I have a household electrical question for anyone that might be able to answer it...

Recently, when a light switch is turned off/on in a bathroom, the stereo in a nearby room makes a "pop" sound through the speakers.

Nothing has changed in the bathroom, or the setup of the stereo since before this started.

Why would it do this all of a sudden? And, what does it mean?

Thanks!

It could be a worn switch causing a electric arc when it is opened or closed. Try replacing the switch. That should correct the problem.

could be a loose wire going to the switch also causing the arc. look for black marks on the switch

Adam, I agree with the worn switch problem. If you ahve any other questions, fell free to email me. I did a lot of re-wiring stuff in my house

Adam, I am curious if you solved your electrical problem with your bathroom switch and speakers. |headscratch|

Not yet.
When I have time, I'm going to replace the switch.
