Everything makes this "Noise" he heard on the lines.
Cell, cordlessphones, microwave, ton of stuff.
NO Cable Techs Here? Really?
Most devices will display a notice, this device will cause possible interference blah blah blah.
Was your Equip Properly Grounded? Yes the 3rd prong is important. Not just the ballast but the Exhaust system should also be on a Surge Protector, Not just Power Strip.
Do Cable lines need Grounding? Absolutely! Often times the copper wire for grounding the Cable line comes off.
Being not properly grounded, all equipment could create Interference that could be classified as noise.
A Filter could have been placed on the line to stop such frequencies (only the higher freq).
If there was a problem with the lines (Cable) I would have played stupid, brought my Network from its wall mounted location and had the Tech check it in my living room, not my Netwerk/Computer room, not my ladies basking in the sun room.
My Whole Netwerk is within 5' of my ladies area.
Do I blame you for Starting up the disposal, Hells Nah.
Could your problem be as simple as a shitty Coax line, YES.
Guitar players with shitty cords can receive CB, 2-way radio, and FM, all kinds of interference. For a guitar player it could be the cord or plugs.
I hope this bit on Radio Interference helps someone.

The hobbies pair well, they have similar requirements. Invite your neighbors over to see your killer reef tank, and they will never ever raise questions about any of your grow related activities, they will just assume it's aquarium related.
but the amount of rf caused by household appliances is always overlooked. and someone made a comment about the ballast only being able to fuck with a radio and that is plain and simple bs. microwaves, fridges, even cable boxes and modems themselves can and do cause electromagnetic interference. sometimes the answer is as simple as moving the modem to a different outlet. just make sure you understand how the splitters should be configured. contrary to popular belief, you can't run a thousand outlets off a 3 way split configured any old which way and expect everything to work correctly.
