Has anyone else has this happen to them? Any idea about why it happens with AT&T but not other companies like Verizon? Could it be they operate in different frequencies?
It's what happens with pretty much all phones that are near speakers. I've owned 4 GSM phones and they have all had a morse code like effect on my speakers (computer and home theater).

AT&T.

It's so common, that some artists use that sound in their tracks.

Fun fact: when you drive a car in GTA4 and your phone rings, sometimes you will hear the same interference sound. Pay it no mind, it's just how GSM band operates.
