You know what, it might just be a static discharge... Is this harmful to the speakers and how can I solve this? AFAIK MK3 cables are the one to use instead of MK2...

If it is a high pitch static charge it usually hits the tweeter, the weakest part of the speaker.

Could it be a mobile phone, cordless phone, garage door opener, microwave oven, wireless lan bridge/repeater, telephone repeater etc. , just something you added/replaced/moved lately....?

You know what... It might just be the microwave! 😉 I'm not at home right now, but I will give it a try next week. Thanks! 🤒

Microwave disconnected. Problem solved. 🤒 🙂 Thanks for your input! 🤒

I had exactly the same problem when I connected a fridge in the same circuit as my BL 3 speakers... I almost freaked out when I heard it the first time!!
