Has anyone else noticed the high-pitched series of tones on some of
the phoned in news reports from the Middle East?

These tones are in the 10 - 20 Khz range and are barely audible.
There doesn't seem to be a set pattern, but they seem to occur about
once every sixty seconds.  It's a series of about four different
tones, all high-pitched, lasting about a second each.

Thoughts, anyone?
