hi,

whenever i flip an electric switch on a wall (i.e. a light switch) not necessarly in the same room as my pc, my logitec surround speakers make a 'spark/clicking' sound.

why is that?

It's called 'Physics"

Electrical switches emit a burst of RF noise when turned on or off (spark transmitter) - this signal can be picked up by speakers etc.
