receive it well enough to listen to at a low volume. Same thing with the old copper core spark plug wires. You didn’t want to live next to a main drag in the 50s and 60s if you liked to actually hear your radio. The plug wires were little Arc Transmitter Antennas.
