Obi box causing GSM-like interference in speakers?

Hey guys,

I'm thrilled with my Obi 100.  Soon after I plugged it in, I noticed that something was inducing GSM interference noise into the speakers on my computer.  It's exactly the same kind of periodic (once every 20 minutes or so) buzzing noise that I used to get when I'd put a GSM phone in proximity of my speakers, or near the amp, or speaker wires.

The solution is typically pretty easy, if this is indeed the Obi inducing the interference -- move it away from the speakers / speaker-wire / amp power cable / etc.  But before I go buying extension cords and the like, I'd like to check in and see if I'm crazy or not... does the Obi have some kind of GSM gizmo inside of it that would cause this interference?  That would surprise me, maybe this is just a coincidence.  Has anybody else experienced this with their Obi?
