Does anyone recognize this device?

[Mike Johnson]

I recognise that box. It's a unit that monitors brain waves and sends out signals to control crowds and take over their minds. I've seen them on facebook so it must be true.

If that where true then President Trump would have been controlled by the most intelligent people in the USA and not make such an a**e of himself, on second thoughts.....................

Well, that is certainly one argument. I would argue that the jury is still out - as would basically every government agency, nation, respectable health and technical organization. Just look at Cell Phones and Cancer Risk Fact Sheet - https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/radiation/cell-phones-fact-sheet alone and there are numerous studies - all with conflicting results.

No they are not "all with conflicting results" - you have simply read and taken the section that confirms your bias. I guess you skipped over the bits such as:

A few studies have shown some evidence of statistical association of cell phone use and brain tumor risks in humans, but most studies have found no association.

Almost all show no link, and many that were uncertain later turned out to have no statistical significance, for example: Authors’ response to: The case of acoustic neuroma: comment on mobile phone use and risk of brain neoplasms and other cancers - https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/43/1/275/731253

Also have you considered the inverse square-law of EM field strength as a function of distance. If that unit is a transmitter and some 10m or more from you, and your phone is, say, 0.1m from you when you use it, that is a 10,000 difference in power for a fixed transmitter level. So if your phone has, say 0.1W out (most can go to 1-2W but only if you are far from the base station, etc) then that pole-mounted unit would need to put out 1kW of RF power to match it, and that would mean an input power of something like 2.5kW given most transmitters are around 40% efficient. That box simply cannot get rid of that amount of heat, it would be like running 1-2 bars of an electric fire in a shoe box!

So if your mobile phone is not causing you the same symptoms as soon as you use it, then it is not an EMF cause.

My first assumption was tinnitus, however as I may have omitted in my original post, I only experience this in my home, which is not as quiet as I would like thanks to too many modern day appliances, traffic sounds, etc. If I want to escape the buzzing/whistling, I find it is best to go out to the state park or nature preserve, or even the forest behind my house. I've even driven out to quiet parking lots just to read in peace in my car with the engine off.

Does anyone else in your home experience this?

You should establish if it is an observable property of your home by others (which would suggest something like gas/water supplied making/carrying the noise if it persists with electric off, or if a block of flats then possibly equipment in others) or only yourself (in which case it would appear to be a medical issue).

Just because the cable goes into the light where the Photocell is doesn't mean it's connected to it or that it's using it as photcell or it's been replaced with a transmitter.
It's most likely using the hole where the photocell is to pass the cable inside.

It may be connected to the cell just to get power.

As I noted earlier the device is only being held up by 1 of it's 2 supports.
It's quite likely the other will come loose then it will fall potentially injuring someone.

I'd suggest contacting whoever is responsible for the lighting and inform them something fixed to their light is potentially going to cause injury to someone, with a law suit to follow no doubt.
Describe it to them or attatch the photo and they may tell you what it is

Is the mysterious unit anywhere hear a raod junction or multilane highway?
Could be an access point for wireless sensors buried in the road lanes;

But being serious for a moment, that is a receiver - it is not going to radiate EMF anyway.

And as above, the whole EMF thing is rubbish anyway. We have 2 billion or more folks using mobile phones that are the strongest radiator of EMF that anyone outside of a very few jobs can encounter, and they they are not a problem. Funny how so many folk complain of EMF using Facebook on their phones and don't get the irony of it.

And then you get the sellers of 5G blockers to save their lives and when they plug them in they complain they have no internet connection on their phones LOL

was it installed by The Borg?

 

[MJPD29]

The buzzing is... dare i say it... in your head. The photocell has nothing to do with it. 9/11 was not a conspiracy, and the government are not syping on you.

i was thinking the other day,we havent had one of these for while......

Did anyone notice the sky was falling today in big white bits?
