Long time readers may remember my second post on corewerkz: How to prevent iPhone audio interference in speakers. Basically, I used aluminum foil to block the GSM cell-phone signals from getting into my car speakers (or computer speakers).

Although this solution kept the noise out of the speakers, and didn’t seem to effect cell signal, it did have an impact on bluetooth reception. I was getting lots of static when the iPhone was more than about 12″ from my bluetooth headset (both Plantronics and Jawbone). Needless to say, using bluetooth on a daily basis became a hassle.

I have found a new and improved technique that will keep bluetooth static to a minimum and the noise out of your speakers; instead of aluminum foil, use the foil-paper that you find in a pack of cigarettes. For whatever reason, it seems to block the exact right amount of GSM and keep bluetooth interference to a minimum. In fact, it may even block the speaker interference better – I haven’t heard a peep since the foil-paper.

Here's how to do it:
