A friend of mine had a similar problem with a telephone.  She lived right
across the street from a local AM Radio Station and, occasionally, the
radio signals would be picked up by the telephone wires.  Sometimes it
was pretty loud and you could barely hear the person at the other end.

If your brother lives around KMOX's transmitters, that could be it.  Of
course, you can write a program to draw a radio on the screen and impress
your friends with your programming talent...  :^D
